Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

There may be many specification files like \/specs\/gen_labels.NNN, but only those which contain computed expressions require a copy of compvar to be running with the same registered name.<\/p>\n

This process is normally started from the ‘go.scp’ startup script and is usually run as a critical task which will cause a watchdog shutdown if it fails.<\/p>\n

Multiple instances of “compvar” may be started to handle multiple spec files. Normally, there is a 1-to-1 pairing of an instance of “compvar” with a spec file. The pairing is accomplished through the “registered name”. The “registered name” is a spawning argument for “compvar” and is placed in the corresponding spec file following the macro “@REG_NAME”.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
