I saw someone else propose this, and I'd like to second the motion: I'm doing a series of bar graphs that reference a y-axis scale of parts per hour. The hourly production target changes based on the size of part being run. I want the scale to display 7 values, from 0 to 120% of current target, in 20% increments. I need real numbers, not percentages. Currently, I take the target value in my PLC, work the math to generate the increments, and send all 6 non-zero values to the Cmore panel. This seems wasteful. If a Cmore numerical indicator could do a simple equation, I could send only the target value, and the others would scale themselves. We 're not talking advanced algebra here. "Scale_100% * 0.2 ", "0.4 ", "0.6 ", etc. This would be a really useful feature for a future release. I cannot accomplish it at all with the current scaling scheme. Thanks, TM

Thanks for the feedback we take it all very seriously.

I second this motion too!

Would like to see minimal math functions also.
I'm specifically interested in summing two tag values and putting the result in another tag.
