Gathering data

Archiver

How does one go about getting data from the stamp into a program like excel?· Or how can you have the computer ask for data from the stamp?

You could use hyperterminal to read the information into your pc and then save the file. If you put a comma "," sign after each byte, you can then save the file as a "MyData.csv" file which will open in any almost any spreadsheet. The ".csv" stands for "comma separated values" which separates each byte into the next cell.
Send a carriage return "cr" (13) from the stamp to move the data to the next row in the spreadsheet. You could also write a program using MSComm control in visual basic to gather the data.

Chris
