ENHANCED: Improved and Safer Shutdown

Explanation

    • CNC Bender software saves its current state and setup in a configuration files and registry entries software during shutdown.
    • If the standard shutdown procedure is bypassed due to a loss of power or a system crash, then CNC Bender, in previous versions, may attempt to write a file - only to be interrupted in the shutdown task.
    • The result is a possible corruption of this file.

Solution To Issue

    This version solves the problem by placing an intentional delay between the time the operator requests a shutdown and the time the configuration data is written to disk and registry.

    The delay message looks like this. It contains a progress bar that fills over about a 10 second period.

    During a Regular Shutdown

    1. The operator requests shutdown of software.
    2. CNC Bender hides the interface.
    3. CNC Bender displays a shutdown message on the screen showing a progress bar.
    4. After the progress bar is filled, CNC Bender saves its configuration data.



    During a Immediate Power Loss Shutdown

    1. A loss of power to the operator station occurs.
    2. CNC Bender is not given time to perform a normal shutdown because the delay progress will not be filled.
    3. CNC Bender will shutdown before it attempts to save a partial file and potentially corrupts the configuration data.
