set value 5000 on float16 becomes 4999.68 - spyder - 27.08.2021
Can you help?
I defined a group object of type float16 (09. 2 byte floating point).
When I set the value (manually or via /cgi-bin/scada-remote/request.cgi) to 5000, I get 4999.68.
There are no event scripts attached to the group object.
I am running on:
HW: Reactor v2 (i.MX28)
SW: 20200720
What am I doing wrong?

float16 has limited precision so you can't get 5000 precisely. If possible use float32 or int16.
