VI-Scoped Memory Configuration Details

Use the Memory Properties dialog box to initialize the memory. If you reset the VI, the memory remains unchanged. You must download the VI again to reinitialize the memory.

Use the Memory Read and Memory Write functions to read from or write to the VI-scoped memory item.

If you use a VI-scoped memory item in a reentrant FPGA VI, LabVIEW creates a separate copy of the memory item for each instance of the VI, which avoids resource conflicts.

You can create a VI-scoped memory item with the same name as a target-scoped memory item. You also can create VI-scoped memory items with the same name in different VIs. However, you cannot create VI-scoped memory items with the same name in the same VI.
