The Poll is a type of Xentara I/O Batch that groups multiple variables to be read and written together. The write and read operations take place by invoking the poll’s read or write tasks. Also there is a timeout parameter that is used to configure the expected time duration for the tasks' execution to be finished. If a task’s execution duration surpasses the timeout value, it will be treated as a connection error.
