1.3 Saving data to memory
This manual will describe how to configure the TimeCore and actions, tasks,
etc. The unit's web-interface is used for editing these kinds of elements. When
changes are made, these changes are directly stored in the RAM memory of
the TimeCore and the programming will directly influence the behaviour of the
unit. RAM memory is, however, volatile and its content will be lost through a
power cycle. For this reason the TimeCore will copy any changes in the RAM
memory to its onboard flash memory. Flash memory retains its data even when
not powered. The TimeCore will load all its data back from the flash memory
upon startup.
This memory copy process is conducted automatically by the TimeCore and
should not be of any concern of the user. One point of consideration is, how-
ever, that after making a change the unit should be given time to perform the
copy to flash. As a rule of thumb, do not disconnect the power from the device
within 30 seconds from making a programming change.
