[foxboro] Alarm Capture

 
Is there a user option to configure the alarm printouts in Fox I/A  ? 

The alarm printing format is embedded somewhere in the base software . 

We have tested various alarm capture packages to convert the alarm text dump
to useful data, 

but so far we could not come up with a perfect solution . There are ways to
extract the alarms 

from the Alarm History using AIM*AT packages , but this is not good
replacement for the 

real-time alarm printers . At the same time , alarms captured from a printer
port does not 

contain alarm priority , which is an important information for analysis. 

Is there a way to customize the format in which the alarm printers print ?
Can we include 

the alarm priority as well in the printout ? How does the printer recognize
1st priority alarms 

and print them in a different color ? If this is a printer command, could we
extract this 

information from the COM ports ?
