Tag output formatting in FactoryTalk View

[garbagegasman 0]

Okay so the situation is as follows. I have FactoryTalk View 7 installed and running my SCADA at one of our locations now. I have a Daniels gas chromatagraph running at the location and I am not only pulling the gas percentages from it but also a time of last run output. Currently this output displays in the format HHMMSS to show the time of the last sample in 24 hour time format, I would like to format this output on the screen to show as HH:MM:SS. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Is the value an integer, or a String ? If it's an integer, you might be able to make an expression to parse out each element as a two-digit integer (divide by 10,000, divide by 100, etc) but there will be a bunch of careful adjustment for rounding. If it's a string, you'll probably want to handle it in the PLC.
