Checking performance of reference to controls

[Marce]

Hello,

I'd appreciate if somebody can look at the attached Vi and tell me if the bench mark is right. I'm checking what method is better to use when I change the value and when I change a property of a series of controls in the FP.

Apparently, the use of References for changing the values is a very slow one.

Thank you for any comment or suggestion.

You are loosing most performance during the property node read/write...but...once you have done this...you loose little more by accessing the "value" property while you are there. So, if you need to access the property node for a property...go ahead and use the value property while you are there...otherwise there are faster ways. (Local Var/Wire)

Thanks for the response.

I guess I'll have to rewrite part of one of my systems where I set the controls properties - visible, disable, blinking - within while loops, based on parameters that come from the network. Most of the time the parameters don't change but I assume that I waste the UI thread time anyway.

Thanks again,

Marce
