Does Ignition support PID data file type in PLC-5? I don’t see “PD” folder in the Tag Editor under the device. A little bird told me that Ignition had hold off supporting PD data file type. Just wondering if that is still the case.

Still the case, unfortunately. These old drivers only receive enough attention to keep them working as is.
