The data in this memory is retained when the controller is powered down. The data stored is
duplicated. This allows the controller to determine if a write was in progress when power was removed.
The error
erNON_VOLATILE_MEMORY_ERROR (37) will be returned if the data is corrupted.
The data must be read in the same format as it was written. Writing data to a location as a float and
reading it back as a long will not give the same data. Within Mint, it is recommended that
NVFLOAT is
used as all data is floating point.
On NextMove PCI, there are 3072 addressable locations accessed from 0 to 3071 inclusive.
On ServoNode 51, there are 1024 addressable locations accessed from 0 to 1023 inclusive.
Example:
REM Store the number of products and product length in NVRam
NVFLOAT (0) = productLength
NVLONG (1) = productNumber

1.0 ≤ x ≤ 8388607.0
Description:
When an offset of mode 2 or 3 is executed the offset distance is taken as the distance over which to
perform the offset.
Example:
OFFSETDISTANCE.1 = 5
This sets the distance over which the offset will occur to be 5 user units.
