German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / instrument panel cluster specifications
German term or phrase: (Software)abtastung
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
Explanation:
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.
