Date and Time
Format Settings in this area determine how time is displayed in FactoryTalk
Historian ProcessBook. Previews of each format are shown to help
you select the desired option.
 The Use local Windows format option uses the current Regional
Options settings in the Windows Control Panel on the client
machine to determine how dates and times are displayed. Dates
are shown using the currently configured Short Date format and
Times are shown using the current time format settings.

The Use FactoryTalk Historian Time Format option displays
timestamps in the default FactoryTalk Historian format of dd-
mmm-yy HH:mm:ss.ssss, where dd is the day of the month, mmm
is a the short text abbreviation of the month name (e.g., Jan for
January), yy is the two digit year, HH is the hour in 24-hour
format, mm is the minute and ss.sss is the second, including sub-
seconds, if present.
Default Time Zone Determines whether timestamps reflect the time zone of the
FactoryTalk Historian server used to retrieve data (FactoryTalk
Historian server time zone), or the time zone of the local
computer (Client machine time zone), when a new display is
created. By default, the FactoryTalk Historian server option is selected
when FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook is first installed on a
computer. This setting can also be changed and is stored with each
display.
