    Allow OPC DA  Output Tags to capture OOO events

    Currently there is no way to send corrected values to the OPC DA Server since they are triggered by snapshot. It would be useful if there was a way to alter the values that get sent in case there are substituted/replaced values.

    Convert incoming string data to float and provide division all in the same tag instead of a PE
