Dear Carnivorus:
I would venture to say that perhaps there is not enough memory to
complete the operation! :) All snide aside, working with large
arrays takes some serious number crunching. You might try twiddling
your swap file size (on the Advanced properties tab of My Computer in
win2K and later). However, you're probably bumping up against the
absolute limit of the OS.
If there is ANY way of dividing and conquering your data so as to
not have to deal with such a large array, I think you should
invistigate it. YOu may find you don't need anywhere near the samples
you think you do. (voice of experience,here!) Or perhaps you don't
need the dynamic range. (On most DAQ cards, you can't change the
number of bits, but you might be able to use a card with fewer than
you're currently using)
