If you leave the <code>LOGINNAME</code> field empty, the client tries to authenticate against the OSIPI server with <code>[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.webclient.usedefaultcredentials WebClient.UseDefaultCredentials]</code>. Should this be the authentication of your choice, be aware that the Ubik Studio/Enterprise Service/Web Service needs to be started as that user that has access to the PI system.

The OSIPI Plugin delivers the correctly formatted value in the Live Value Attributes collection, which can be [[Live_Values#Binding_to_Attributes|bound to directly from XAML]].
The [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.cultureinfo value formatting culture] can be set in the '''OSIPI_SERVER''' configuration with the <code>FORMATTING_CULTURE</code> field, which defaults to <code>EN_US</code>. There's also an option to trim leading zeroes (<code>TRIM_LEADING_ZEROES</code>, defaulting to <code>false</code>).
This functionality is available in Ubik.Server 3.5.x as well, however, the fields <code>FORMATTING_CULTURE</code> and <code>TRIM_LEADING_ZEROES</code> are not generated automatically. They got added with 3.6.0.
