Use the Processes tab in Task manager to view CPU, memory, disk, etc. performance individually. I have a PC that should be quick according to the processor, but the disk performance is awful.ashesman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 6:45 pm
I'm interested in why this file only takes 4s to open on your machine. It takes about two seconds to open on my laptop running the mill demo. Not sure why it takes so long on the machine. The PC on the machine is higher spec than my laptop. If it took 4s on the machine I probably wouldnt be complaining. But 28s!

Re: Stop graph drawing each time I run a program
So, I did some more testing today. I copied the Mill Demo folder off my laptop, took it down to the machine and ran Mill Demo on the machine. Of course it is still a demo running offline from the controller. I opened my test file and it took 1.5s to draw (once only). I would be pretty happy if my actually CNC12 install did that instead of 15s!
To be clear, I am talking about the drawing that happens when you press cycle start, not when you go to the graph screen.
I then kept Task Manager open while waiting for CNC12 to draw. There was no evidence of limiting disk speed. One CPU was partly maxed out as would be expected, but otherwise everything stayed stable. I can infer from this that CNC12 draws the gcode from memory, not from disc.
Here is a video of the file loading showing performance https://youtu.be/NYQDen6DvPo
This is a picture of the PC specs. So, is something wrong here or is this as good as it gets? Why does mill demo draw the file so fast compared to my CNC 12 install?

Re: Stop graph drawing each time I run a program
we found a way to make the RTG graph speed match the regular graph speed and eliminate the double RTG graphing. This improvement will be in the next no cost beta release of CNC12.

Woo hoo, awesome, thanks... Looking forward to it. Let me know if you want me to test it...

Re: Stop graph drawing each time I run a program
I think this customer has an OAK system - so he should not update to ACORN 4.64 - latest version for OAK is 4.20 correct?
Dont want him to have more problems because of wrong software

Re: Stop graph drawing each time I run a program
yep, Acorn software (v.464) is for Acorn and Oak software (v4.20) is for Oak. Both the next betas for both Oak and Acorn will have this Graphics improvement! thanks.
