Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?
If you want to operate the instrument with four or fewer personality
options installed, you can skip ahead to the next section,
Optional Measurement Personality” on page 18
. If, after installing your
options, you get error messages relating to memory issues, you can
return to this section to learn more about how to optimize your
configuration.
If you want to install your 4th or subsequent option, you should check to
see how much memory you have available.
If you have 64 MBytes of memory installed in your instrument, you
should have ample memory to install five optional personalities, with
plenty of memory to spare for data and states.
If you have less than 64 MBytes of installed memory, depending how
much data you save, you are unlikely to have any memory issues until
you want to install your 4th option. If this is the case, you can either
swap the applications in/out of memory as needed, or you can upgrade
your hardware to 64 MBytes of memory.
