Re: TS4 I/O buffer buildup

["Jim Erven" <ervenj@xxxxxxxx>]

Bob  Scott/  Bill Wyne,
Checked and yes I have that save every 10 mins turned off.
Bill Wyne suggests upgrading the serial port to a dedicated serial card with
higher speed and bigger buffer.

Now the BMI satelite box is operating at 38400 baud & my server the same. I
presume my P3B-F serial ports are 16,500 UARTS, don't know how much buffer
there.

So what are we saying here, a higher speed serail post with more buffer
might help, definitely
solve this, or try it and see(lol)?

Kinda frustrating sorting this all out, thot the P3-850 CPU wud do the
trick. I am only collecting the e-mini, naz mini, and 12 indexes, no stocks.
But guess the serial port still has to read the whole data stream  to strip
out my symbols, then chart them with all the studies.

Any further comments appreciated, before I take the axe to this thingy, lol
