Dialog 3.1 can't read DATE data type

I've verified on several devices that Dialog 3.1 can't read data types of type "date". Configurator 3.1 can read this data type, FYI. Has this been fixed in 3.2?

Hello,

 

NI-FBUS Dialog Utility has limitation on the display of  DATE type. For the date later than 2000, if the year value is represented by two digits, Dialog Utility can not it in correct date format.

Only three digits representation of year value is supported.

 

For example:

For year 1999, if the year value is 99, it can be correctly displayed.

For year 2008, if the year value is 08, it can not be displayed. If the year value is 108 (year 2000 is 100), it can be correctly displayed.

 

I am sorry that Dialog Utility 3.2 still has this limitation. But we do have realized that this problem will bring inconvenience to the users.  It will be fixed in next version of NI-FBUS software. I will inform you if there is any update.
