# A Note on Buffers # A Note on Buffers
Due to on-board RAM and USB bandwidth limitations, each board has only two buffer resources available. Each device requires a certain amount of these buffer resources to function. Labrador uses on-board buffers to store data for transmission to and from the host computer. Unfortunately, due to on-board RAM and USB bandwidth limitations, each board has only two buffer resources available. Below is a table showing how many buffer resources each of Labrador's tools uses.

This limits which devices can be turned on at any one point in time. For example, the Multimeter and Oscilloscope cannot be turned on at the same time since this would require 3 buffers. One would need to be switched off. This limits what can be turned on simultaneously. For example, the Multimeter and Oscilloscope cannot be turned on at the same time since this would require 3 buffer resources. One would need to be switched off.
The number of remaining buffers is displayed graphically in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. To free up buffer resources, devices can be switched off by unticking the box next to their name.
