RE: Very long startup time (5 min) + communication dropouts with OptixRuntime 1.6.1.5

I have the same issue when deploying to my live environment versus emulating on my local machine. I found for me that the difference is the database connection. If I keep the database storage around 10GB it might only takes 3-4 minutes to load, but at 30GB it takes 6 or 7. (For context, about 1 or 2 ...

San Antonio area. Over 100°F for several weeks usually... we really test the limits of those Optix panels!! I can't say we've had any issues with wildfire smoke, though.

RE: FTOptix Histogram Bar Color

If you want, you can control Rectangle nodes in a panel and change their positions/heights/colors and make a chart that way. Quick and dirty, but it also works. I did that for a while until the requested scope of the charts finally expended enough to require an eChart.

I recommend using a NetLogic script to generate an HTML file & JS file that displays a chart. Then just add a WebBrowser that points to the HTML file and refreshes when the chart changes. The sky is the limit at that point. Personally I really like the Apache eCharts library.

When launching the project, there should be a log that outputs that tells you the state of your entitlement. "Demo mode started" would mean it's running the 2-hour time limit mode.

RE: FT Optix - Export the Excel file to the Client computer

There is very likely a way to modify the code for .xlxs filetypes. I was considering xlxs generation, but I chose .csv because the formatting is a lot simpler (to me).

If you generate a JavaScript and HTML file correctly it is possible to do. I've been doing this method for a few years. The way I use this: someone clicks a "generate report" button, which calls Export2CSV. SQL2CSVNetLogic then generates the CSV and saves it in the correct format in an HTML & JS file, ...

RE: FT Optix iOS Web Browser Pinch and Zoom - Proxy Server Solution?

Do you have a 2nd machine you could put the runtime on to test the proxy with? This way your original server would have no impact while you test on the side. This looks like a very interesting project; I will be interested to know how it goes, if you try it out. Back sometime before I upgraded to 1.6.2.36, ...

RE: FT Optix: Slugginess issue with Historical Trend

So you have multiple Trends each with 20 Pens? So possibly several 100s of Pens? Are the pens decimal values, whole numbers, or something else? How are you showing and hiding the trends? Are you changing the Visible properties so one shows up instead of another or maybe they're being loaded ...

Hello Rahul, 2 questions: How often is the data logging, and how much are you attempting to display at once? I have some loggers that log a value every 30 seconds. I can see a few days just fine with no lag. But for some other values I log every 50 milliseconds, I can only see ...

RE: FT Optix Periodic Action Net Logic Bug

Interesting idea. My project takes 5-7 minutes to fully load. If I rebooted the project, I would not necessarily want to lose those 5-7 minutes of polling time (which are vital for MES and other things). But, it would be cool to have that as an option. Also, using the project loaded event is a pretty ...

As a sanity check, can you add this to your loop: Log.Info(tsTag.BrowseName); // or tTag.BrowseName whichever you have named it and verify you're seeing the names of the PLC tags? I only have up to 1.6.2.36 and my Rockwell account doesn't allow me to download any new ...

Hi Platten, First off thank you for the context, this makes it a lot easier to see what's going on. Try tsTag.Description.Text (or vTag.Description.Text) instead of tsModule.Description.Text. You're looping through each vTag and setting it to a tsTag but not looking at any of its properties ...

As far as I can see in your contribution history, you have never answered another person's question on Engage, or added something to someone else's post. Try doing this. I think it would give you a better understanding of what type of context you're missing from your posts. ------------------------ ...

Just to add to this... only put this record limit on tables in an embedded database, not ones using ODBC connection. I tried adding it to some tables using an ODBC connection and a warning popped up. After removing the limits, I still get the errors every time I boot up my project haha. It's been an ...

In general, if you copy-paste a "type", you should get a 2nd "type". I do this sometimes when I need to make a significant modification to a "type" that would be better off as a new, separate "type". If you copy-paste the instance of a "type", you should get a 2nd instance, not a 2nd "type". -- ...

I'd be interested to see what stbDateTime does. At first glance I wouldn't blame threading- but seeing the bigger picture how/where you're calling this could clarify that. -------------------------------------------

As you've found, .ToString() is subtly different from simply casting a variable to a string. You are probably looking for this (Assume TableName is a string variable in your NetLogic): Manually cast the Value to a string: string Table = (string) LogicObject.GetVariable("TableNam ...
