Tuning Your Scripting Performance

You can adjust a setting in the FixUserPreferences.ini file to fine tune your script's performance. In the [Scripting] section of the FixUserPreferences.ini, which is located in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX\Local directory, the ScriptIdleTimeProcessingDelayCount is set to -1, by default. At this default setting, your script performance will take precedence over your graphic's performance. You can change this setting to 0 or 1 to improve the performance of your graphics.

One strategy you may want to use is to maintain the setting at -1 for faster processing of scripts on your SCADA node, and to change the setting to 0 or 1 for faster loading of your graphics on your View nodes.

NOTE: Do not change the setting to a number larger than 1. A larger number will not improve your performance.
