Is there a way to have EZTouchScreen automatically write a floating point value to a PLC Vmemory location upon downloading of new EZTouchScreen file? That is, without using a numeric entry object or a recipe object on the TouchScreen to activate the process of writing to the PLC, can this be done automatically whenever the TouchScreen is powered on or when a new version of the displays are loaded onto it? Thanks!

As far as I am aware of the EZ-Touch cannot perform this type of behaviour.
However, the new C-more line of touchpanels can have events that will download to the PLC on screen changes, on a schedule, or on the changing of a tag value in the PLC. I am not sure that the C-more touchpanel can write a value when a new project is loaded though.
