On a read, values for the activity bit, the fault bit, and the overflow bit can be 0 or 1.
Typically, the value of each bit is 1 if a counter is active (activity bit), a fault occurred
(fault bit), or an overflow occurred (overflow bit). On a write, all three bits are set to
0.

Using the Hardware Options field in Database Manager, you can select a data type for
the process data stored by FIX/iFIX. The data type you select overrides the data type
of the associated datablock. If you do not select a data type, FIX/iFIX uses the
datablock’s data type. Similarly, you can only override the datablock’s data type
when it is BYTE or CHAR.
