Dumping of physical memory = 2 big blue screens!!!

[perroudt]

Hi, I have the following configuration: a PCI-6602 timer/counter card, Labview 6.0.2, Ni-DAQ 6.9.1, Windows 2000, 512MB RAM, dual AMD Athlon 1.6GHz.
I have a function generator at 100kHz connected to the gate of counters 1&2 and the output of counter 0 generates a pulse train (20MHz) on the source of counters 1&2. If I take a measurement for 2sec, I have the following message on my two blue screens (dual display graphic card ATI radeon VE):
------------------------------------------------
*** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xB753C086)
*** Address 13753C086 base at 1374E4000, DateStamp 3aed7b03 - Nidaq32k.sys
Beginning dump of physical memory
-------------------------------------------------

Crash
HELP, please....

Well actually I know what is the problem now. It seems that when I use "buffer config" VI, the "counts per buffer" has to be way bigger than the size of the array of the "read buffer" VI. Is it possible to go higher than 10 000 000 for "counts per buffer".

Hello;

If you are configuring the counters as buffered counting operation, you need to set up the number of counts per buffer at least 10 times bigger than the counts to read at the Read Buffer.vi. The size of the counts per buffer parameter will pretty much depend upon the RAM size of your machine and OS. If you are not using Windows NT, I think you should be ok on setting the buffer size of that big.
Hope this helps.
