2: Click the ellipse to access the galaxy browser. Navigate to the InTouch Tag Browser tab, locate the desired InTouch application and tagname - as highlighted below:

 

3: Save and close the graphic.  Build logic to call the graphic from the InTouch application, when the A2 graphic is open it is accessing the intouch memory tagname (in the example above $second).
