Opening a Batch Control Screen may take very long if many recipes exist

Summary

When opening a Batch Control screen, properties of existing recipes are loaded in order to display this information in the list. Depending on the number of existing recipes and configuration of the screen switch function this may take a while as the information has to be read from the harddisc. 

Description

When opening a Batch Control screen, properties of existing recipes are loaded in order to display this information in the list. Depending on the number of existing recipes and configuration of the screen switch function this may take a while as the information has to be read from the harddisc. 

Solution

The loading time could be reduced by improving the way in which the required information is read and loading all the information into memory on RT startup. As all the required data is already in memory when opening the screen thereĀ“s no need to read it from the harddisc. Therefor opening a Batch Control screen is now much faster. 

Information

Be aware that if you open the screen directly after RT startup (before the information was read), you will still recognize the dalay.
