Best way to throttle display of data on Perspective screen?

Ignition

Assuming there is a tag changing at a rate of 100ms. On a perspective screen, I want to display this value, but at a slower rate. What is the best way to go about this?

My first thought is to bind the perspective element to the expression “now(1000)” and then include in a transform script to perform a tag.read() function and return the value. A more dynamic approach would be “now( tag( [pathToTagWithDisplayRate] ) )”

Other thoughts?

Hi @321liftoff, I use the same method. But I’d also be interested to see if there is a different way.

I think your way seems like a reasonable way. It is a good question and seems like a common use case. Wonder if there’s anything in the works regarding this.
