    Use some kind of terminal emulator like HyperTerm. They all have "capture" modes where they copy their input to a text file which you can import into Notepad. I don't have any specific alternative names for Windows since I use the MacOS and programs like MacWise and ZTerm.

    You can also copy and paste from the DEBUG window.

    Mike,

    Thanks for the reply.· I have a question on the terminal emulators.· Would these programs automatically send the data to a notepad file, or would·I have to manually cut and paste?· I downloaded· PuTTy·and am unable to achieve·what·I want. I have not tried Hyper term becuase its not installed on my·PC and I ·have net found a free version.· Do you have any other suggestions?·

    I used to have an old Windows 3.1 terminal emulator and it had a "capture" file menu item as do the MacOS terminal emulators I now use. When you enabled that, it would ask you for a file name and everything received after that point would go into the designated file until you disabled it.

    You can also use Parallax's free PLX DAQ software to import Stamp output directly into Excel. From there, if you need the data in Notepad instead, you're just a copy and paste or "save-as-a-text file" away.

    Docklight, free version at: http://www.docklight.de/·, is an excellent terminal program and has extensive logging capabilities (will save to .txt and .htm files).

    There is an open source language based on Java but much easier to program call processing freely available at www.processing.org . This site has examples of reading serial data from microcontrollers like BS2 and arduino and then saving them as txt files.
