According to the manual:

Specifying D6850 yields the signed 16-bit value, which your tag is configured to then store as a string. You need D<string7>6850 to pick up the null-terminated string starting at offset 6850.

Sorry, do we need to do this settings in Ignition tag properties or also in PLC side.

On both sides. The protocol doesn't have any data types other than the defaults, so both sides have to agree to treat those registers as character data. The PLC appears to be treating three consecutive registers as six characters (but not null terminated), so that part is good.

Any other multi-word use of registers similarly has to agree on both sides.
