Event Viewer Date Format

Admin
I have created a screen with a event viewer but the date is in the US format I have edited the BIN file to correct the date format to the UK style but the Event viewer still displays the date in the US format I am using version 7.1 SP1 and the OS is XP Pro
has any one else had this problem
  • Yeah, I've got this problem... its fairy low on my todo list, hopefuly there is an easy solution
  • Hi,

    By 'edited the BIN file' I assume you mean you have edited 'Program Settings.ini' to contain:

    [International]
    Order=DMY

    The other thing you can do is to set the Indusoft date format in the application 'Startup Script' similar to:

    'Set Australian date-format
    $SetDateFormat( "/", "DMY" )

    I do both.
    I've just checked, and my alarms do have the correct UK/Australian date format.

    Despite the date format change, you may find that the format of earlier alarms does not change. Looking directly at the Indusoft alarm records in the alarm folder, it looks like dates are saved as a text string at the time the delay is recorded. If required, you might have to correct old records manually ... or simply delete them.

    Regards,

  • Actually .... I just checked some event recording I'd put in place .... and it does have dates in US format. So it looks like the Event date format is fixed.

    I hadn't noticed this as I don't display them anywhere, and am only recording them as a debug facility ... which I haven't actually made use of yet.

    Sorry about that.
