Memory Storage

Summary

Provides an in-memory storage buffer with flexible read and write operations.

Description

The **Memory Storage** component implements a data buffer stored in memory, allowing sequential or random access reading and writing. It supports a wide range of element types for both **Readers** and **Writers**, making it suitable for applications that require temporary data storage, stream manipulation, or binary/text buffering.

This storage can be configured to operate in **loop mode**, enabling cyclic buffering where data overwrites the oldest content when full. The **Size** property defines the total buffer capacity (default is 512 bytes).

Elements define the type of operations available.

• Readers:
  • Read Seek
  • Read Text Line
  • Read Binary Analog
  • Read Binary Integer
  • Read Binary Unsigned
  • Read Binary Date/Time
  • Read Binary Complex
  • Read Binary Quaternion
  • Read Binary Block
  • Read Binary Color
  • Read Binary Alpha Color
  • Read Binary RGBW Color
  • Read Binary RGBW Alpha Color
  • Repeat Read

• Writers:
  • Write Seek
  • Write Text Line
  • Write Binary Analog
  • Write Binary Integer
  • Write Binary Unsigned
  • Write Binary Date/Time
  • Write Binary Complex
  • Write Binary Quaternion
  • Write Binary Block
  • Write Binary Color
  • Write Binary Alpha Color
  • Write Binary RGBW Color
  • Write Binary RGBW Alpha Color

This component is ideal for scenarios such as:

• Temporary storage of streamed data.
• Processing and replay of binary communication packets.
• In-memory manipulation of structured data without external storage.
