Examples - Sparkplug Edge Node - Set polling interval

.NET

// This example shows how to set the polling (publishing) interval for the metrics on the edge node.
//
// You can use any Sparkplug application, including our SparkplugCmd utility and the SparkplugApplicationConsoleDemo
// program, to subscribe to the edge node data.
