I'm using a UDC counter to count the amount of good product a machine is turning out. I have to display this number on the HMI (EZTouch panel). What is the data format for the UDC counter? I think it is in HEX correct? If so then I would need my tag to be an unsigned integer and number box setup for a hex number. I need the UDC becuase of the ability to count past 9999. This machine is capable of producing 300 parts-per-minute so the UDC should work fine. Am I on the right track? Thanks in advance.

I believe most of the timers and counters are in Binary Coded Decimal. I have used the BCD choice on some EZ touch projects in the past to look at the UDC values for a similar application.
