How many VI's can be run at a time on compact field point?

This depends mainly on the amout of resources you have available on your FieldPoint controller (Memory, etc.). Some heaps are used by the Real Time OS and other processes installed with this OS - I'm thinking about communication processes, polling the FieldPoint I/O modules, etc. The rest is available for your program (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/D630A70FCAE631BE86256CE9005A7DE5?OpenDocument ).

Use the Real Time System Manger to spy your FieldPoint RT system: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F4D776187EFCC30986256EFC007FC922?OpenDocument 
It can help you find out, how busy your system is.

Hope this helps, good luck for programming 🙂

Hi People!

   Thank you, Stephan, for your useful answers!

    Anyway, what you mean with "How many VIs"? Concurrent execution?

   It seems to me that NI strongly encourages the use of Timed Loops (which I find very useful!), and, if I'm not wrong, you can have a maximum of 128 Timed loop executing at the same time (right?).   I say this because I use, in my app, concurrent VIs for RT system, in which each VI is mainly a Timed Loop.

   greetings!
