Strange behaviour when moving mouse

Hi

I have a strange problem with speed.

This is my setup:

PC: HP ProDesk 600 G2 SFF
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit
LV: 2015 32bit
PXI: NI PXIe-1065
MXI: NI PXIe-PCIe8381

I run a home build sequencer and Cascon Boundary Scan HW and SW (BS).
When I run a BS test and showing Cascon progress window the test i very slow. I run a RAM test and it takes ~37 sec.
If I move the mouse in the app window during the RAM test it only takes ~12 sec!

If I don't show the Cascon progress window during test, the test take ~6 sec.
I have two other PC's. 

One running Win10/LV2015 where I see same behaviour.

One runing XP where I don't see this behaviour.
Fast startup is unchecked!

Cascon SW version is the same on all PC's

XP PC is running LV8.2

What is it with Win 8.1/10 compared to XP?

Hope for some help.
Thanks in advance.

Best guess is that somehow your graphics refresh rate is tied to your testing speed.  Waving your mouse around makes it update faster for some reason, so it goes faster.  Hiding the window altogether makes it disregard the graphics update completely.

 

If this is code you wrote yourself, see if there's any "value" property nodes that you can replace with local variables; that's the most common culprit.

Hi

Thanks

I found out that Göpel has made some new VI to support there SW(dll). I will try them to see if it solve the problem for WIN8 and 10.

Meanwhile I'll not open the progress windows during test to gain speed.

 

regards Bjarne
