Nodes counter dialog

You can check the size and complexity of a specific object at runtime by using a
Nodes Counter Dialog
 provided by
FactoryTalk® Optix™
 in the
Library
 manager.
The
Nodes Counter Dialog
 is a diagnostic tool that can be used to count the number of nodes of a project portion. It is very useful when you want to understand why a specific page takes a long time to load or to understand if some elements require optimization.
TIP: No general node limit of notes per screen exists. You should monitor node count and assess complexity for your specific device.
  1. Go to
    Library
    Widgets
     and move the
    Nodes Counter Dialog
     to any subfolder of the UI node, in the
    Project view
     pane.
  2. In any page, add a
    Button
     and configure the
    Mouse Click Event
     to run
    UI Commands
     and
    OpenDialog
     method.
  3. Create a
    Create a DynamicLink
     from the
    Dialog
     parameter to the
    Create a DynamicLink
     type.
  4. Create a
    Create a DynamicLink
     from the
    AliasNode
     parameter to the element that you want to inspect at runtime.
  5. At Runtime, click the button to display the
    Nodes Counter Dialog
    , the nodes count will appear.
TIP: If the
AliasNode
 property of the button is linked to a
PanelLoader
 or
NavigationPanel
, the counter will automatically update every time a new page is loaded.
