Title: 33 seconds to load complex screens in Mach3
Post by: aircastle on January 19, 2013, 11:58:12 AM
I have complex screens with 200 graphics files for LEDs and buttons. It takes 33 seconds for Mach3 to come up. I assumed that the time was needed for bringing all the graphics into memory, but when I removed the files from the folder, the loading time was still 33 seconds. Must be something else happening. I have VB programs behind behind hundreds of buttons, 100s of DROs  and one script of 1000 lines.

Are there things I can do to speed things up? Which things are causing the biggest speed hits? Button programs, DROs or something else?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
