Multiple use of a single Memory Flag

[Aleq]

Hi,
one more question to the local gurus. Is it possible to have multiple outputs of a single Memory flag? I always get 1 output when creating the Memory flag and the rest are inputs. Is this by design, to keep the layout simple?

Thanks,
Aleq

a memory flag has a single input, where the flag is set by connecting to the output of a switch or function block etc
the flag can then be dropped on to multiple pages where each one acts as an output, which can connect to the input of other function blocks

A memory flag can be written to once (as an output to something) and read as many times as you wish (as inputs to something).

So it's by design. Ok, thanks Everybody for replies

By design, that's correct. But if you need multiple inputs to the same mem flag; you can do that:
- function 1's output connects to mem flag 1
- function 2's output connects to mem flag 2
- drag/drop memflag 1 & mem flag 2 from the tree structure onto the page
- connect mem flag 1 output and mem flag 2 output to the same input of mem flag 3.

Not sure why you would do this, but each time either function 1 or function 2 output changes; it overwrites the value in mem flag 3.
