Unfortunately, it currently is not possible to remove some of the columns
if you are plotting to LPT1. You do have formatting options if you are printing
a daily report (File->Print->Alarms and Events).
There is a workaround since you can't format the columns. It is in depth,
but I have included it in case it is very important for you application.
You can use ASCII Object to print text to LPT ports. So, construct your
ASCII Request frame the way you want the output to be formatted and include
the $Alarm.Message. For example, your RequestFormat connection may look
like: 'RequestFormat = "Here's an Alarm " & $Alarm.Message'
Then, use the Send datamember of the ASCII Object to send this formatted
text to LPT port on occurrence by connecting it to '$Alarm.active>0'.
You
may have to 'AND' this with a pulse timer to accomodate for multiple alarms.
