Hi All!
I recently had a customer request a way to print to paper the previous 8 hours of new alarms.
This doesn't seem that challenging, but it does require a few different pieces to dance together. Has anyone in the group ever had a similar customer request? If you have, would you mind sharing your methodology?
If I was doing this from scratch, I'd use the alarm summary export to create an XML file, then, I'd consider using python to parse the elements of the tree into a text file, and it's possible to print that right to a printer from the classic windows command prompt using the print command.
If anyone has a need for this method, I can share partial source code for parsing XML in python- I'd rather not re-invent the wheel if I don't need to.
Many thanks,
Bruce Schaller
