[AG-TECH] APware running - always or just when needed

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

In an initial response to my query about APware hogging the CPU
(original Subject: was something like Display Machine Performance)
Gentner have got back to me with a comment as follows:

"One thing that concerns me is it sounds like APWare is being
used as a real time controller.  It was always designed as a
configuration help, not a real time controller that would be
up and running all the time."

I was wondering whether other AG sites typically have APware
running all the time or just fire it up when they need to
change configuration.  I have tended to leave it running so
that if I want to start a CD feed for audio line-up, or enable or
disable a mic on the operator's desk, I can.

I'd be interested in what others do.

Cheers

Chris
