Does LabView have a memory limit that you can set?

I am writing a data reduction program and the file sizes are going to be +15 megs each. The allocated memory on the computer rises to about 300 megs then labview crashes. Can that limit be changed? The computer has duel Xeon's and a gig of ram on it so there are NO restrictions with the computer. Most of the functions are array manipulation and then building them back to .csv files.

The starting place for managing memory in LabVIEW is to read Application Note 168. Bring along some coffee. It's not the most exciting document in the world, but it is an excellent description of LabVIEW memory usage.

As to your particular problem, I have never seen the ability to explicitly define a memory limit in LabVIEW. Most of that seems to be handled by the operating system that you use. Personally, I've loaded a gigabyte of string data into memory (on a machine with 256M of ram!) without crashes under win2k.

Good luck!
