HMI CimView Counters

HMI CimView counters provide you with the capability to review the performance of CimView during any single session. A CimView session begins when the first CimView screen is opened and ends when the last open CimView screen is closed. A session can include CimView, and Terminal Services access.

Accumulated totals since a CimView session started

For	Counter	Counts the Number of:
E	BitBlts	Cumulative number of BitBlockTransfers for a CimView session.
N	Object Redraws	Cumulative number of times objects are redrawn from the start of a CimView session. For example, each object on a screen is included in the total when the screen opens; animated objects are counted each time they are redrawn.
A	Events	Cumulative number of events that have been fired from the start of a CimView session.

Indicators of current CimView performance

For	Counter	Displays the
E	BitBlts/sec	Current rate (per second) at which the BitBlockTransfers occur during a CimView session.
N	Object Redraws/sec	Current rate (per second) that objects are being redrawn in a CimView session.
N	Open Screens	The number of open CimView screens.
A	Event Queue Length	Current number of events waiting to be fired.
A	Events per sec	Current rate (per second) that events are fired in a CimView session.

Other CimView session indicators

For	Counter	Displays the
N	Maximum Cache Size	The maximum cache size available during a CimView session. CimView, Terminal Services and WebView have individual sizes. A system administrator can change any of the cache sizes for future CimView sessions using CIMPLICITY global parameters. The global parameters are: GSM_CACHE_SIZE (CimView) GSM_TERMSERV_CAHE_SIZE(Terminal Services PROWLER_CACHE_SIZE(WebView)
N	Process ID	The process number that Windows assigns CimView when a session starts. This number remains constant during a single CimView session. When the session ends and a new session begins, a new number is assigned.
