Sequence run VERY slow with SeqEdit.exe

[Rafi2003]

Hi, My application sequence began to work very very slow while running under SeqEditor

Looking in the Windows Task Manager, it shows 50% constantly!!

Even steps like 'Lable' takes a longs time to execute.

Under Operator Interface it works just fine.

I have loaded some example sequence files from TestSTand/Example directory and they run just fine.

It seems that the problem is only with this specific file.

I can not use the SeqEditor as it is....PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

Rafi,

what about the defaul User Interfaces? Is the execution there as slow as in SeqEdit?

Can you post your SequenceFile(s) which show the behaviour?

Sequence run fine with Operating Interface (as I pointed out in the first message).

Attached is the sequence file.

Thanks

HI,

Further investigation showed that if I change the sequence file name, the problem goes away.

Does that give any clue?

Thanks

What version of TestStand are you using?  Are you using Watch Expressions?  If you delete the watch expressions when the problem is seen, does it go away?

Watch expressions can be a big factor as Allen suggested. Regular breakpoints do not have any overhead; however conditional breakpoints do, so check to see if you have any conditional breakpoints defined.
