Global variables are used as buffers within the device and do not depend on a data type. That way it is possible to transmit values, created within an input chain, to another input chain for reprocessing. At most 8 global variables can be defined in the ZK-MasterIV. The use of global variables is explained in detail in chapter 5.3.
Manual Datafox ZK-MasterIV When a global variable is filled via an input chain you have to differ to cases: Either you fill the GV and create a data record concurrently, or you fill the GV without creating a data record. In the second case please note, that there should be no connection to any data record description.
