Tag Value with .FormatString

Ignition
1

Simple binding to Lbl.Text from [Default]TE155:

  • in the Tag Browser the tag shows 96 f.
  • The FormatString field '##0 f'

Is there a property to get the formatted value of the tag?

Unfortunately, not. I generally set up a few custom properties wherever I need to get a formatted value, each with an indirect binding to one of the properties I will need to build out the label's text property (e.g. value, formatString, engUnit, etc), then use an expression binding to bring them together.

It's a bit different from Vision, where Vision binds a format expression for you instead of just the value as in Perspective.
