   I use an ai record to retrive the value from hardware, in my SNL program, I want to compare the previous value of ai and the new value, then do some action.
   how can I get the previous of ai?

Either - in the SNL program - by assigning the current value to a local variable as part of your action.

Or - in the database - by adding another ai record that pulls the old value from your hardware-ai before processing it via FLNK. (Won't work for I/O scanned hardware ai.)

Or - in the database - by adding a compress record that is configured as a ring buffer, which can hold the arbitrary length history of an ai.

Hope this helps,
