As default, all addresses are polled - 126 for XP95/Discovery and
254 for CoreProtocol. You can choose to poll a selection of devices if
necessary. To enable this on Loop View you need to press and hold the
starting address in your selection, then slide to the last device in the
required range. The selected polling range will then be highlighted.
