Hi,
in this thread “VM116–>K8062d.dll freezing issue” it is noted that there is a problem with the K8062 becoming unresponsive and requiring a restart (unplugging, and re-pluggin the DMX cables for example) “when using the StartDevice and StopDevice repeatedly.”
Do we have a more formal dexription of what constitutes “repeatedly”? Is it (as I suspect) a problem of interleaving concurrent start and stops, or is there a maximum number of start and stops a second, or some other limit? On a similar note is there a problem with starting the device and never stopping it?
I ask as I am controlling the device from a web application that will be running 24hrs a day 7 days a week, this application will go through periods of heavy usage of the device and periods of realtively low usage. If there is no problem with starting the device and never stopping it then I’ll just start the device when the webapp gets loaded and never bother stopping it. If this is not acceptable then I need to implement some sort of limiting on the device interface to prevent many webapp users from spaming the controls and potentially causing the device to become unresponsive as described in the thread above. I would need to know the actual limits though in order to code this limiting function correctly.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Simon.
