Kepware Configuration API Datatypes Conversion

Hi all,

 

I have been experimenting with the Kepware Configuration API, specifically creating tags.

 

I see that the data types in the API (EX: "servermain.TAG_DATA_TYPE": 21) are integer form, but I am unable to find a table that shows which data type converts to which integer, and when I create a tag without putting in a data type in the content it doesn't seem to automatically get the correct data type.

 

Anyone know what integers correlate to which data types? 

Thanks!
