system low on virtual memory

[Ben]

I will not argue with good programming techniques and style.

I agree!

But...

She said it worked OK when run as "scaled down",
and,
only has 128Meg of memory.

Hi, thanks for all the good advices. I can't preallocate the array because I don't know how many items will be in the array. It's based on what the user input, base on how many temperature and voltages they want to run the test over. I pull up task manager and the CPU usage when I ran 1/3 of the input file and it is 100% most of the time, memory usage is 270096K, physical memory is 129252 K and I have 16340K left. Is there a way that I can dump this data to a temporary text file, to a physical memory, then read it back in the end? In visual basics, Java, and C, there is a routine that you can write to the hard drive, and then read it back in the end. Is there something like that in LabView? I have looked at my code and it's
as most efficient as I can make it. If you run the VI server to call subVI A, and if there are some subVI's in subVI A that you don't use, is it a better idea to remove the subVI's inside of subVI A. The reason that I am asking this is because I don't want to remove the excel and html subVI inside of subVI A, just in case the user want to just run subVI A directly by itself, and not go through the main VI interface. Thanks again.

Hi Ann,

I think it is time for you to post some new questions!

First, 512 Meg of memory and this whole thing becomes a non-issue!

Re:your two follow-up questions. I suggest you post two follow-up questions. One Question re: saving data while you run. Yes it is possible, I do it all of the time, but this warrents a diferent thread. Similarly with the dynamic call question of sub-VI's.

The reason I am asking you to post new Q's is;
1) Many Enthusiats who may know the answer to your questions may not be watching a thread this deep. You can get a wider audience.
2)People searching for answers to Q's like your follow-ups, will probably chase down a Q with what you started.

So...
Get more memory,
Post more qu
estions,
Be patiant with us, we are mostly just volunteers.

Trying to help,

Ben
