Tom,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out today.

I'm using the user persist vars to store x,y,z calibration coordinates for the machine so that when the machine is calibrated in the factory that it will work on customers computer without having to re-calibrate. Also if the customer wants to re-calibrate I want to give them the option to store locations in flash.

Tom et. All,

This did not work for me.

Where is the does the function "void iFLASH(void)" reside, in the KMotionDLL.lib? If you are manually adding the prototype below the #include "KMotionDef.h" then I'm assuming that its not defined elsewhere?

Also, does it not take a board number parameter?

Ah, I got this to work... I was trying to do this in VC, it needs to be in the embedded C code, seems to be working good.
