Issue
Under ideal conditions how long should it take for a Graphic panel to update it's active objects with live values based on the number of active links?
Environment
Continuum v1.94
Pinpoint
Cause
Site Graphics seem to be taking a long time to update all active objects. Not sure how quick this should be in an ideal environment.
Resolution
Initial testing was done with a LAN configuration, SQL Server 2008 with two Cyberstations, and one bCX1 controller. Three graphics were created, one with 100 active object links to numerics on the bCX1, one with 200 active links, and one with 300 active links. (Note that we suggest a maximum of 100 active objects per graphic for stability and speed). See article #11478 .
When viewing these graphics on one Workstation at a time it was taking on average about 1s per 5 objects to initially load all values the first time the graphic was opened.
- 100 object graphic - 20 seconds
- 200 object graphic - 40 seconds
- 300 object graphic - 50 - 60 seconds
After the initial pass was complete though, any subsequent updates were updating in 1 - 2 seconds after the values were being changed. (Note that each active objects update rate was still at the default 1000ms setting).
