I have a script that usually takes 1-2 minutes to run on my PC. I tried running it on a co-worker's PC, and the same script (with the same data) took MUCH longer. I noticed that on this new PC, the Data Portal is updating while the script is running. For example, I can see new channels being created, and in the channel-properties list, I can see them updating too. So, as each row is being filled with data, I see the channel's length, mininmum, maximum, etc. constantly updating. I have a feeling this is why it's so much slower.
On my PC, the screen doesn't update until the script is done. I know that in VBA (Excel), there is a ScreenUpdating command that can be set to False to freeze the screen until the macro is done. Is there a similar feature in DIAdem?
Also, the help has suggested that I uncheck "Refresh Data portal while a script is running" in Settings>>Options>>SCRIPT. But when I go to this menu, the box is already unchecked.
Lastly, I don't know if this is relevant, my PC has the basic version of 11.0 (I write my scirpts in Notepad), whereas my coworker has Professional (so I can view my code in SCRIPT, and debug it).
How can I get rid of this data portal updating?
