The parameters required to support this feature are: 
  Cyclic Set IV Time 
  IV Check Delay Time 
  IV Fail Count 
To disable this feature, set the IV Fail Count parameter to 0. If the IV bit field is 
absent or set to 0, the invalid quality state for the point will always be reported as 
valid. If used, the Cyclic Set IV Time parameter must be at least 3 times larger 
than the IV Check Delay Time. 
The CYCLIC SET IV TIME parameter determines the interval at which the driver will 
set all the IV bits for the points being monitored. If the IV bit is ON for the number 
of times specified by the IV FAIL COUNT parameter, the point is in an invalid state. 
The driver will check the state of each bit at the frequency determined by the IV 
CHECK DELAY TIME. 
The values for the parameters must permit the driver to properly execute the 
logic. For example, the value for CYCLIC SET IV TIME should be twice the IV 
CHECK DELAY TIME, multiplied by the IV FAIL COUNT. If the cyclic timer is set to a 
smaller value, the logic may not execute correctly.
