Finite State Machine does'nt store value

The store value of finite state machine object is not working in a specific way :
- store value is Yes

- function containing the finite state machine can be disable : in my case, it is disable at startup during at least 1500 ms.

But in this specific way, the memorized object works fine !

BAD, I'M UNSATISFIED


I'm very disapointed because I want the "Finite State Machine (FSM)" object to work as a "MR" object when these are disabled at system startup. and actualy, you can’t propose me any solution.

In fact, I have to use an MR to record the FSM value and I have to add a transition for each step in order to set it to the correct value (Identical at when the system is shut down). [not maintainable in case of evolution, and/or difficult when they are many steps]

It doesn’t make sense that disabling an FSM will reset it to default state, when I could use the "reset channel" to reset it when I disable it only if i want, not the MC43.

It is even less understandable why the MR object is not reset in the same situation.

Disabling of an FSM resets it to default state. 

This is how it is designed, so it is not a bug. 


But documentation should be better, the IQANdesign user manual will be updated to clearly explain this.
