time stamp

[Opt_Ottawa]

Hi,

I noticed an interesting case of using timestamp. I create my applicaiton in Window XP English version. When installed the created installer in French version, the generated current time has different order. In english version, it is month/date/year by default, but on the PC with French version, it is Date/Month/Year. Does any one have any idea on how to fix it? How could I find out the window version is french or English?

Thanks,

Ott

The data itself does not change, only the representation is changed.

By default the representation is a local one (%z), to get a system independent time representation have a look at  the Time format codes.

LabVIEW timestamp representations default to the SYSTEM time display format.  just change either the system settings OR create a strict type def that specifies the desired representation.

Thanks.

By the wy, I checked the Data and Time setting in the control panel. They are the same.

Where should I make the change?

Thanks,

You will need to make a strict type def to hold the display style.  Then replace each time stamp front pannel object with the type def.
