Hi, I mean we are using the "imac" application of course on standard XP PC machine. The foxboro system is looking to this machine as a "serial printer". We use the imac PC for alarms storage and data analysis. The 2 lines per message appear on the imac applic on 2 seperate lines. It is better to have the plant alarms in only 1 line format. This will be easier for analysis.

We use the 'imac' application (nothing to do with iMac and very confusing) on a standard PC-NT and don't have any problems with the 2 lines per message (they appear on the imac applic on 2 seperate lines if the imac applic is set-up correctly). We export data from the imac applic to ms-access for further analyses. We have written some special vba code to get the 2 lines message into a 1 record format. It will do this for the standard Fox. alarm messages and for the system monitor messages. Regards, P. Martens Total Raff.

So I want to get plant alarms one line on the serial printer output.
