Hi,
There is an automatic system running a lot of time on the Lab station.
Suddenly the strange error occurred during execution the IVI step (Power Supply closing) - please see the attached image.
Why did this error occur and how to treat the problem?
Thanks.

Hi Berezka,
Just to be clear, this runs for a while without error and then occasionally hits this limitation and errors out? If so, then this could possibly be due to the On the Fly Reporting TestStand is performing. It may be necessary to reserve reporting and cut down on the amount of memory it uses.
In order to adjust the report please go into Report Options»Content and select Conserve Memory and Only Display Latest Results. I would suggest trying this and rerunning your sequence to see if you hit the same limitation. I have copied some more details on the option below to give you a background of how it's working.
Conserve Memory and Only Display Latest Results: When enabled, TestStand periodically purges results maintained in memory while generating on-the-fly reports. If enabled, the displayed report only contains results that have not been previously purged. The purged results are appended to the report file saved to disk. Typically, you use this option if executions run for a long period and you want to limit the size of the report in memory. The option is enabled only when you enable On-The-Fly Reporting and when the Report Format is not XML Document or ATML Report. When you enable this option, you must also enable Discard Results or Disable Results When Not Required by Model in the Model Options dialog box.
Please let us know if you are able to get this working or are still running into the same issue.
Regards,
Kyle Smith

Hi KyleTTU,
The report format is HTML, On-The-Fly Reporting is disable.
We are using custom report: collecting data during the tests execution and at the end passing all the data into ReportHeader in the overridden callback ModifyReportHeader.

Hi,
If you are using Standard Report logging and you have a lot of Results either because you are running Sequences with a lot of Steps or running over a long period, ResultList just grows in size until you run out of memory to store any more.
If this is the case then try switching to On-the-fly Reporting.
