Time problem while using ABB.Robotics DLL

Stephan

Hi everybody



I'm trying to write an application which uses the ABB.Robotics and ABB.Robotics.Controllers DLL's. But I have a huge time delay when the program is loading these two DLL's. Here's my sample and the correspondig output:



static void Main()

{

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ": start program");

            

Application.EnableVisualStyles();

Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

Application.Run(new Form1());

}



public Form1()

{            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ": initalize");

            

InitializeComponent();

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ": start");

NetworkScanner scanner = new NetworkScanner();

        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ": before ccan");

scanner.Scan();

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() + ": after scan");

}





11:36:44: start program

'IRC_Test.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_MSILABB.Robotics5.13.1034.0__1da709b7d1f14b7bABB.Robotics.dll', No symbols loaded.

11:37:44: before ccan

11:37:45: after scan



If you look at the time stamps of the writings, you can sse two huge time steps (30 s and 30s again).



Can anybody tell me, why it takes about 60 seconds just to load the DLL's and run the scanner?



Thanks in advance

Looks like a problem in your end.
I just ran your program and got the following output:
11:00:07: initalize
11:00:07: start
11:00:08: before ccan
11:00:08: after scan

I am on XP fully updated, RS 5.13.xx (latest)

Have you by any chance updated your RS environment without uninstalling, or only updated RS and not PC SDK ( sorry, can't remember the appropriate names ) I am asking since I had some problems half a year ago, and that to uninstall everything and then install the latest version only.

Anything tricky in your pc log?
Are you running as a user or as administrator?
Any antivirus running?

Thank for your inputs.



I indeed have Robot Application Builder 5.12.03 installed (RobotWare 5.13.1034). But is RAB 5.13 available? On the product page (http://www.abb.com/product/seitp327/4a08adf3b8bd7976c12570fc00348b3f.aspx) I can only see 5.12.04 for download.
