Panel Timer refresh rate settings
Timer refresh rate defines how often the Pg4uwMC program will request status information
from running Programmer Sites. Status information means current device operation type,
progress, result and so on. Current status information is displayed in main window of
Pg4uwMC. The default timer refresh rate value is 200ms. If you wish faster refresh of status
information displayed in Operation panel of Pg4uwMC, select shorter refresh interval. If you
notice the system performance slow down, when using faster refresh, select higher refresh
value to make refresh less often. On the Pentium 4 computers there is almost no
performance penalty depending on timer refresh rate but on slower computers it is sometimes
useful to select longer (less often) timer interval.
Panel Log file settings are used to set mode of using Log file report
Log file is text file containing information about Pg4uwMC control program operation flow,
which means information about loading project files, device operation types and device
operation results. Multiprogramming system generates few of Log files. One main Log file of
program Pg4uwMC and Log files for each of running Programmer Sites. Each Site has its
own one Log file. The name of Site's Log file has the same prefix as the name of Log file
specified in edit box Log file. The file name prefix is followed by the number of Site in the form
of _#<Snum>.
Example:
The Log file name specified by user is: "report.log". Then names of Log files will be:
- Pg4uwMC main Log file name - "report.log"
- Site's #1 Log file name - "report_#1.log"
- Site's #2 Log file name - "report_#2.log"
- Site's #3 Log file name - "report_#3.log"
and so on...
Following options can be set for Log file creation
option Append Log file sets usage of Log file on. Log file will be created after the first
restart of Pg4uwMC. For all other next starts of Pg4uwMC, the existing Log file will be
preserved and new data will be appended to the existing Log file.
option Rewrite Log file sets usage of Log file on. Log file will be created after the first
restart of Pg4uwMC. For all other next starts of Pg4uwMC, the existing Log file will be
rewritten and new Log file will be created. Data from previous Log file will be deleted.
