I have a tag that is being rounded in Ignition and I do not know how to get it to read with significant figures. When the PLC is at 3.4 Ignition reads 3 and when PLC is at 3.5 Ignition reads 4. I need Ignition to read exactly what the PLC tag is reading without rounding. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/6/1689b46420d41db77c5a7eb5d172e57bb88bd400.png) ---

Check your tag configuration. Is the tag configured to be a float or an Int? Is there any scaling applied to the tag? ---

Thanks Ryan. That did the trick. I've been struggling with this software. Seems like the most relevant properties are always the most well hidden.
