polling driver example

Can someone explain how to setup the very basic polling I require?

here's what I need

  • read from remote site A for 5 seconds
  • read from remote site B for 5 seconds
  • read from remote site C for 5 seconds
  • read from remote site D for 5 seconds
  • read from remote site E for 5 seconds
  • ... repeat

What I've done based on my interpretation of the polling driver help is polling all five sites continuously. I need to poll them1 at a time.

here's what I've done

  • site A
    • Poll Group Name = reservoirs
    • Station Number = 1
    • Scan Interval = 5
    • Delay After Scan Interval = 0
    • External Trigger = constant
  • site B
    • Poll Group Name = reservoirs
    • Station Number = 2
    • Scan Interval = 5
    • Delay After Scan Interval = 0
    • External Trigger = constant
  • site C
    • Poll Group Name = reservoirs
    • Station Number = 3
    • Scan Interval = 5
    • Delay After Scan Interval = 0
    • External Trigger = constant
  • site D
    • Poll Group Name = reservoirs
    • Station Number = 4
    • Scan Interval = 5
    • Delay After Scan Interval = 0
    • External Trigger = constant
  • site E
    • Poll Group Name = reservoirs
    • Station Number = 5
    • Scan Interval = 5
    • Delay After Scan Interval = 0
    • External Trigger = constant
