Those are binary encoded resources that only the designer can change.

But you could put a desired interval in a memory tag, then have a fast-running timer read that and check a "last run" timestamp to decide whether the rest of the logic should run.

No, the binary formats of resources are not exposed in the SDK.

It's expected that these resources will become text/json based in the next year or two.
