| 14. 114. 2. Timer Properties: coalesce | |
The coalesce property allows for a busy system to throw notifications that haven't happened yet when a new event needs to be fired. | |
This means if a timer runs every 500 milliseconds, but its system is bogged down and doesn't respond for a whole 2 seconds, the timer needs to send only one message, rather than also sending the missing ones. If the setting were false, four messages would still need to be sent. | |
By default, the coalesce value is true. |
