Get Tag scale mode

Ignition
1

Hello,

I'm doing a script to export a bunch of tag and eventually write an excel file that will be imported in Pi.

I use system.tag.browse to get the list of tags. Then with system.tag.readBlocking I'm getting the opcitempath.

But some tags are scaled. How can I read the tag Scale Mode? Not that the Scale Mode can be overwritten from the original UDT.

Thanks.

Try appending ".scaleMode" to the tag path and passing it to system.tag.readBlocking.

Consider using system.tag.query() instead of system.tag.browse(). Include all of the properties of interest in your query dictionary. Then you don't need a follow-up system.tag.readBlocking(), and the whole thing will run blistering fast.

It's not working. I tried both scaleMode and ScaleMode...

I'll take a look at the Phil's idea.

The designer's tag report tool will write the beginning of the script for you. Literally.

Thank you Phil. This is the way to go.

I think I'll never user system.tag.browser again...
