Delay in updating Multiple Printout


---

Recommended Posts

For one of my volume products, it takes 20 - 30 seconds to update and display the Multiple Printout (Standard Protocol). This is a significant impact to my cycle times. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should look for to improve this delay?

Thanks

The one that always increased my printout time was point density, especially on a datum surface that was recalled by a lot of tolerances. I had one program that took a couple minutes. I opened up the strategy to look at what the programmer had done, and it looked like a drunken toddler had scribbled all over the surface with the polyline and was scanning some 30K points.

I have noticed a large increase in loading times for StandardProtocol after updating to Calypso 2021.
Previously the results from the same plan would take about 10 seconds to appear, now its about 40 seconds.
Curiously it happens on Offline Station and Accura2 machine. On the older Accura it works as previously.

Open Windows Task Manager before running the program. Watch as it runs the reports

Look at the graphs of the processor. If one is running near 90% that is slowing things down.

If I run any other programs the Physical Memory Available can go down to about 1GB. That will slow it down.

If a lot of data is being written to the drive the hard drive light will be nearly solid instead of blinking. Upgrading to an SSD helps.

And as mentioned in the above post, too many points slows it down by overloading the graphics card.

Better yet open Windows Performance Monitor and set it up to monitor and graph the %usage of the memory, processor, disk, and graphics card. This will tell you where the bottleneck is in the system.
