STAMP data logger into database
Archiver

HELP!
· I am interested in using a stamp-based system for logging an event [noparse][[/noparse]simple on/off] versus real time. I then need to import the generated data into a database such as FOXPRO. I would appreciate any and all suggestions both as to designing the data logger, and transporting the stored data into a PC-based DB program. Thanks

We have an RS-232 data-logging software application at
http://www.rentron.com/ActiveX.htm that was specifically
designed for use with the BASIC Stamp.
If comes in two flavors:
1. As an ActiveX control ready to be dropped on a form in VB
2. A complete ready to run version.
It has full data-logging capabilities, and will log all incoming
serial data to a text file while simultaneously displaying the
incoming data on-screen
If you're leaning more to designing the complete application
yourself, pick up a copy of Jan Axelsons' "Serial Port Complete"
Jan is one of the "Best-In-The-Business", and her books are
second to none. She provides excellent code samples with
this book, and it pretty much covers all aspects of building
your own custom serial control/logging applications.
If you need more help, contact me off-list at:
webmaster@r... I have a list of software engineers
that we work with on occasion that can help you as well.

You could use the Stamp's native serial capability to "talk" to a PC app that
retrieves the data and writes to your db. Pretty simple app in a language
like Visual Basic.

One item you will probably need for datalogging is a Real-Time-Clock that works with the stamp.· We offer a great product that you might want to check out at www.technologykit.com· We have used our Real-Time-Clocks with data acquisition applications, and they worked great!· Let us know if we can be of further help.
