How to display the date of the trend in different format?

[JasonLi]

I am working on the translation of an DAQFactory project. I found that the date format in the low left corner of the trend is always English. Can I change it to other formats i.e 2008.08.12?

No, unfortunately not. You could, however, put a panel or offwhite symbol component on top of it to blank it out, then use a variable value component to display the date in whatever format you want. Use the GetTime() function on the channel you are graphing to get the time, then the formatdatetime() function to format it (or just formatdate() which will use the Windows locale).
