Cyclone with RTC360

Post by stuartbuckett »

Hey there

So i have the Shiny new RTC360 and Cyclone 9.3.1

And i have a huge problem, Cyclone develops a bug around 100 scans per registration where it slows down to snail pace.....
Before you ask yes i have a good Computer (7700K, GTX 1070, 64GB ram, SSD etc)

Ive never had this problem with P Series Scanners as i usually have IMP databases of over 1000 scans (1TB Plus)

The issue is mainly apparent when i got to add Scans to my registration via Visual Align, 75% of all my scans are target based registered and they come together no issue (300 scans registered in 30 mins) but when i start to add in the additional C2C scans it take upwards of 15 minuets per scan....

Any ideas and anyone else having this issue?

As a 10 year user of Cyclone and Leica scanners this has me stumped.....
And i need a solution fast as our typical project is 1000 scans and up... i have one project coming up with an estimated 8000 scans

I have seen the same issue with visual alignment if you have a reg with either lots of scans or lots of constraints after verifying the VA Cyclone takes an age to bring up the VA page. Like its flicking through each scan or each constraint.

As a work-around I suppose you can find the point at which things slow down, create multiple registration up to that number that can be easily merged and then make a new registration by importing others in?

Have you tried registering the data in REG 360?

The New firmware for the RTC seems to fix the issues i was experiencing with the scanner and the new version of cyclone fixes the exporting color issue.
Still massive issues with cyclone being unreliable when working on large size database's ie anything above 100 scans.

For general prominence on work stations with an SSD hard drive.
Change the "page file size". Set it up to you physical memory size.
You can also put the page file on a serrate SSD to limit read/ write latency. Even better on separate BUS, like your OS one an M.2 and the page file on Sata III.

This might help with getting your remaining 100+ scan job registered.

Personally I have found that setting the page file manually can lead to problems at some point. Much better to let the system manage the size. Just make sure you have a large drive with never less than 25 to 50% free. Keep on top of drive maintenance, such a defraging on regular basis and you should be fine.
If you don't see that there is nothing, then you are kidding yourself.

Be careful defraging an SSD. The conventional wisdom is it dose not need to be done and even defarg utilities supporting SSD don't do much.

One of the few articles I have found that did actual testing. Stated it is best to let the SDD garbage collection routine take care of it.
