# LM - Transmission Interval

The Transmission Interval defines the time period between consecutive data transmissions from a device to the platform or server. It controls how often the device sends updates, including sensor readings, status reports, or other relevant information.\ <br>

## Steps to Set  Up Transmission Interval

1. **Go to the Devices Section**:
   * Navigate to the **Devices** section in the platform and locate the device for which you want to configure the transmission interval.
2. **Open Configuration Settings**:
   * Once you've selected the device, click on the **Configuration** tab to access the available settings.
3. **Locate the Transmission Interval Setting**:
   * In the configuration options, find the **Transmission Interval** field. This field allows you to specify how often the device will transmit its data to the platform.
4. **Choose the Interval Type**:
   * On the platform, you can choose between two interval options:
     * **Regular Transmission Interval**:
       * The device sends data at regular intervals, which can either follow the **Default Transmission Interval** or a user-defined **Custom Interval**.
     * **Scheduled Transmission Interval**:
       * The device sends data at specific, predefined times. You can schedule one or more transmission times according to your requirements.
5. **Set the Interval**:
   * Based on your needs, enter the desired time period or schedule. This determines how frequently the device will transmit updates. Choosing the appropriate interval ensures a balance between data accuracy and resource efficiency.
6. **Save the Settings**:
   * After setting the desired interval, click the **Save** button to confirm and apply the changes to the device configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.g-iot.io/level-meter-full-device-guide-book/level-meter-greater-than-giots-function/lm-configurations/lm-transmission-interval.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
