Hi.  
I am wondering if there is anyway to create a tag in ignition of a real array.  
This is the issue I have. In my PLC I have an array of 500 real values and I need to display them on a table in Ignition. But I cannot link my array tag from the PLC. I changed the data type on the tag editor on ignition to Float Array but still doesn't let me link the total array. I can do it one by one but there are 500 and need to set 4 arrays.  
So, Is there anyway to do this?  
Thanks.

It depends on the OPC UA server and, if it's our server, what driver you are using. Can you tell us more?

If you don’t need them as tags then you can use `system.opc.readValues()`
