-===Converting Raw Data===
 Normally you will read a value from a PLC, Database, OPCServer, etc. and use this value directly to set an ID value. For example, read a PLC register as an integer and set this value to a U4 (unsigned integer) type VID by selecting the Device Server and Tag for the VID. However, if you need to do a conversion on the raw data read from the data source, this can be done by scripting, calculating a new value, then setting this new value to the VID. Be sure that the VID type is defined for this calculated value.

 For this example we have added a String VID called "ProcessStatus" to the ModbusPLCTool. We have added a Modbus 4X register to read an integer value from the PLC. We will convert the value read from the Modbus 4X register to a String and write this value to the ProcessStatus VID. This code is entered in the Modbus 4X register's script.
