Improving Performance with Efficient Memory Management in LabVIEW
Overview
LabVIEW normally manages your memory quite well. However, there are many things you can do to optimize LabVIEW's memory management. These techniques give you better performance and a smaller memory footprint. Background: Simple things seem to become impossible when you change from a small data set to a large data set. For example, reading a waveform from your NI-SCOPE device is easy if the number of samples is 10k. If you try to read 10M points, you will probably get an out-of-memory error. However, with the proper techniques, you can handle arbitrarily large data sets. This presentation will explain how to detect and manage large data issues. The techniques are usable on most versions of LabVIEW.
