Re: [foxboro] Extracting Alarm History to ASCII File

There is a free utility that does just that (alarms printed to an ASCII
file), providing you are using a Unix workstation and legacy historian:

It isn't one of the best or greatest things out there for this, but it
works, and what do you expect for free?

We put an old windows pc in place of the alarm printer and use the =

terminal program to save all the alarms to a text file.
