647093

Return
NI I/O Trace crashes when capturing API function calls that contain long strings.
Capturing API calls in NI I/O Trace that pass strings in excess of 512 bytes in certain cases and in excess of 1024 bytes in other cases causes NI I/O Trace to crash when the "Buffer Limit per Parameter" setting is set to "Large Buffer (Maximum size: 64k bytes)."

Workaround: From the NI I/O Trace Options dialog set the "Buffer Limit per Parameter" setting to "Small buffer (Maximum size: 64 bytes)." This is the default setting and will result in only the first and last 32 bytes of data being recorded. The additional string contents will be lost from the capture. For additional information, contact support at ni.com/support.
