Raptor:Non-Volatile Startup: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:40, 27 February 2014

Description

This block is used to define the behavior of NonVolatile variables on startup after reprogramming. Variables can either be reloaded with the defaults when the module is programmed, or if Keep Saved Values is selected the values of the NonVolatile memory will mainatined from the previous program. If the structure of the NonVolatile memory changes (variables are added or removed), then it will not be possible to keep the saved values and all NonVolatile items will be restored to their default when the module is programmed. If this block is not present in the model the NonVolatile memory will be restored to default when the module is programmed.

-! <h5>[[Raptor:Override|Override]]</h5>
-| <p>The Raptor override block is used to be able to override the value on a wire from the calibration tool. The block will normally pass the value at the input port to the output port. However when the override state is set to Override the block will output the value input from the calibration tool.</p>
