If result on line Z is less than 262,144, no additional memory is required. 
If result on line Z is greater than 500,000 then enter the job in 3-SDU to determine the exact size 
requirement (size of CABxx.bin file). 
If result on line Z is still greater than 500,000 reduce the number of points on the panel, for example, by 
splitting the panel into two panels.
