Efficient channel delete

[PRinOR]

Hi. I've noticed that deleting channels takes a lot of time to execute. The time it takes to delete channels seems to far exceed other tasks I am executing, so I'm wondering what the most efficient way to go about this is. I am dealing with large data sets, and deleting channels as I process is necessary so as to stay under the ~65k channel number limit.

ex from script:

dim odellist

Set odellist = Data.GetChannels("PartialMatrixZ_*")

Call ChnDelete(odellist)

This script deletes all channels that begin with "PartialMatrixZ". The number of channels to delete varies, but the channels I am trying to delete are always in a predictable order and named sequentially as they are a result of using matrix operations.

I am using DIAdem 12.0.

thanks for any insight or tips.

Hi PRinOR,

Unfortunately we don't yet have a solution for this problem. I added this request to the list of DIAdem extensions for further versions.

Hi Walter,

Thank you for the reply. I hope they fix the problem in future updates.

In the idea exchange, I put in a request for 64-bit version of DIAden which I think would also help when working with large data sets. Perhaps not the place to request that...but 64-bit software is going to be increasingly important, particularly for something like DIAdem. Even excel has a 64-bit version these days.
