How to specify Data Type in Wonderware InTouch

I have a tag defined as an Integer. It is seen by TOP Server as a negative number, but in Wonderware InTouch, it is displayed as an unsigned integer. How can I "force" the data type to be signed?

If the tag is defined in the TOP Server tag database, you simply change the data type in the tag properties to the type you need.

When you enter the PLC file address in your Wonderware InTouch tag, simply append the address with an '@' symbol, followed by the data type, e.g. N7:0@short ... would return an integer forced to a "short" format.
