Small Free Physical memory available in cRIO 9012

I have a cRIO 9012, with Chassis 9111, LV 2016 and OS Windows 7.

I see that the Free Physical memory in the Crio is only 2.55 MB, total 60.4 MB.

In this way I cannot deploy the VI since I receive the error memory full 

What I could do to increase the free memory?

Those (very) old cRIOs came with just 64MB RAM - I used the cRIO9074 in that era.

 

What you can do:

  • Upgrade to a recent cRIO generation: no problems with RAM anymore…
  • Remove any unneeded software component from the System setup in MAX!
    Do you really need all those passports? Do you need the ScanEngine or can you live with just the FPGA interface?
    I usually only used a very basic software setup and so got ~30MB of RAM after system startup…
Best regards,
GerdW

Dear GerdW,

I am new in the cRIO management. How can I delete the unnecessary software components? Or how can I reset the system and install only the necessary software?

Thanks Max

You can change/install the cRIO software in NI-MAX.

Usually there is a pre-defined setup that installs mainly ALL available software: this will use up most available RAM.

But you can also select your own installation rules and install only those drivers needed for your task.

 

See the cRIO manual that came with your device. It mentions how to install software… (RTFM.)

Best regards,
GerdW

 I would use it with RT and possibly with FPGA. To be honest, I do not know what is the passport. It would be great if you could tell me what are the essential software components I should keep.

Your code tells you which software components are needed...
