In the "Derived Tags", I use the following epression
to create animation tag.

if ( tag <> 4) then (tag+1) else 0

In each second, the tag is increased by one.
It's moving between 0 - 4 .
I need the result moves faster than a second.
How to set up the scan time.
 
You don't mention if you are using RSView32 or RSView SE. For RSView32, open the Derived Tag file then click on Setup from the menu. From there you can change the evaluation period.

I have seen animations done this way before and there is a down side. Every time the value of the derived tag is changed the change is recorded in the activity log. If you want to use the log for its intended purpose you will find that it becomes very full very quickly.

I'd just run the "animate" DDE utility that comes with RSView and use it's built in tools instead of creating a derived tag. You can base an expression on one of the ready made floating point tags to get a very smooth animation...Then, RSView isn't burdened with constantly evaluating derived tags, and is free to do other stuff...
