Application is not able to keep up with the hardware acquisition Issue

[kaho2315]

Hi,

I am new to LabView Data Acquisition System, so please forgive me for asking the question below.

I am using USB-6212 and a Keyence IR temperature sensor to monitor our device's temperature over time continuously.

I want to run the temperature measurement system for at least 6 hours; however, the LabView software crashed 30 minutes later.

It shows an error message attached, and I believe it is due to not having enough memory space after it measured so much data.

(The Size 4 indicator shows the number of elements in an array)

I have read many articles about this issue, and some suggested using "Request Deallocation" to clear out some unused memory.

I'm unsure if "Request Deallocation" would work for my situation since I want the program to run continuously (nonstop) for a few hours until a certain condition has been met.

I would like to see if anyone has any suggestions for solving this problem.

Thank you very much; I really appreciate for your help

Id recommend you to take a look at this link, and search for examples

already included in your LabVIEW Environment.

Inside the link, take a look at the NI-DAQmx Read section

Examples listed are also available in LabVIEW installation.

On top of what LFBaute has shared and you should avoid using DAQ Assistant VI, you can check out Understanding and Avoiding NI-DAQmx Overwrite and Overflow Errors to learn how to configure suitable timing parameters as well.

Hi LFBaute and ZYOng,

Thank you for your suggestions!

I edited the program to use NI DAQmx and producer-consumer architecture.

Now I have tried to run the code for 2 hours so far, and it works great!

Thank you very much once again. I really appreciate it!
