Random Missing of Fade times

[N.Webber]

Hi,

I have a show consisting of two pages of generic fixtures (dimmers) and another page of LEDs.
There are some 40 scenes in the Master page made up of the above pages, each with a specific fade time.
The scenes are arranged in a Cycle which is run by "Go" command.

Normally all is working properly, but occasionally with no apparent reason, some fade times are 'missed',
giving the effect of no (zero) fade time between scenes.

I wasn't able to duplicate this phenomenon as it happens in random, each time in a different scene.

Has anyone encountered such strange behavior? And maybe found a cure…

Thanks in advance,

N.Webber

Update...

I think the problem has been solved...

A friend of mine checked my laptop and found it was running slower than the declared speed.
This is a new Dell Vostro 860, suppose to run at 1.6 GHz but was originally set to only 1.2 GHz (to save on battery power...)

I have run the 'problematic' show for a few times since changing the processor speed to 1.6 GHz
and the skipping of fade times has not happened.

Hopefully this is the end of this issue...
