Is there a way to view the OPC Item Path? I am using the IALABS Scripting Module to add a new tag with an analog alert but I need to bind the OPCItemPath to a referenced tag.

I’ve successfully ran the following script to bring in a lot of other data for a group of tags but I need to select one tag in particular and get the OPCItemPath from it.

tags = system.tag.browseTags("[provider]folder")  
for tag in tags:  
print tag.name, tag.path, tag.fullPath, tag.isFolder(), tag.isUDT(), tag.isOPC(), tag.isDB(), tag.type

Yes, you can do the following:`path = system.tag.getAttribute("Path/To/Tag", "OPCItemPath")`
