Thanks for adding the ability to change this in the gateway!

I have a question though, It says I have to restart the computer in order for the new sampling interval to take effect. Can I just go to Services in Computer Management and restart the Ignition service instead? Would this effectively do the same thing?

Oops. What I meant to have that say was that you need to restart the server for it to take effect.

Which means all that is necessary is restarting the OPC-UA module. (Configuration \> Modules section)

Restarting the service will certainly work as well. Restarting the entire computer will work but is unnecessary. I will change the text under there.
