Changing the time format using the lexicon

Using the lexicon to change the time format, including the time zone, sets the default for all users. This procedure documents how to configure the time format.

Workbench and station should be running.
  1. Click Tools > Lexicon Tool on the menu bar.
    The Lexicon Report displays all lexicons currently installed in the Workbench. Since English is the default language, its two-digit code does not appear initially in the Lexicon list. Before you can change its time format you must add it to the list.

  2. To add the English lexicon, click New Lexicon.
    The New Lexicon window opens.

  3. Enter the English two-digit code, en in the Name property and click OK.
    The system adds the English two-digit code to the existing lexicon list in alphabetical order.
  4. In the Lexicon Report view, choose the Lexicon language from the Lexicon list.
    The list of Modules populates in the right pane showing information about each module.

  5. Click the menu in the upper right corner of the view and select Lexicon Editor.
    The Lexicon Editor view opens with a list of existing key pair values for the lexicon you selected.

  6. Select the baja module, enter timeFormat (case sensitive) in the Search Text property and click Find Next.
    The editor selects the timeFormat key and populates the Key and Default properties below the table.
  7. In the Value property, enter the desired time format and click Update Value.
    The red dot next to the key changes to green.

  8. Click the Save icon () on the toolbar.
    This updates the timeFormat file of the baja module for the selected language.
  9. To see the time values in the updated time format, restart the station.
    The new time format appears in table views and histories.
