7.2 Bank 1
The global parameter bank 1 is normally not available. It may be used for customer specific extensions of the
firmware. Together with user definable commands (see section 7.3) these variables form the interface
between extensions of the firmware (written in C) and TMCL™ applications.
7.3 Bank 2
Bank 2 contains general purpose 32 bit variables for the use in TMCL™ applications. They are located in RAM
and can be stored to EEPROM. After booting, their values are automatically restored to the RAM.
Up to 56 user variables are available.
Meaning of the letters in column Access:
 R = readable (GGP)
 W = writeable (SGP)
 E = automatically restored from EEPROM after reset or power-on.
