Greetings all; Laying awake thinking about this lathe, and its hal configuration, it seems like it would be at least as handy as sliced bread, to have a utility that could collect all the processing delays and sort them according to the addf order, giving a database of total delays so that one could more easily see where a signal processing step was out of order, causing a 1 or more total thread processing delay in a given signals path thru all the modules.
Rockhopper can give a graphic that can display the path and carefull analisis of that artwork can be informative, but it doesn't really show where the signal delays are. Obtaining a copy from rockhopper, poster-izing it to an 8 to 12 sheets of paper format, and printing it out, cutting it up because your printer has borders, then taping it up to make up a chart that might occupy half a sheet of 1/8" paneling is an all day job by the time its been made into usable data. A huge, where do I store it in a crowded shop result that might be completely in error 5 minutes later after the first "fix" has been applied to the addf order. We need something that can give us a text list in just a minute or so. Ideally it would give us a list of module delays, sorted by addf order in one column, and a second column of all the delays that signal encounters from the hal read operation, collecting the machines instant status, doing all the additional time to the final hal write back to the interface, in a format that would show the extra delay in that signals path caused by out of order module execution. Do we have such a utility to do this and I've just not become aware of it? Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
