I have a cRIO-9073 that seems to be running with very high memory usage, even when no VI is actually running. For example, if I format the cRIO, install the standard cRIO RTF S/W set (without scan engine), and then open NI Distributed System Manager, I get 85% memory usage (!). I did the format and reinstall to doubly insure that no VI is running. I have used several other cRIOs, but I never remember the OS requiring this much memory.
Attached pictures of the s/w installed and the Distributed system manager.
When I do run my VI, I am of course running out of memory.
Solved! Go to Solution.

HI Brad,
I have a 9073 and yes, the standard OS does use about 80-90% memory. You need to choose custom install and strip out as much as possible. I have been using 9074 controllers since this experience. I hope you can run your app following this advice.
Good luck,
Michael

Thanks - that's bad news. I previously had only used the 9074. Learned my lesson too now. No more 9073s.
(NI - you should really find a resolution to this, or provide a heads up to user that they will only be able to run a limited functionality set OS. Seems a bit of an oxy-moron, a chassis with a high throughput FPGA, but an OS the gobbles up 85% of the on board memory).
