Time / date
Time / date| This
control element displays the time and the date. By default the
time is shown large in the first line and the date smaller
underneath. Alternatively only the time, only the date or both
values next to each other in a single line can be displayed. In
addition an image can be shown on the left. The displayed time is taken either from the linked addresses, from the controller or from the device the visualisation is running on. |
Display |
|
| Consider style | With this option the background and font colour are taken from the style settings. |
| Display | Defines which values are shown: "Time and date", "Time only" or "Date only". |
| Arrangement | When time and date are displayed: "Two lines" shows the time on top and the date underneath, "Single line" writes both values next to each other in one line. |
| Separator single line | Text that is inserted between time and date in the single line arrangement, for example a blank or " - ". |

Format |
|
| Format time | Format of the time, default %H:%M (result e.g. "10:45"). The available placeholders are listed below. |
| Format date | Format of the date, default %Y.%m.%d (result e.g. "2026.01.01"). |
| Height date | Share of the lower line of the total height in the two line arrangement. This defines the size ratio between time and date (default 35 %). |
Time source |
|
| Time source | Device
(default): The time of the device the visualisation is running on is
displayed. Addresses: The time is taken from the group addresses linked below. Controller: The time of the controller is displayed. As long as no value of the selected source is available - in edit mode, without a connection or before the first telegram - the time of the device is displayed. |
Image |
|
| Selection | Image that is shown to the left of the time display. Without a selection the whole area is used for the text. |
| Scaling | "Like control element" fills the area of the image completely, "Proportional" keeps the aspect ratio of the image. |
| Zoom | Size of the image, related to the height of the control element (100 % = square area over the full height). The text moves to the right by the used width. |
