Tdms file language question

[vicadexo]

Hi,

I have a program that will create & write to a tdms file.

The naming of the file involving using Format Date/Time String Function to return the date & time zone.

For example,

abc_date_time PM.tdms

abc_date_time AM.tdms

If a PC is using Chinese to display character, the tdms file will be in chinese character for the word PM & AM instead including the content.

I cannot properly read & load the file from my program.

Anyone can enlighten me?

How do I resolve if one were to prefer to use other PC language?

The nuances of applications that operate across multiple languages may be beyond me, but in this case, would a solution using a 24 hour time be better than formatting your file name string with a localizable character?

<abc>_<YYYY><MM><DD>_<%H><%M>.tdms
