PDA Memory Total Details
Palm OS Palm OS divides the total available RAM into two logical areas—dynamic RAM and storage RAM. Palm OS uses dynamic RAM as working space for temporary allocations by implementing a single heap that provides memory for dynamic allocations. From this dynamic heap, the system provides memory for dynamic data, such as global variables, system dynamic allocations (TCP/IP, Bluetooth, IrDA, and so on, as applicable), application stacks, temporary memory allocations, and application dynamic allocations.
Pocket PC The PDA Memory Total VI is the same as the Pocket PC GlobalMemoryStatus API. You can use the PDA Memory Total VI to determine how much memory an application can allocate without severely affecting other applications. The information the PDA Memory Total VI returns is volatile. Two sequential calls to this VI might not return the same data.
