Posting twice was a mistake. I had not clicked the check box to get an email when my post was read. Not knowing it would double post, I hit the back button and clicked the check box - this the two post. QUOTE(jg69 @ Nov 17 2007, 10:31 AM)

Have seen several references to a "Demo Read Voltage.vi" in various NI documentation (one is here: http://www.physics.utoledo.edu/~alukasz/labview_tutorial.PDF ) - and also in a text I have - LabVIEW for Everyone. But it's not on the evaluatoin disk of LabVIEW that came with the book. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of it? I would like to see what functionality it has. Thanks

Have an application that takes data off various instruments - most of them over a GPIB. Have had the program hang up a few times over the last several days, and have a feeling it's a memory issue. I haven't been able to figure a way to limit the amount of RAM my LabVIEW application uses - is there a way. Also, how would I go about troubleshooting where things are crashing. What I've experience before the crashes is one of the instruments on the bus getting an error - sometimes by the instrument displaying "Error" on the front panel. Other times instruments have received commands that cause it to change states - like I had a DVM that was set up to read currents, all of a sudden displaying resistance in Ohms - and no where in the program do I read ohms off of any instrument. Also, I haven't tried this - but would creating an executable be more memory efficient than just running my project? I think where I work we have limited versions that we can create executables, and I have personally never done this. Most of our LabVIEW users are EE's using LabView for small programs where they just want to set up 3-6 instruments and get some data. This project is a little more complex than what I've attempted in the past, and would appreciate some feedback. On the topic of making an executable, what version of LabVIEW do you need? I don't think the version I'm running has the ability to make executables. Thanks Dave
