piconfig sends all table values as strings. When sent to the snapshot (archive values go via the snapshot), it is interpreted as follows:
For a string tag
-
Use the incoming string without change.
For a digital tag:
-
Look for a state in the tag's state set.
-
Look for a state in the System digital set.
-
Interpret the string as a numeric offset and check if within range of the tag's set.
For all other tag types:
-
Look for a state in the System digital set.
-
Convert the string to a value of the tag's type.
