If the Remote appears to be running slowly

Then it is useful to look at the information on the Remote's Status bar:

 

RemoteStatusbar

 

The time is the time that the last updated value on the Local was updated, so this is the real data time lag. If this stops then there may be a network fault. The Tx and Rx show the data rate in kb (kilobytes) going across the connection. The Q shows the size of queue of data trying to be sent to the Local. If the queue size increases to above 20 then there may be a problem with sending data to the Local.

The Local's Status bar shows the same information as above, but for the total of communication with all Remotes.

From the Local to see information about individual connections use the View Connected Users menu command on the Remotes menu:

 

RemoteUsers

 

The columns show:

The User ID.

The version of SpecView running on the Remote.

Date & time the connection was made.

The Queue sizes column shows:

Rx0.00kb Tx0.25kb = Receive & Transmit data rates (kb/sec)

HQ0 MQ0 LQ0 = High, Medium & Low queue sizes

HS0 MS0 LS0 = High, Medium & Low packet sizes

NOTE: that the name of the computer and  port number are displayed in the title bar of this dialog. This can be used to check that these are correctly set on the Remote if there is difficulty making a connection.
