Configuring RT-TCP/IP Stack Performance

You can configure the processor and priority of the RT-TCP/IP Stack Timer System timer thread from the Configure RT-TCP/IP Stack Performance control panel page. See below for complete descriptions of the available settings. For more information on RT-TCP/IP architecture, see RT-TCP/IP Stack Architecture.

ClosedAccessing the RT-TCP/IP Stack Performance options

The method you use to access these control panel options will depend on the operating system you are running.

To open the control panel in Windows 8.1:

  1. From the Windows Apps menu, navigate to the RTX64 2014 Runtime section and click the Control Panel tile.
  2. Click Configure the RT-TCP/IP Stack > Configure RT-TCP/IP Stack Performance.

To open the control panel in Windows 7:

  1. Click the Start menu and then choose Control Panel.
  2. In the Windows control panel, select the Network and Internet category, and then click RTX64.
  3. Click Configure the RT-TCP/IP Stack > Configure RT-TCP/IP Stack Performance.

Changing the RT-TCP/IP Stack Ideal Processor

NOTE: Processor numbers are zero based. By default, the first RTSS processor is the ideal processor.

To change the RT-TCP/IP Stack ideal processor:

  1. Under Change the ideal processor the RT-TCP/IP Stack runs on, do one of the following:
  • Select the Use Default Ideal Processor check box to use the default.
  • Clear the Use Default Ideal Processor check box, and then choose a processor value from the drop-down menu.
  1. Restart the RT-TCP/IP Stack for your changes to take effect. If you plan to make additional changes that require a restart of the Stack, make all of the changes first and then restart the Stack when you are finished.

To change the Timer System ideal processor:

  1. Under Change the ideal processor the Timer System runs on, do one of the following:
  1. Restart the RT-TCP/IP Stack for your changes to take effect. If you plan to make additional changes that require a restart of the Stack, make all of the changes first and then restart the Stack when you are finished.

 

Changing the Priority of the Timer System

To change the priority of the Timer System:

  1. Enter a value for the Timer System priority.

NOTE: Timer System priority must be in the range 1-127, where 1 is the lowest priority and 127 is the highest priority. The default priority is 66.

  1. Restart the RT-TCP/IP Stack for your changes to take effect. If you plan to make additional changes that require a restart of the Stack, make all of the changes first and then restart the Stack when you are finished.
