How can NI FBUS Monitor display very large recorded files

[AWrensch]

NI FBUS Monitor version 3.0.1 outputs an error message "Out of memory", if I try to load a large recorded file of size 272 MB. Is there any combination of operating system (possible Vista32 or Vista64) and/or physical memory size, where NI FBUS Monitor can display such large recordings ? Are there any patches or workarounds or tools to display very large recorded files?

Hi,

NI-FBUS Monitor does not set the limitation on the maximum record file size. The physical memory size in the system is one of the most important factors that affect the loading of large record file.  Monitor will try loading the entire file into the memory during file open operation.

272MB is a really large file size. To open the file, your system must have sufficient physical memory available.  Otherwise "Out of memory" error will occur.

I would recommend you do not use Monitor to open a file larger than 100MB. Loading of a too large file will consume the system memory quickly and decrease the performance.
