LabVIEW
can I increase memory of labview?
LabVIEW can use as much memory as the OS can provide. For LabVIEW for 32 bit Windows that is limited to 2+ GB memory. If you use LabVIEW for 64 bit on a 64 bit Windows system that can be at around whatever physical memory your machine has. More than that is usually only slowing down your system dramatically as the OS has to start swapping memory to the HD.
The question "can I increase memory of labview?" is weird. Typically you want to minimize the memory use of LabVIEW.
As others have said, the maximum memory depends on the OS and LabVIEW bitness. Most typical is to run 32bit LabVIEW on 64bit windows, which allows LabVIEW to use up to 4GB of memory.
How do you even know if your problem is memory related? Typical programs with memory issues slow down over time as more and more memory is allocated. If your program is slow at first, maybe it has to do with the way things are loaded.
I am not familar with the term "massive" and what it means in terms of a LabVIEW program. Is it large because of inefficient code structure or is it large because it does a lot of things.
Can you also define "slow"? How do you measure speed? What do you observe exactly (unresponsive front panel, slow front panel updates, hight disk activity, slow execution of timed parts of the program, etc.).
Is this a built application or are you running in the development environment?
If you are running in the development environment, is everything stored locallly? Is everything upgraded to the current LabVIEW version?
You mention memory. Why do you blame memory for the slowness? Do you have any evidence to back this up? There could be many other reasons. What is the actual memory use as seen in the task manager? Does the memory use change over time? How much memory do you have and what else is running on that computer (e.g. certain windows update checks can use up to 1GB at times).
What does the program do? You say i is "slow at first". Does this mean it speeds up over time? Does it communicate with hardware? Does it call third party drivers? Does it use the network? Is there special initialization code that only runs at the beginning?
What is your OS version and bitness. What is your LabVIEW version and bitness?
If you have performance problems, it is worth to fully analyze the situation. Just throwing more memory at the problem is not a viable solution if the program is poorly written overall.
So please provide us with sufficient data to analyze the problem. It would be best to answer all my above questions, then attach your program for inspection. For example 10 greedy loops on the diagram slow down everything, even without memory problems. Programs can also become sluggish if you mess with execution priorities without knowing what you are doing.
It sounds like some timeout issue, try unplugging the network cable and temporarily turning off anti-virus.
