Add a BasicLabel next to the gage with PLCAddressValue set to the same address as the gage to show what the value should be.

I was thinking to add the BasicLabel in order to see the real value is in the PLC because the tank does post processing on the value. I was going to try to replicate the values you have.

I think I know what was happening  , I was also using a seven digit display for the same PLC address with a number like 571 with a decimal place showing 57.1 but the same number in the gauge puts it over the scale max of 70  A scale factor of .1 would make it display within the range is this correct.

Sorry man, should have noticed this earlier
