Animation speed

Post by dr21702 »

The protocol documentation for the animation file states it is plain text file with lines of milliseconds followed by filename. (Though the the example hexadecimal screen dump doesn't match the text below which has "2" before every filename).

I have a simple animation working with 2 images as follows:

1000 Fan1.png
1000 Fan2.png

However the animation timing doesn't coincide with milliseconds as using a value 1000 has the animated image changed every 20 seconds. Am or doing this right? Or is there a bug or documentation issue?

Hello,

Thank you for posting on the forum.
You are correct, a specified time of 1000 results to 20 second interval.
And you are right, unfortunately the manual is missing information that each interval is 20ms.

I wonder if you have used GTT Designer?

You can use the GTT2.5 protocol animation object, as an alternative.

Thank you,
