Automatic optimization

In addition to when the interface starts up and loads all of the configured tags, there may be events in which new output tags are added or obsolete tags are removed while the interface is already running. In all of these cases the interface will attempt to maintain optimization. For example, if a new tag is added and it has a data offset that would be contiguous with the offsets of related tags in an existing tag group it will be added to that group. In addition, if adding the tag to an existing tag group would then make that tag group contiguous with another tag group, the tag groups will be merged together as long as the total number of tags will not exceed the maximum number of tags allowed in a group. Conversely, if a tag is removed, it will cause the tag group that it was a member of to be broken up into two different tag groups.
