You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which
file is being referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted.
If the file_type is I, O or S, the file_number does not need to be
specified, but the file_element must be specified. If the file_type is not
one of the three special files, the file_number must be specified and
the file_element may default to zero (because the input, output and
status files have fixed numbers).
When defining your custom tag, consider the following:

Tag Item Description
#elements If not specified, this defaults to one. If it is less than one,
also defaults to one. Each element is output using the same
format (whether specified with %format or defaulted). Any
associated comment is displayed only for the first element.
%format Legal values are %b for binary, %d for decimal, %0 for
octal and %x for hexadecimal. The following file types
allow the format to be specified:
•
Input
•
Output
•
Status
•
Integer
All other file types are displayed in an appropriate format.
!comment Data after the exclamation point and up to the closing > is
displayed in the Comment column of the monitor.
Fixed display formats Float files are always output in floating point format
(“C”%g format). String files are always output as a null
terminated text string. Binary files are always output as
four binary nibbles. Complex data types (Timer, Counter,
Control or other data files) are output as a table with bits
and important words specified.
