Hi Lewis,

>> What are the intended meanings of the other values of PINI and where is that documented?

Thanks, I knew I had seen it somewhere.  The Application Developer's Guide needs to be updated.

It seems to me that records with YES, RUN, and RUNNING would process (i.e. send values to the device) on reconnect events under my proposal #3.

Records with PAUSE, PAUSED could indicate records that should process on disconnect events?

But this is really overloading the meanings of these values and the PINI field, and a new record field or fields would be better.
