Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

from a different setup I got a monolithic .opi-File for the control of a HV crate.

(see ISEG_HV_monolithic.tar.gz)

For a better maintenance I rewrote it and split it up into single opi Files which are then included by linking container widgets and configuring them using macros.

By this

“RICH_HV_2016.opi” includes

1 time “HV_16x10.opi” which itself links

10 times “HV_16ch_set.opi ” which again itself links

17 times “HV_Channel.opi“.

(see ISEG_HV_modular.tar.gz)

 

Simply comparing the file sizes and the lines of code I came down from 4.5 MB and ~115.000 lines down to 152kB and ~4300 lines.

 

But,

comparing the startup times (just counting the seconds) I see a difference of a factor of ~5, where the monolithic opi just took 1-2 seconds to come up.

Also the connection time to the see the variables slowed significantly down.

 

Is this a bad strategy / ansatz?

In general how to determine the performance more objectively?

Any comments welcome.

 

Best regards,

Peter
