Re: Fat-finger problem in Spot Collector


 

+ AA6YQ comment sbelow
Once I got it going again, I started going through ALL the config settings in Spot Collector, one-by-one like a checklist.? I had a hit on the first one!? Apparently, some time in the past, I meant to set "Maximum Separation in Time) to 60, which is reasonable, but I found it set to 600!!!?
+ With that setting, each time a new spot arrived that was not a duplicate of a recently-received spot (e.g. from another cluster), SpotCollector was searching through the last 600 minutes (10 hours) of Spot Database Entries looking for an existing Spot Database Entry matching that new spot. If your Spot Database contains only an hour's worth of spots, this would have no adverse impact, but with a larger Spot Database, a lot of CPU time would be spent needlessly searching.

+ When you have a DXLab application working they way you want it, terminate it and direct the Launcher to save its settings to a Workspace. Then if you experience an unexpected change in the future, you can direct the Launcher to restore those setting to quickly recover from an inadvertent setting change.
