Analog Status Tags

Analog status tags were originally unique to VTScada, but have long since been included in the core VTS software. It is the role of analog status tags to take analog data such as well level or a motor speed from an I/O device.

Note: Analogs can have text values if the driver returns a text value and if the Unscaled Max value is set equal to the Unscaled Min value in the tag configuration.

The characteristics of analog status tags are summarized in the table below.
