I am trying to acquire and save data using the ADC PXI-5105 card and the PXI-8176 embedded controller. Unfortunately the error message, "Error Message=Not enough memory to complete this operation", is displayed on the PXI monitor when attempting to acquire at least four seconds of data.
However, I do not get this message when I use the PXI-8196 embedded controller. In fact, I can acquire data for minutes using the PXI-5105 and PXI-8196.
I use the 8.2.1 ETS RT for both embedded controllers.
Is it possible that the PXI-8176 does not have the hardware requirements to accomplish my task? Should I tell my supervisor to replace the PXI-8176 with the PXI-8196?
My PXI-8176 has:
1.2 GHz processor
128MB RAM
My PXI-8196 has:
2.0 GHz processor
512MB RAM
Thanks.
FYI, I am acquiring data using the PXI-5105 card on 6 channels. Each channel is sampled at 1 Msamp/sec at 2 bytes per sample. Therefore, I acquire data at 12MB/sec.
