HMI Speed

When creating an HMI that contains controls that are on the server (TcHMIEcDiagnostics, TcHMIEventLogger, etc) the HMI becomes laggy and loads up contents at a much slower rate than normal. There are a few ways to fix this.

  1. Under the projects properties - Deployment - Interval

2. Under each content properties - change 'Preload' to TRUE.

Enabling this loads and compiles the pages during initialization significantly speeds up page navigation.
