Specify time, date, and number formats

Time, date, and number formats are used by these graphic objects:

Numeric display

Gauge

Time and date display

Trend

Alarm banner

Alarm list

The time and date formats are also used when printing the alarm history report (using the
Print Alarm History button). The numeric and time and date embedded variables also use
number, time, and date formats.

All objects use the time, date, and number formats of the current application language. For
example, if the application language uses a comma for the decimal symbol, numeric
variables use a comma for the decimal symbol.

For information about using multiple languages, see Chapter 12.

Use the DeskLock tool

Use the DeskLock tool to prevent users from switching to another software application or
having access to the desktop at run time.

This tool can have far-reaching effects on your operating system. The DeskLock tool can
replace the standard Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7,
Windows Server 2008, and Windows Vista non-configured desktop with a customized
desktop. The customized desktop is intended to prevent operators from having access to
other applications and operating system functions such as restarting Windows or shutting
down tasks. You can also use the tool to set up an automatic Windows logon and to
specify options such as which software applications are allowed or not allowed to run on
the computer.

Before using the tool, read the DeskLock Help completely.
