[foxboro] Time displayed on DM/FV

Some asked me if it might be possible to remove the time and data from the
DM/FV display and I can't remember who it was. This is in reference to DST,
of course.

There is a way to do this. However, it should be pointed out that unless the
CAD is changed to match, the operator's will still see the wall-time vs.
machine time offset on the CAD.



Anyway, if it was someone on this list, here's the answer:

There is a dm command, time_date_bar, that will remove the time and date
from the FV screen.  It's described in B0193DF Display Commands user
document.
 
------------------------------------------
Use: Displays or removes the time and date bar.

Syntax: time_date_bar on | off

where:

on enables display of the time and date bar.

off disables display of the time and date bar.

Remarks: This command displays or removes the time and date bar in FoxView.

The time and date bar contains the time and date fields in the upper right

corner of the FoxView window.

-----------------------------------------------------------
 
This command can be added to the .env file(s) and the FV will not display
the time or date.  Is this what you're looking for?
