Cursor positions cause DIAdem VIEW to work slowly

[GT_Mark]

Hi All,

  I have a file that has approximately 180 pages in the VIEW portal, each with a chart.  When processing these charts I employ the Band Cursor to select ranges on each curve and then calculate values based on that range.  Then I move to the next sheet and do the same thing.

  After building lots of pages I notice things slow down significantly.  In the bottom left corner of the screen I see the following message "X-Cursor1: 0.153 Y-Cursor1: 1.63E+04 Z-Cursor1:0" and the values change many times before moving along with my request.  I am pretty sure the program is going through each sheet and reading the cursor positions.  This wastes a lot of time.

  Is there a way to 'turn off' the cursors or do something similar so that this doesn't happen every time I switch into the VIEW module?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Hi GT_Mark,

How are you doing those calculations on each sheet?  In your head?  Running a script by clicking with the mouse?  Running a script based on a VIEW cursor move event?

Can you send us the data file and TDV that reproduces this effect?

Hi Brad,

  Thank you for your feedback.  I've sent you an e-mail containing the relevant DIAdem contents and code.

  To answer some of the questions on here that I did not address specifically oin the e-mail:

     The calculations on each sheet are completed within the script.  Things seem to slow down when the script initiates interaction mode and then the user uses cursors to specify a range of data on a chart.  After clicking to end interaction mode the script continues working.

I hope that clears up some of the ambiguity of how the code is running.

Thanks in advance for your help!
