6.4.9 Setting the Poll Timeout
Poll Timeout is the amount of time the host waits for a response after transmitting a device poll
before it records a device poll timeout, in units of one-tenths of a second.
This time varies. It depends on the number of devices connected to the host system. The more
devices connected to the host, the longer it takes the host to poll each device. If the PIN pad
device misses more than 16 consecutive polls, the host will abandon the device.
