German term

(Software)abtastung

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks instrument panel cluster specifications
This term came up before but I am not sure if the selected answer (scanning) fits in my context.

Context: specifiation for an instrument cluster panel whereby many of the functions aser computer-controlled.

Eingangssignale:
Die Forderungen für leitungsgebundene und eingestrahlte Störungen sind einzuhalten (Siehe Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit in Abschnitt 6 ).

Eine einmalige SW-Abtastung ist für die Ausführung einer Funktion nicht ausreichend.

Thanks as always for any suggestions.

polling

For software this would be polling of the input state, to see if it's high or low.

I can imagine that for certain features the input state would have to be high continuously instead of just acting as a single trigger, so the controller would need to poll the input at a certain rate (kHz/MHz) to see if the condition is fullfilled.
Note from asker:
Many thanks.
