Re: CRio Flash Memory

All non-volatile flash memory has a limited number of writes before it fails. They are cautioning you that constantly using that feature, say on your robot code, can add hundreds of thousands of writes depending on how often you are writing and overwriting the pictures.

It's a bit of overkill: we're still using our first 8-slot cRIO on a regular basis and have not suffered a memory failure. However, it's sound advice. If you're not going to be using those images there's no need to keep writing them to the disk.
