Not enough memory to complete this remote panel operation

I am developing my application in cFP 2000. I am using remote panel to view and operate the application. I am able to view the front panel from a host PC on the network for the first time through Internet Explorer (IE6). If I close the IE and then try to access the remote front panel, I get the error "Not enough memory to complete this remote panel operation" What could be the reason for this error. Please help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the memory of the cFP2000 is quit limitid. Check the free memory size of the RT target in LV. (Operate/RTengine info..)

I agree with Jonas suggestion re: RT Engine Info.

I beileve use need the following line in your LabVIEW.INI file to get that option.

targetmeminfo=true

I threw together a VI that tracks memory usange vs time VI that has preved quire helpful. I will attach this Vi along with a llb that I pulled down of this site somewhere. They have some supprt VI that are required.

What I suggest you do is fire this VI up and watch how your memory behaves. What you will see (hopefully) is memory useage that converges on some constant level. When you open FP via LV-RT or the web served FP's, there will be spikes in memory usage. When these remote FP are closed, the memory usage will drop-off.

If the memory usage keeps climbing, you have a problem!

NOW LE
T ME STOP and acknowledge that you may have some difficulty in trying to use the Get RT Engine info or using my utility if you really are out of memory. Let me suggest that you start by opening and running my utility first. If your code will not run and load with my utility running, don't give up! Try targeting the application and building the VI on the cFP 2000 and setting it to auto-boot. I have found that the compiled vesrions use a much smaller foot print than the development versions. Start your app by ressetting it and then target the cFP unit. You then load and start the utility I attached.

I have successfully deplyed app's that would only run as built app's on the cFP's. The cFP is very good at making you very aware of how you are using memory. THey are just a little tricky to work with. They make you appreciate the luxury of working with the cFP 2020's.

Post your code, and I'll take a look if you like.

Thanks for your suggestion. It was a useful utility. I used it to
study the memory of the cFP RT.

Can I reboot the cFP 2000 programatically in Safe Mode?
We have a VI to reboot the cFP controller. Shall we give the mode of
the reboot (safe mode / normal mode).

Thanks in advance for your help.
