scan times, two separate scans can be used with logic to jump between them. If a
PulseCount() is used in both scans, then a PulseCountReset is used prior to
entering each scan.
A program signature is a unique integer calculated from all characters in a given
set of code. When a character changes, the signature changes. Incorporating
signature data into a the CR1000 data set allows system administrators to track
program changes and assure data quality. The following program signatures are
available.
• text signature
• binary-runtime signature
• executable-code signatures
7.8.16.1 Text Signature
The text signature is the most-widely used program signature. This signature is
calculated from all text in a program, including blank lines and comments. The
program text signature is found in the Status table as ProgSignature. See CRBasic
example Program Signatures (p. 242).
7.8.16.2 Binary Runtime Signature
7.8.16.3 Executable Code Signatures
The binary runtime signature is calculated only from program code. It does not
include comments or blank lines. See CRBasic example Program Signatures (p.
242).
Executable code signatures allow signatures to be calculated on discrete sections
of executable code. Executable code is code that resides between BeginProg and
EndProg instructions. See CRBasic example Program Signatures (p. 242).
