The ASD very well may update every 200ms. However the surveillance position symbols update every five seconds. If you zoom in close enough you can actually see the update, count 5 seconds, and then see the next update. I believe it’s a hangover from when all surveillance was SSR and 5 seconds was how long one sweep of the radar took.
