citadel database to store constants?

[andress]

can i use citadel database to store constants?

normally use citadel to store trends of any variable (and work fine), but if i need store a constant value, for example the result of a test (user name, erorr, etc...).    i can do it using memory tags, but is a good practice?  or maybe the best way to do is with other database and the connectivity toolset?

thanks for any answer!

I've used memory tags for stuff like this and I've also Flatten to String on clusters and saved this string to a file. Then read the file back into labview and use the Unflatten from String with a cluster constant to get the original data.
