Re: [foxboro] Extracting Alarm History to ASCII File

Search the Helpful Hints for alarm history.  There is a small script that
will convert the alarm history file to a readable ASCII format.  This file
is 'circular', that is, it is a fixed maximum length containing alarm
messages so even after it is converted there can be duplicate alarms in
several days worth of files.  This depends entirely upon the number of
messages.  The frequency you run the script will determine how many
duplicates you save each day.  Sorry I don't have the HH number handy but I
used it and it does the trick.
