I use variables on nearly all of my configurations. But probably 95% of that usage is to minimize delays on changing the input to the display device. It's not like it is that difficult. Probably adds 3-4 mins to the entire programming (especially with copy and paste available)
I never use variables to track TOADS. If you guys are successful at that, bully for you. I've never been able to make it work. I tell the customer that I simply can't automate power to a toad device. I guess I must be lazy.
As to the original poster...I think he is spoofing or punking us. Why you guys bother, is beyond me...well...I know why Ernie bothers. Because he has no life.
I avoid changing display inputs as much as possible. Sometimes it can't be avoided, but changing display inputs just always seemed like the most likely place for a failure.
