Interpreting progress bar / status bar

Am 23.09.2011 10:16, schrieb Warren Brayshaw:

I added a line in the BRD: section of eagle.scr to run a ULP when a board

loads. The ULP does run.

 

Referring to the attached image. The ULP 'statistic-brd has run to the

dialog displaying the results but you can see the board below shows an

incomplete progress bar and a 40% figure.

 

Closing the ULP dialog quickly clears the 40% indication

 

What I would like to know what the 40% is referring to so that I can be

assurred the ULP is working with all the board data.

 

If the board is fully loaded/displayed, as it appears to be, then this may

be simply a delay in updating the status and could be fixed.(v5.11.1)

 

Thanks

I just tried this and did not get the progress bar at all. How

long does it take until the statistics are shown after starting the

ULP?

 

Adding a label to the dialog and using timems()

it displays between 571 and 710 milliseconds.

There is no progress bar if the ULP is run from the board editor.

This is only noticed when running from eagle.scr

I launch by selecting one of the sch/brd pair in control panel.

What you observe depends on which of the pair you use to load the pair.

Starting with the brd I can observe the 40% while the statistics are

displayed. When I quit that statistics display I can see the flash of a % in

the sch.

While testing this just now I manged to have statistics-brd.ulp run without

any board or schematic getting displayed. That's the first time I have seen

that but earlier today I got various results when trying to have ulps run

for both schem and board as a schem /brd pair loaded indicating that race

conditoins are at play.

I have also just had the statistics being displayed.before the board was

displayed. The schem was already open in this case.

Try running a script that generates an error as follows

I tried euro.scr placed in the BRD: section of eagle.scr

From the control panel double click the SCH of a BRD/SCH pair

The script errors as the SCH is displayed and script wants to draw wires

into the BRD.about 12 times

Watch the board details in the task bar as you acknowledge the errors, They

count up which suggests the figures represent % done of the script.

I see 30% 38% 44% 49% 58% 70% 75% 80% 89% 100%

Running the ULP from a scrip file.... That's the difference. The

percentage belongs to the script file that is executed and starts

the ULP. So i think that 40% of the script are done when the ULP

starts. Quit the ULP and the percentage will increase until the

script is finished.
