Transient dataset time values are displayed in the Time Step window using either a relative time format (e.g., 100.0) or an absolute date/time format (e.g., 1/12/2006 3:23:48).

When the display format is set to Absolute Date/Time, a date/time is shown in the Time Step window. The date and time format can also be specified.
- Relative Time
When the display format is set to Relative Time, the days, hours, minutes, and seconds from the dataset reference time is shown in the Time Step window. The display format for days, hours, minutes, and seconds can be specified. If a decimal format is chosen, the precision can also be specified.
