It can be done, you'd just have to write the script to do it.

So there is no other way than scripting? Can anyone show me the way since i don't have experience in scripts. Is this a language from wonderware or an other language (vba, c) . Anyone has a link to a manual or tutorial about intouch scripting. Apreciate the help.

The wonderware manual should be on the installation CD's. It's their own proprietary scripting language.

I was just looking for something similar within InTouch and found this in the manual

StringFromIntg() Function
In a script, you can convert an integer value to a string value by using the StringFromIntg() function.

This function returns the string value of an integer value and performs a base conversion at the same time. This can be used, for example, to show text together with integer values or for converting integer values to hexadecimal numbers.

Syntax
result = StringFromIntg (number, base)

Parameters
number

A literal integer value, integer tagname, or integer expression.

base

The base of the conversion. This is used for converting the value to a different base, such as binary (2), decimal (10) or hexadecimal (16). A literal integer value, integer tagname, or integer expression.

Example(s)
StringFromIntg(26,2) returns “11010” (binary.

StringFromIntg(26,8) returns “32”—because
(base 8: 26 = 3*8 + 2)

StringFromIntg(26,10) returns “26” (decimal).

StringFromIntg(26,16) returns “1A” (hexadecimal).

Hope this helps
