Description
This block returns the file accessor's current position in a file. This position is the total number of bytes away from the start of the file.
As with many of the other datalogging and file I/O Raptor blocks, this block takes a file handle as an input, and propagates the same file handle through the block logic to an output of the block. By connecting the File Handle output of file I/O block 'X' to the File Handle input of file I/O block 'Y', application designers can ensure that the logic executed by block Y will be performed after the logic executed by block X.
