The control room would like a way to signal with a numeric value what type of snap file is loaded to better signal what state a model is in
The control room would like to look at ways to make it more apparent if a model is in a well-known SDF state (ie safe or OBSERVE). An easy way to do that would be to use a calc block in medm, but that only works on numeric types, not on strings (which is how we export the sdf).
It may be useful to export a sdf type value if the sdf name is one of a known set.
