Analog Input Tags

The role of analog input tags is to represent incoming analog data values from equipment processes, and provide drawing methods to display the data in numeric or graphic form as a bar, gauge, or number.

Note: Analogs can have text values if the driver returns a text value.   For this to happen, the Unscaled Min and Unscaled Max values within the Scaling tab must be set equal.
