Maple Systems MAPware-100 - Manual (Page 31)

OIT Memory Used Group Box
OIT Memory Used is an indicator that displays the amount of memory that has been
consumed. No more configuration data may be stored once the OIT Memory Used shows
100%.
The amount of memory required for a project varies depending upon how the system is set
up. There aren’t really any hard boundaries for how many register monitors may be
programmed. The actual number is determined by how much memory is consumed during
configuration. The reserved memory space is dynamically allocated; that is, messages don’t
all require the same amount of space. Maple Systems has invested a lot of effort in ensuring
that maximum efficiency is attained with the memory that is available. Therefore, the
amount of memory required for a message depends on a number of things: how many
blinking characters there are, how many register monitors there are, and what type of register
monitors are stored on the message. Because there aren’t any pre-defined limits on the
configuration database, the OIT Memory Used was added to the main screen as an indicator
of the amount of remaining free memory.
Message Utilization
From the Tools menu, select Message Utilization (or Control + U). The Message Utilization
screen appears. This screen displays the amount of messages used in the project, their type,
and their location within the project. The screen shows 250 messages at a time. You may
select 1–250 or 251–500.
