Reading a 2D array from a binary file causes memory error

[Ray.R]

I created a small VI to read a binary file (in order to help out with a forum post).

All I need to do is read the binary file and restore it's 2D array.  I have used it with the same binary file before and it didn't give me any error.

Now, everytime I run it, I get an error message saying there isn't enough memory.  Furthermore, it adds 450 MB in the memory useage.

So, I will attach the small VI.  All it does is read the binary file and sends the data to the waveform graph.  Nothing complicated.  Done this many times before.

Did the binary file get corrupted?  All I get is 500 elements of the same value.. as shown below... Which is NOT what I was getting earlier.

Rebooting the PC did not change anything. 

The binary data file is also attached...  rawData_org.bin (in zip file).

Any comments?  (this will probably make ity into the ....bad day thread.... - for those of you familair with Breakpoint)

I see what you mean.  But the memory error isn't being caused by the read from binary file, but the writing of the array to the chart.  If you transpose the array before sending it to the chart, there is no error.

This may be related to some of the bug threads I think I've seen lately about too many plots on on a chart.  It winds up as a 999 plots of 2 points rather than a single plot of 1000 points.

Ray,

Everytime I have seen that error when updating a chart it was fixed by transposing (as Ravens Fan already stated). As soon as I saw the png in the icon thread, I sensed what the Q was. Sorta like LV Jeopardy!

"Thanks Alex, I'll take cpp crash  errors for 1000 please."

LOL!!!!

Darn I feel dumb..     That's why it worked before....  d'uh...   Of course, I forgot to transpose the array with this one... 

Thanks guys!

What is weird about the naming convention.  It is a standard one to avoid blank spaces.  startWithLowerCase andUseUpperCaseInsteadOfSpace

or are you referring to the actual name "whatTheHeck"?  that was my reaction...  😉  It's a mock VI to test out a solution.  It gets deleted at ythe end of the day.
