Time and date formats
Time and date embedded variables use the time and date formats you set up on the run-
time computer. For example, if the time and date variable shows the short date, at run time
the variable will use the short date format set up for the run-time computer.
How embedded variables are updated at run time
How an embedded variable is updated at run time depends on the type of variable and
where it is embedded:
 In caption text, title bar text, and local messages, numeric or string embedded
variables that use tag values are updated whenever a new tag value is read from the
data source.
Embedded variables that use tags are also updated when the graphic display is loaded
into the cache, using the Always Updating option. For information about setting up
display caching, see “Setting up displays to open more quickly” on page 16-50.
 In tooltips on graphic objects, numeric or string embedded variables that use tag
values are updated only when the graphic display containing the object is opened.
Embedded variables that use tags in tooltips will not update dynamically, while the
display is running.
 Time and date embedded variables are updated as the system time and date change.
