Niagara Workbench Performance Tips
When you’re doing a lot of graphics in Workbench the application starts running slow and might even crash. However, there are some configuration changes you can make to increase performance and prevent the application closing intermittently.
Modify the system.properties file
Workbench uses a built in browser (javafx) to view html pages. Change this to use the JxBrowser instead. You can change which browser to use by modifying the system.properties files. The file is usually located at: C:\niagara\Niagara-x\defaults
Open the file with a text editor and add the following line at the end of the file:
niagara.jxbrowser.disable=false
Change Workbench Viewing Mode
If you’re running 4.3 or above, there should be a “toggle preview” button at the end of the toolbar when looking at a Px graphic. This will show you your Px page rendered in a browser.
