Advice


The following points can aid in mitigating UCI load issues on TSC Series hardware:

  • Replace any G2 video preview windows on the UCI with the Media Display.
  • Reduce the overall number of control elements in a UCI.
  • Avoid excessive image file scaling. Match the resolution as they would be shown on the touch panel.
  • Set a UCI’s Swipe Disable to Yes and Enable Button Swipe to No.
  • Avoid UCI layer transitions.
  • Reduce the number of active VU meters.
  • Avoid using VU Meters using the Segmented Meter Type.
  • Ensure that your CSS is completely clean. Run it through a CSS validator.
  • Ensure there are not any non-QSYS-supported CSS properties in the file.
  • Linking multiple styles using ‘@import’ can slow TSC processing.
  • CSS references images a single time vs dragging in an image creates a duplicate each time it's used.
  • Limit the use of large file size plugins as much as possible as they are additive.
  • Use SVG images vs JPG/PNG.
  • Use CSS icons in place of images.
