WinCC control date formats

gnook Posts: 42 Rating: (1)	Maybe a no brainer here but any help would be appreciated: - All of my trend viewers and alarm viewers insist on presenting the date in US format (mm/dd/yy) while everywhere else I can use european format (dd/mm/yy). Does anyone know how to get the date on trend and alarmcontrols to display in the european format? Rgrds Gnook

Assuming you are using an English operating system you should: Open Control Panel /Regional and Language Options On the Regional Options tab set the top drop-down box to English(US) Press the Customize... button Select the Date tab Change the Short Date drop-down box to the format you require, e.g. dd-mmm-yyyy IMPORTANT: For English operating systems, WinCC only supports English(US) and not English(UK). Do not changeyour regional settings to English(UK) as this can interfere with the operation of WinCC. Hope this helps, Salma
