In other words when i move the MEAS parameter its take about 63 seconds to update PNT parameter, ussing any I/O block If somebody knows why this is happening, please replay to me as soon as possible. Thanks!!!! We had a similar problem with I/A 6.1 on a Sun platform, so I don't know if the solution will apply, but we found that having AIN blocks with filtering turned on, but with the filter time set to 0.0 was causing a similar slowdown. The answer was to either turn off filtering altogether (on a block by block basis), or to give a non-zero filter time to blocks with filtering turned on. Tim - I agree with the others on using an OSV of 10-15%. This is especially true on level control loops.
