Wait, let me shortly ballpark that... 12 channels * 10^6 symbols per second * 4 * 60 seconds = 2880 Msymbols, right? That sounds like a lot. If each symbol is represented by only 1 bit, you'll need about 360 MB alone to represent the data in memory. (The .sr file format however is compressed, so it may be smaller than that.) But there is probably some overhead in sigrok and pulseview in order to actually display the data, so I'll guess it comes to 1 to 4 bytes of memory for each symbol, which will take you to the order of ~2 to 10 GByte in order to display all information in your file, without any optimizations. > At about 2:14min it stopps with an Error: > > "Failed to Load <File> Out of Memory, acquisition stopped." > > Is there a chance to work around this, or get more memory reserved for > PulseView? That depends, we need more information here :) Are you on Linux, Mac, Windows, anything else? On Linux and Unix-likes, you can watch the memory consumption of the puleview process by using top or htop [0], sorting by MEM% (press "M") and having a look at the "RES" column. On Windows, look at the resource usage in the task manager. If you really get to the limit of your available memory (RAM+Swap), there is probably not much you can do except buy more RAM, reduce the sample rate of your input file, split the file into smaller files, or come up with more efficient memory handling in sigrok and pulseview. If pulseview memory consumption is much lower than your available memory, there might be other issues involved. But let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
