Is it possible to use the fpmi.gui.show numeric keypad to send set point data to more than one sql tag at a time?

Certainly, the fpmi.gui.showNumericKeypad returns a value that you can use in fpmi.tag.writeToTag. Here is an example:`value = fpmi.gui.showNumericKeypad(0)
fpmi.tag.writeToTag("Path1", value)
fpmi.tag.writeToTag("Path2", value)`

Travis made a few spelling mistakes, Ill fix

`value = system.gui.showNumericKeypad(0)
system.tag.writeToTag("Path1", value)
system.tag.writeToTag("Path2", value)`
