File size above 2 GB, is that possible in LabVIEW.

[Allan]

I want to stream data to disk for a long period, in the format waveform data
type - my problem is that the data files tends to reach the limit of 2 GB.

Is it possible to make files in LabVIEW greater than 2 GB ?

My OS is Windows XP and the disk is NTFS formatted.

I really appreciate your help on this one!

If you do the writing of files yourself, e.g. using the Write File node,
then you can go to www.openg.org and checkout the OpenG Toolkit. There
should be a link from
http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=OpenG+Toolkit to the
sourceforge page where you can download the entire Toolkit or portions
thereof. You are interested in the Large File IO libarary which access
the Win32 API to handle files bigger than 2GB.

It would seem the answer is no.
