Memory growth in LabVIEW or C# example

Memory usage continues to grow when you use Stress and Measure functions in a loop. The stress result and measure result take memory when you call the functions and the time of memory release is determined by the memory recovery mechanism of LabVIEW and C#.

Workaround:

(C#) In C# examples, when you have large sets of stress data or measure data, you need to set the measure and stress results to null and call System.GC.Collect() to release the memory by Garbage Collection if you do not need the data anymore. You can lean more about .NET garbage collection through the System.GC class.

(LabVIEW) You can directly use the Stress and Measure APIs when you need to collect large sets of stress and measure data. Use the In Place Element structure in a loop and call stress and measure APIs in In Place Element structure. It is better to save the stress and measure data into a file immediately when you get the stress and measure data.
If you need to pass the data, you can create a data value reference and add the read/write element of the data value reference in the In Place Element structure. Operate the data in the In Place Element structure does not require the LabVIEW compiler to copy data values and maintain those values in memory.
