This is the ability of a Read Map Descriptor to automatically create a temporary write Map Descriptor to update the value of an external R/W (Read or Write) memory location. Since the ControlNet card contains separate Read-Only (Output) and Write-Only (Input) Buffers, write-throughs are not supported on ControlNet messaging, but
