Hello All!
I am trying to create an analog display in Archestra that will automatically pull the Intouch tag properties and display them as part of the display.
For example, I would like the engineering units of the tag to be shown on the archestra display as a text string next to the actual numeric value. If I was to do this within the Intouch animation link system, it would be something to the effect of Tagname.EngUnits. However, I am so far unsuccessful at accessing the dotfields of an intouch tag from an archestra element. I have a custom property set for the symbol as "Value", which allows me to see the current value for an analog (real) tag. If I have a custom property which relates to a text value, I can directly reference the dotfield. This requires me to input the tagname multiple times when dropping in the archestra graphic and introduces more chances of error when assigning hundreds of tags.
Is there any way to insert an Archestra symbol into Intouch and only assign the tagname, but pull multiple tagname fields from the dictionary?
Thanks for your help in advance!
