priority limits on a timed loop

[amflores]

Hi,

With reference to the value of priority in a timed loop, the help says that this value must be between 1 and 65,535.
Anyone know what these limits are referred?

Thanks for your time...

Timed loops run in a dedicated execution system at a priority above high priority but below "Time Critical"  if there is more than one timed loop running the timed loops priority value is used to signal the OS which loop should get the larger amount of processor time. The lower the number the higher the priority requested.  Some OS's even respect that number.  Some do their own scheduling anyway.

Jeff,

thanks for your answer, but do you know where these numbers come?. I mean why the upper limit value is 65,535 and not 90,000 or 45,000

Thanks
