How can I edit the database in Lookout OPC Modbus driver OPC sever with the address that has a write attribute?

When I use Lookout Modbus driver OPC to communicate with my instrumnets, I edited the database number such as 41202 that has a Write attribute in my instrumnet manual, the OPC explorer got bad data, and the OPC server gave the illegal address alarm, when I input the address such as 41203 that has R/W attribute, it worked very well. Is there a way to fix this problem. When I used other OPC server, there was no this kind of problem. Thanks!

Is the register that you are trying to access 16 or 32 bit? You would get an illegal address if you tried to read a 32 bit register and were offset by 16 bits.

Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the Modbus manual of my instrument, the register is 16 bit. I tried to edit the data according to the Modbus data member in lookout modbus drivere server for several different member, but the OPC still gave me the illegal address. I think the problem may be produced by their attribute, for the address 1201 and 1202, they have the write attribute, for other addresses, they have W/R attribute, and they can be read or write through Lookout OPC server perfectly. when I used the demo OPC server from other company, it can work well, but it is not convinient for me to use Labview when I use that software. I prefer NI Lookout OPc server. I am using the Lookout 4.5. I am wondering whether the Lookout has some shortcoming when I
use the Modbus driver. Please give me any suggestion, is there any newest version of Lookout OPC sever? Thanks!
