       property and the actual
      AnalogVariable1
       variable by using
      EU Mode
      Localize
      .
      Dynamic link configuration for AnalogVariable1 with EU Mode menu expanded and Localize option selected.

  3. Create a complex dynamic link between the
    Text
     and

     with the use of a string formatter:
    String formatter node with two dynamic links: one referencing AnalogVariable1 and the other referencing its EngineeringUnits DisplayName. The format field combines both values using the pattern "{0} {1}".
