selective recorder

Post by Marco Faggella 2 »

hi all

is there a way yet to save time and memory with recorder selecting just fewer committed states than in the time history?
say
GM TH steps @ 0.005sec
Recorder steps @ 0.01

thanks

yes, i think you can set a recorder time-step. search the board, or ask Frank.

use the undocumented -dT timeIncrement? option on Node, EnvelopeNode, Element and EnvelopeElement recorders. place it anywhere but the end, after the -time option would be good.
