Title: SmartMacro Memory Requirements and execution time?
Post by: mike on November 12, 2004, 02:34:03 PM

Can anyone running SmartMacros comment on
how much cm15a memory they use and how
quickly they run? I expect them to consume
more memory since more conditions (time
and/or state)have to be stored. I also
expect them to run slower since the cm15a
has to do time and/or state comparisons. I
just wondering how much more memory and how
much slower.

Even general impressions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I have created four macros of varying
complexity; some with timers some without.
They are collectively using 7 percent of the
memory available.

Run time is not going to be noticable.  It's
a device that can perform one operation at a
time.  My macros that have two lights to turn
on without delay, make the first turn on and
then the second.  I'm quite willing to bet
that a conditional branch between the two is
not going to make any difference (that I'm
able to measure) whatsoever due to the speed
at which the processor operates.
