pro/e time clock logging

[amedina]

Is there a way to log the wait time between actions when the clock window is
shown? We are trying to figure come up with a gauge of how much time is
wasted to waiting for the computer to do something.

regards,

Alfonso

Actually, I want to use the clock or some other Proe event to figure out how
much time people have to wait for something to load or a drawing to
refresh.... to be able to show that we can make an economical business
decision to upgrade some hardware.

Alfonso

You can run the OCUS benchmark and compare to hardware times listed on the website:

here is the perl program i wrote. it parses the trailfiles out put by proe.
Each time you open a part or assembly or drawing it will produce two lines
like this one:

!10-Mar-11 14:46:51 Start ilws://location/part.prt.1
!10-Mar-11 14:80:51 End ilws://location/part.prt.1

So I take the times and get the difference. This will show directly what the
benefits of WF2 to WF4 will be when opening stuff. Unfortunatelly OLEF's
program cannot handle just random trail files to compare. Its trailfile
sends a time stamp command every time it changes the stuff its testing. That
way the OCUS test can just show how long it took. I want to do the same
here, but I can't expect people to send out a time stamp even every time
they do something.
