Why not monitor the status of the IP connection (offline manager, output of
a TCP Client, etc. . .) and (re)send the update command on the appropriate
edge of the status digital?

yeah, processor number 2 is remotely located and on its own switch. so if
that switch ever goes down temporarily, the XSIGS would look to resync each
other.

You mention the possibility of a processor going 'offline'. Should I take
that to mean the actual connection between the two is via IP?

Subject: [Crestron] Refreshing XSIG's when one processor reboots or goes
offline.
I have two processors where I am using the XSIG symbols to communicate
between the two. The problem of course with the older XSIG symbol is that
they don't force the signals to stay in sync if one processor reboots or
drops off line. From reading the help doc on the XSIG symbol, it looks
like
you can update or clear the values of the XSIG using \xFD or \xFC
respectively. I have been tinker with updating the signals, but with no
luck.
Would anyone have an example program on how to do this properly and
efficiently?
Also, I understand I could issue the update command on system start of
either of the processors, but what about if one of the processors simply
goes off line. Is there a socket signal I can monitor to track the online
status of a processor? I've looked but I must be looking in the wrong
place.
Lastly, is there any reason to use the clear command to clear all the
signals when trying to keep these in sync? Wouldn't I just want to issue
update commands.
Thanks a bunch
