The second page contains data entry properties. These are as described for text tag primitives.
The third page is shown below…
• The Label Text property is used to define an optional label for the primitive.
• The Field Type property is used to indicate whether the field should display the
time, the date or both. In the last case, this property also indicates in which order
the two elements should be shown.
• The Time Format property is used to indicate whether 12-hour (civil) or 24-hour
(military) time format should be used. As with other properties, leaving this set
to Locale Default will allow Fieldbus Gateway Manager to pick a suitable format
according to the language selected within the Fieldbus Gateway.
• The AM Suffix and PM Suffix properties are used with 12-hour mode to indicate
the text to be appended to the time field in the morning and afternoon as
appropriate. If you leave the property undefined, Fieldbus Gateway Manager will
use a default.
• The Show Seconds property is used to indicate whether the time field should
include the seconds, or whether it should just comprise hours and minutes.
• The Date Format property is used to indicate the order in which the various date
elements (ie. date, month and year) should be displayed.
• The Show Month property is used to indicate whether the month should be
displayed as digits (ie. 01 through 12) or as its short name (ie. Jan though Dec).
• The Show Year property is used to indicate whether the date field should include
the year, and if so, how many digits should be shown for that element.
