OK, thanks. I'll do that in a week or so when I get some time to do some DCS exploration again :) Corey From: "Johnson, Alex P (IOM)" <Alex.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 03/22/2011 12:14 PM Subject: Re: [foxboro] String vs. Integer Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Re: So this is incremented/changed every time any SN00xx parameter is written from in-block HLBL? Yes. Any changes to the SNxxxx parameters from within the block will increment the counter. Re: What about writes from external to the block? I don't know. I've never tried that. All I can suggest is that you build one and give it a whirl and then let us know.
