Image control and Scene check does “taking screenshot” and “image matching calculation”. For faster process, try related settings below.
Taking screenshot
When a popup message of replay process is shown, FRep2 clears it before taking screenshot. Notification Settings – Notify Replay Process: Show On Finish or Do not notify will hide the popup messages*, i.e. taking screenshot do not wait the clearing the popup messages. Or, you can set empty labels for items, for which you do not want to show popup message, in your sequence.
For precision mode, you can choose the Screenshot Method. Screen API may take screenshot faster than others. Note that if the timing of taking screenshot is too early after switching the method, try Advanced setting – First Delay for Image control, or First Delay in Scene Check for Scene check.
Image control
The speed of Image control depends on the amount of calculation. Generally, Exact Match < Match Pixels Rate < Color Similarity; as for search method, Search(Exact) < Search(Similarity). However, the methods of Exact or Pixels Rate are not effective for recent devices or apps, because the subtle difference exists by the app’s drawing method or the device’s lighting configuration, even if you look the 2 images are same.
For faster matching calculation of Exact, Match Pixels Rate, and Color Similarity, set smaller matching area rectangle, and/or mask unnecessary area for distinguishing the images.
For faster matching calculation of Search(Exact), and Search(Similarity), set Search Area from the lower button of Search method, to filter the unnecessary area (where no possibility the searching image appears). Please be careful that the masking of source image not necessary reduce the amount of calculation, because the candidates of matching area basically increases (by the method of characteristic points) though the cost of each matching with the candidate decreases.
