The device I am reading data from with the Modbus TCP driver uses a lot of swapped floats (2 16 bit words but swapped), any idea if that’s possible to read with the current Modbus OPC driver? ---

If you click “[edit]” in the device configuration area and then check “Show advanced categories?” you will see there is a boolean property called “Reverse Numeric Word Order”. If you check this then all 32-bit values will have their words swapped, including floats. Unfortunately if you want only your floats swapped or only specific floats, this won’t work. ---
