binary coded decimal

[Randall1]

I have a plc that stores data in memory as a BCD. When I set up Lookout to read the memory location it converts it to a decimal number. how can I prevent this?

Randall1,

I have some example code that shows you how to convert the number back from decimal to BCD. It requires Lookout 4.0.1 build 51 or higher.

Thanks Michael

I think this is what I'm looking for.

How do I accomplish this with a DirectLogic DL205?
I am new to Lookout, but I can't get this working correctly. Any help appreciated.
