After initially loading a server's node tree, ecFlowUI will automatically refresh, or synchronise with, the server at regular intervals. This interval can be set globally for all servers in the Edit | Preferences | Server Options dialogue, or for each server individually by selecting the Server Settings tab in the Info Panel while a server's root node is selected. There are three possible outcomes from this synchronisationthe refresh:
- nothing has changed since the last synchronisation
- minor changes have occurred, such as nodes changing their status - the changes are sent by the server and incorporated into ecFlowUI's tree
