Set number formats by regional locales

The format of numbers varies by country. In the United States, a period represents the decimal point of an analog number and a comma is the thousand separator. In other countries, the purpose of the characters may be different. Germany uses a comma to represent the decimal point and a period to represent the thousand separator.

Industrial graphic numeric values can display thousands and decimal separators that match the numeric format of the country specified as the Home location of the computer running an HMI/SCADA application.
