Issue
Is it possible to speed up the refresh rate of values in a TGML graphic?
Environment
Vista 5.1.X
Cause
A customer requires the values to be updated as often as possible.
Resolution
There is no setting to change the refresh rate in TGML but there are a number of things that can be done to create an efficient graphic.
In Vista 5.1.7 and newer:
- On the view menu, there is an item called 'Statistics'. When testing the graphic it possible to see how efficient the graphic is. Items such as a script on document load are very costly, for example.
- There is a new property for binding called 'DynamicUpdates'. This can be used to activate a binding later instead of when the graphic is loaded. This can be useful if not all object are visible when the graphic is loaded.
- Use scripts only when absolutely necessary.
