In this area, you can define the priority of the simulator process.
It may be necessary to assign a high priority to the simulator because the cycle times of the individual user tasks can deviate greatly if there is a heavy load on the PC. These deviations are directly caused by the Windows operating system and can reach 100 ms with Normal priority. In most cases, the watchdog timer is also affected. In this case, setting the simulator priority higher can prevent the watchdog from being triggered.
In this priority, user task cycle times only deviate by a few milliseconds.
NOTE: This priority should be used with care because the simulator has the highest possible priority in this case and interrupts the Windows system. If you use this priority with a very small sleep time and a cyclic user task, the PC may cease proper operation.
In this priority, user task cycle times normally do not deviate by more than 10 ms.
In this priority, user task cycle times can deviate up to several 100 ms.
This priority quickly causes the watchdog to be triggered and should only be used on a PC with nearly no load.
If you press this command button, settings in this area are applied and used immediately.
