    Hello
    Please understand that I am very new to all of this.
    Here is my problem:
    This project is to show a view of the tank level in % as well as the volume in litres
    I have an OPC server that is working well and I am able to get values from the various instruments that it polls.
    All that works fine and I can get value from a level instrument in % and get that to an input channel with a matching signal and I am able to display that in the view.
    Now I want to make another channel that uses a formula to calculate the volume based on the % from the level instrument I want to display the volume in the view.
    Can you please help me?????
    Regards
    Rita

    Thank you.
    To do a check, also I need screenshots of the decoded values and the configuration as I noticed above.

    Thank you. I think, you should tune the Modbus template in Communicator. You could also provide a screenshot of your template.

    Now ushort is selected that is always >= 0. To make possible negative values, switch to short. Then save the template and restart Communicator.
