Memory debugging in PDA (Pocket PC)

[lars erik]

My PDA (PocketPC) is unable to allocate memory. How do I debug this ? Application run OK in LabWIEW for Windows.
Hierarchy is 5 levels. Is that to much? VI count is only 15. .exe file is about 500kB.

How can I find out memory usage on my application ?

Are there any general tips or technics on memory usage on PDA ?

Hello Lars,

To manage memory, you can go to Start >> Settings on your PDA. Then, go to the "System" tab, and select "Memory". Click on "Running Programs" and make sure that no extra programs are running and eating up memory. You might also want to modify the memory settings to temporarily change the allocation between storage and program memory. As long as you have 500 kB of memory available in storage, you should be fine. You might also try monitoring your memory usage when running the VI on the host computer. If you have a memory leak somewhere, it might not be apparent on the host machine, but it would really affect the limited memory on the PDA.

The size of your file sounds fine. Make sure that you are developing with the correct target for execution.
To make sure, go to Operate >> Switch Execution Target, and make sure that "PocketPC 2002 (Default Device)" is selected.

I hope this helps!
