Canvas does not include a dedicated object for displaying the date and time on the device. However, a date and time string can be displayed using a system tag in conjunction with a Text object. To create the system tag, click the New Tag icon in the Tag Editor. Next, in the Edit Tag window, click the pencil icon to open the I/O Address Editor window. Under the Type drop-down menu, select System, then select Datetime String under the Value drop-down menu and click OK.
Once you have finished creating the tag, draw a text box on a page. Click on the newly created text box, then open the Property Editor and find the Text property and click the binding Icon. Select the previously created tag and press OK. The text box object will now display a string that contains both the date and time data from the Xpanel.
