Hi Dave, thanks for posting.

Can you tell use what the serial data progress bar is doing? It’s the top progress bar on the lower right of the serial control right below the connect button.

Does it appear to be growing in size while data is arriving?

Does your plotted data seem lagging in time any?

There’s a property in the serial control (maxBufferSize) that if you have a lot of data coming in you could increase.

The rate isn’t necessarily just the baud, but how fast (samples per second) you’re are sending to be processed. Depending on your interface, a single string of data may need time to be processed, though that normally shows in the processing queue filling (bottom progress bar).

Also, ensure your incoming strings end with a carriage return or new line (ascii 13 or 10) as that indicated the end of a string to be processed.

You can monitor incoming data using the Debug/CLI and checking boxes at the bottom.

I hope one of these suggestions helps you out? Please let us know, especially if they don’t help and you can provide us any more information.

Sincerely,
- Martin

Interesting. Was it minimized or just not have focus? Thank you.

I’ve not been able to reproduce the issue yet.

How long had MPJ been running? How fast is data coming in? I’ve tested 1Mbps with no delays.

Are you running much event code are logging data, snapshots, etc?

Any info I could use to reproduce the issue would be helpful. I’ve not noticed any changes when not focused, but it could be a RAM issue or drive swapping?

I’ll dig around the expert sites, see if there’s a history with Java doing this.

Appreciate it.
