Change Kontakt SDK time frame for updating beacon distance

Question

I've been trying to use Kontakt.io's sample Android app to implement a simple app that would connect to a Kontakt beacon and show the beacon details. Now what i noticed is that the beacons are updating very slow i.e. after almost 2 seconds, however i want it to update after some 400 or 500 milliseconds so that when a beacon device is move here and there then the android screen should show that distance in more fast way. Following is the code from the Scan Activity.Here I am getting the majors of beacons and their distances from the phone. And on update I am updating the first index i.e. the first beacon detected and getting its distance but it is updating so slow

private IBeaconListener createIBeaconListener() {
return new IBeaconListener() {
  @Override
  public void onIBeaconDiscovered(IBeaconDevice iBeacon, IBeaconRegion region) {
    Log.i(TAG, "onIBeaconDiscovered: " + iBeacon.getMajor() + " " + iBeacon.getDistance());
  }

  @Override
  public void onIBeaconsUpdated(List<IBeaconDevice> iBeacons, IBeaconRegion region) {
    Log.i(TAG, "onIBeaconsUpdated: " + iBeacons.get(0).getDistance());

  }

  @Override
  public void onIBeaconLost(IBeaconDevice iBeacon, IBeaconRegion region) {
    Log.e(TAG, "onIBeaconLost: " + iBeacon.toString());
  }
};

I don't know where to change or where to see that after what time the beacon is updating. Anyone knows it?

You can change transmission interval of beacons in kontakt beacon dashboard. but if you are changing too much it causes major issues with signal stability. see here.

if you want to update 400 or 500 milliseconds, you can change transmission power accordingly.
