What is the maximal Buffer size for traditional NI-DAQ?

Hello,
I use a new NI S 6115 DAQ with four channels. The sampling rate is 10 MHz. I would like to enlarge the amount of samples, that I store in memory RAM of my PC.
Around 8300000 samples/channel I get a heap error (at configuration time).
Is this a LabView or a Windows problem?
When a trigger occurs, I read the data and store it to hard disk.
PC: 3 GHz, 1 GByte RAM. Windows 2000, LabView 7.0

Hello,

the problem is when you use a sampling rate of 10 MHz on four channels you need a memory of 80MB(10Msample x 2Byte x 4Channels). The Input FIFO only has a memory of 64MB.
That means you can only use 3 channels (60MB) with such a high sampling rate.

Regards,
Michael Sallaberger
