![]() And if I click on one of these items to open its drop down menu, that takes quite some time, as well. Normally the menu name that the mouse cursor moves over immediately highlights to indicate that the program knows where the mouse is.īut in this case, there is a noticeable lag time before the “hovered over” item highlights. The mouse cursor moves smoothly over the windows, but things that should highlight as the “mouseover” events should be happening do NOT highlight in a timely fashion.Īs an example: I move the mouse cursor up to one of the drop down menu items along the top left of the main window for PAC Display Runtime (File, View, Alarm, etc.). I’m wondering if this might be an incompatibility with the video drivers in this particular computer. So it seems as though PAC Display Runtime simply does not cause a refresh or redraw to the video system in this PC. For example, clicking the “restore down” and then “restore” button for the entire program, so that the system has to redraw that window, causes the windows within the program window to be updated.Īdditionally, it appears that the program is actually executing behind the scenes and capturing the new data at a reasonable pace because the trends and supertrends, when redrawn, show the missing data logged (graphed) correctly filled in with no missing data points. UNLESS you do something to make it redraw the window. OK, I rebooted the PC in question, and now, with only the PAC Display Runtime running, it doesn’t update any of the windows at all… So thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. I always appreciate everyone’s time to answer questions on here. I figure there’s some new feature or setting in this years-newer version of PAC Project that I need to set up correctly, but I’m not sure what it would be. And other operations and programs running on the new PC run fast and smooth even while the MMI is up and running (sluggishly). Shutting off the PAC Display on the old XP machine doesn’t improve the response of PAC Display running on the new PC. I am also running my old version of the PAC Display runtime on the original old, slow XP machine, and it still updates every second, and responds smoothly and quickly to mouse clicks in the pull-down menus, and on buttons and controls in the MMI itself. I also have the real time clock data, read from the controller, displayed on several windows, and it updates at between 6 and 8 second intervals, skipping the times between. Upon initially starting the runtime up, the windows draw slowly, taking perhaps 15 seconds to draw and populate with data.Īnd while I have a number of trends set to update at 1 second intervals, they respond much more slowly. Even the highlighting of selections as I move the cursor over them takes several seconds. Mouse clicks to bring up different windows are slow to respond. I loaded the existing PAC Display program into the new version of PAC Display, saved it, and am now executing the “new” runtime.Īll of this works, but strangely, the version running on the new PC is very sluggish. The system seems to run fine, just as it has been. I compiled it and uploaded it to the main controller (the R2), and all went well. I loaded the existing PAC Control program into this new version of PAC Control, and then re-saved it. The other controllers and brains in the system are:ġ SNAP-PAC-R2 which now has R10.0f (this is the main controller for the system)ģ G4EB2s which are also now running R10.0f I updated the firmware on all of the controllers and brains in the system with the exceptions of: I copied my existing PAC Display and PAC Control programs over from the old PC to the new machine. To be able to use this new PC with Win 10, I downloaded and installed the latest version of PAC PROJECT Basic. To start out, I’ve only got a 1080p monitor connected, but the built-in graphics will run at least one 4K monitor. With a 1000GB NVMe PCIe 2280 M.2 SSD as the main “hard drive”. It’s a much faster computer than the old XP machine, of course. Up till now, I’ve been using an old PC with Win XP on it, and thus limited me as to what version of PAC Project I could run. ![]() I just added a new PC to a system mainly to provide a way to drive a 4K display with PAC Display. ![]()
