Set up print options for a Print Alarm History button

At run time, the operator presses a Print Alarm History button to print the contents of the alarm history.

Tip:

  • You cannot print the alarm history and the alarm status at the same time.
  • You can print alarms in landscape mode with a line printer, but only one alarm is printed per page.
  • If you set up alarm messages in multiple languages, all messages, trigger labels and times are printed in the current application language.
