7526 DCT Reference


Non-Volatile Storage

Another difference between how a personal computer and the 7526 load and run the executable program is that the 7526 has no disk drives. The program, once loaded, remains in battery-backed static RAM. This includes all of a program's data variables. All of the non-static global variables in the program will retain their values through power-on/off cycles. This allows having large amounts of data retained on the 7526 through power failures or over a holiday.

Note:

If variables are global, but declared as static, they will be initialized on each call to the CFR. To avoid this, do not use the static keyword on global variables.
