the figure we selected KEPware.KEPServerEx for the Kepware OPC Server

Software. In addition, we expanded Channel 1 to show PointScan104 and its

associated tags (Temp1 and Temp2); as well as PointScan204 (not shown in its
entirety) to show its associated channel tags (Temp3 and Temp4). You would

need to scroll down to see Temp3 and Temp4.

currently being configured.
In our example tags will be assigned to channels as follows:
