Best way to get amount of memory available?

[FermWorks]

What is the best option currently to get the amount of memory available (programatically)??  I'm using LV 2011 & 2014.

Back in 2013, I got a VI from "jtagg" here, and that's what I've been using since then, but I'm not sure it's reporting what I need. I guess I don't understand exactly WHAT it's reporting. It's attached.

Jtagg, are you out there?

Jova, 

What type of memory are you interested in monitoring? 

The following links might be helpful.

This forum post might also be a good reference depending on what you need to monitor:

Will, thanks for your suggestions.

I need to programmatically monitor total memory used by our LV application (or conversely, app memory still available), over long periods of use (it runs 24/7 at our customers), as a way to watch for memory leaks.

Your first two links are not for programmatic monitoring, and the second two are quite old, from Win XP days. I'm wondering what's recommended for Windows 7 32- or 64-bit and LV 2014.

If you are monitoring application usage long term I recommend using Performance Monitor:

It obviously doesn't break it down by VI memory usage but does log lots of data on various processes and other PC statistics.

Thanks,

I found that in my search for an answer.  It doesn't work.

Hi Jim,

you should explain the words "it" and "doesn't work" more precisely...

If you have access to the System Configuration (found it under Real Time, but I don't think you need RT to use it), then you can get the memory figures directly.
