Retrieving SubVI Memory Usage at Runtime


Recommended Posts

Is there a VI property/method or way to return the currnt memory usuage of a VI that is running? How does the profiler accomplish this?

The reason I need to do this is that I want to monitor the memory usuage of template vi instances that I run. If I start the profiler before I run the application to track memory usage, the instances of the VIs are shown when they are opened, but they always show 0k for their use.

I was also contemplating creating a graphical memory profiler....has this been done before in LV?

There is a VI property: metrics that has

* size of BD

* size of FP

* code size.

I am not sure if it will work on a running VI.

BD and FP size are available during runtime but Data Size is not. BD and FP don't seem to change while the VI is running
