Re: [foxboro] Memory Register in Calc type blocks

But they ARE saved in a checkpoint.  IA has an autocheckpoint facility, yes?
Perhaps you set up the time for this to happen just after the daily
(assumedly)
calculations run in the CALC blocks.

Or... the memory values may not be connectable, but 'omget' does retrieve
them.
So it would also be possible to run a script at times  shortly after the
CALCs
run to gather the memory values and file them.  To set them in after a
reboot,
you would either do it by hand, or use ICCAPI.

Another posibility; use an IND sequence to get the values and script their
rewrite
after the reboot.  The IND programmed in the same CP avoids that horrible
network
traffic associated with the OMGET unconnected read.

<stream-of-conciencness or what ???>
