PI Interface for OPC DA

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.
