Problem:
I don't know how much memory and storage are left for my applications when I install and run software on my FieldPoint controller.

Solution:
The following table shows two possible software configurations for each of four versions of the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. For each software configuration, the table lists the amount of storage space required for installation and the amount of memory used when the software is launched. For the amount of storage space and memory on your controller, refer to the controller specifications. For other possible software configurations that can work on your controller, refer to Knowledge Base 3JHCMAHL: What Versions of Software Drivers Can Be Installed With My FieldPoint CD?
