Opens the Memory Usage Monitor tool that lets you see how much memory JMRI is using in your computer.
There are three columns in the display at the top of the panel:
- used (MB) - the amount of memory currently in use.
- free (MB) - the amount of memory currently allocated to JMRI, but not in use, free for later use.
- total (MB, of 198.500 Mb) - the total memory available to JMRI.
The buttons located at the bottom each column:
- - puts a new series of values in the bottom row of the memory display and moves the old values up one row.
- - reduces the amount of used memory to the minimum possible by asking Java to run a garbage collection.
- - Runs a test of the memory allocation and collection process ( not used by regular users)
