Tips and Tricks for CMU Programming

The following section is intended to give hints for efficient programming and to point out frequent mistakes that may impair the system performance.

1. Avoid Frequent DLL Swapping

Many CMU function groups use the same commands enabling program parts to be reused in different contexts. As a consequence, commands may be repeated several times within a program that addresses several function groups. The CMU is designed for multi-mode operation, however, changing from one function group to another generally absorbs system capacity for loading new software modules. It is therefore advisable to group the commands so that the number of function group swaps is minimized.
