System requirements for picture caching depend on the number of pictures you choose to cache.
The current version of iFIX requires 128 megabytes of physical memory to run. However, as your cache size increases, your memory requirements will increase. Use the following as a guide for memory requirements when caching pictures. Memory should increase:
- 2 to 3 times the file size for each picture that does not include bitmaps and controls.
- 3 to 4 times the file size for each picture that includes bitmaps and controls.
For example, a 2 megabyte file that does not include bitmaps and controls requires a 4 to 6 megabyte increase in memory. A 2 megabyte file that includes bitmaps and controls requires an increase in the memory of 6 to 8 megabytes.
