Finding Free Algorithm Blocks
Algorithm blocks are used to store the algorithm configuration as well as working
values required by the algorithm. Algorithm blocks are part of the database.
Details of the number of blocks available can be found in the installation guide.
Algorithm blocks are generally not shared between algorithms so each algorithm
attached to each point should be assigned a unique block number, unless you are
using algorithms 11 and 12, which need to share block numbers.
To find out which algorithm blocks have been used and which are free, you can
run the Point Cross Reference report. This report is described in “Cross Reference
Reports” on page 252.
Alternatively, you can use the alglst utility to list the free algorithm blocks in the
database. For details of running alglst, refer to “alglst” on page 494.
