Title: Anyone else experiencing hangs in Mach3 with latest ESS plugin?
Post by: Analias on August 27, 2012, 12:30:22 AM

I'm running the latest plugin from Warp9 with Mach3 and whenever I try to access a config screen I am seeing long delays before the configuration window comes up.  The delays can be anywhere from four to ten minutes (or even longer).  Eventually the request window does appear.

I haven't tried all windows, but I have seen the behavior with the "Ports and Pins", "Home and Limits", "General Configuration", and the ESS plugin configuration window.

Is this an ESS thing or could it be something else?  I have only ran Mach3 in simulation or with the ESS plugin.

My system configuration is:

  I5 @ 3.2GHz
  16GB RAM
  nVidia 470
  Windows 7 64-bit
  Mach 3.043.066 (Dev version)
  ESS v10fb2

I hate replying to my own messages.

I just noticed that if I Alt-Tab the configuration window pops up.  I don't know what could be causing this.

I've never seen this happen before, it sounds more like a Windows issue or something happened to Mach. You might try reinstalling Mach and see what happens.
