Rockwell converted a running IFIX system to FTView SE for a customer. (By the way, NEVER have them do this. They sell it as a 90% complete conversion, which is now costing big $$ in cleanup).
The old IFIX system used scaling, in the tag database, for the PID SP/CV/P/I/D values. I created a bunch of parameter files for all the PID variables. For the numeric displays, I can just do an expression and divide by 10, but for the SP entry, I see no way to scale the output. The old system used a single tag with integer offsets (F_XX) and since FTView doesn't support that, I see no way except to create tags for every single PID loop and use those in the parameter files.
