FAQ: Decimal values are no longer accepted in the Service Engine under specific circumstances.

Under specific circumstances it may no longer be possible to enter decimal values with either "." or "," in the Service Engine, e.g. in the RGM recipes.

This can happen when on the PC in the regional settings the decimal and thousands separator (digit grouping symbol) are switched and occurs after in the zenon HTML screen a PDF file has been opened. This issue only occurs when Adobe Acrobat Reader version 10 is installed on a Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Windows 8. It does not occur when Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 or 11 is used.

Reverting back the changes made to the decimal separator and thousands separator (digit grouping symbol) and restarting the Service Engine also provides a permanent workaround for this issue.
