Hello. I’m using the Omron Fins Driver and need to address many tags in the PLC that are stored in BCD format. I notice in the Ignition manual that the Siemens driver and Modbus driver have functionality for BCD in the address formatting so that tags can be automatically converted for display in decimal and written back to the PLC as BCD. Is this possible with the Omron FINS addressing?  
Thank you!

BCD16 and BCD32 are both valid datatypes in the FINS driver: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Omron+FINS+Driver#OmronFINSDriver-Addressing](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Omron+FINS+Driver#OmronFINSDriver-Addressing)

I read that part of the manual several times and somehow missed that little chart. I just tried it and it works perfectly. Fantastic! Thank you very much for the quick response.
