How to print a snapshot report on startup in Flow-X





PRINT A SNAPSHOT REPORT ON STARTUP IN FLOW-X

This document describes how to generate a snapshot repot whenever the Flow-X flow computer starts up for any reason.




  1. Define a new Calculation group





  1. Define a new tag to latch the latest startup time




  1. Give print snapshot report command

Activate the print command when actual started time differs from the latched started time.





  1. Latch the new started time
