Moderately large binary files - how to read with a 1GB RAM system?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm a new user to labview, and I'm having trouble reading a binary file that is 200MB in size. I'm not really familiar with Labview's programming language, but I used the File Open dialog function and it seems to work fine with files that are 150MB or smaller, but really slows down when they pass that limit.

Should I use a different function, or split the file up somehow? Could anyone provide a step-by-step solution? Thanks very much, and I appreciate any input!

My system specs:

512 x2 GB RAM

132 GB free HD space

Thanks, but I feel like a complete doofus right now because I can't seem to find some of those functions (file open and file close icons seem different than mine). Are these Labview 8.0 functions?

no, from the advanced file IO Palette in LV 7.1.1
