"Read Tag" to slow

[Val Controls]

Hi...

I'm using the "Read Tag.vi" from the DSC module to read the tag from an OPC server.

The "Read Tag.vi" is placed in a loop so it should run al the time and i think a have managed to set the deadband for the tag to 0 in the "Tag configuration editor". The tag is a value from 0 to 32000, and i'm measuring a temperature, so the measuring changes all the time. 

The problem is that it is not reading the tag unless the tag value changes a specific amount. I thought that it was the deadband, but it's not it. When i use another client it works fine and it update all the time.

Thanks.

There is a deadband in two places. One for the tag and one for the I/O group. Double click on a tag. Go to the Connection tab. Press the Edit button under the I/O group name. Set the deadband value on the popup window to 0.

Thank you, that was the problem. Now it works perfect.
