DRAM Memory
The QuickPanel View is equipped with approximately 16 MB of dynamic RAM,
which is split between an object store for temporary file storage and the main
memory for running programs.
Typically, compressed programs stored in FLASH are expanded and moved to
DRAM for execution. Temporary storage of program variables or data files is
also provided by DRAM—any data stored in DRAM will not be retained through
a power cycle.
The split between program memory and storage memory may be adjusted as
necessary to make more room for one or the other, depending on your specific
application needs. For example, if you find that an application is short of
memory, use the System Properties dialog box to alter DRAM memory
allocation.
Caution
Setting Program Memory too low may prevent additional
applications from starting, or may cause currently running
applications to fail due to lack of memory. Setting Storage
Memory too low may prevent the saving of files into the
object store portion of the file system, which may also cause
application failures.
