Gentlemen:
If you have not downloaded StampDAQ from Parallax you are missing out on a
fantastic program - for free!!
I am presently using this program to read a display in REAL TIME three ADC
readings at high speed. In fact, it is practically a digital scope. If you
are fairly good with ADCs and with Excel you will find this program
fascinating.
The possibilities are endless - monitoring pressure, voltage, temperature or
what have you.
Try it out - www.parallaxinc.com, seach for "StampDAQ".
I have no connection at all with Parallax - I just know something good when I
see it.

I am familiar with the basic stamp.. I just ordered a bs2p24 for use
at work ( I am introducing the POWER of the Stamp to my co-workers!)
and I am interested in using StampDAQ. My question is if anyone know
if there is a way to have time-stamping in EXCEL that has a better
resolution than .1 seconds? I want to record the response of a
system for use in PID tuning and I want to have a speed vs. time
graph for which I will need to get the time in mS if possible.
Thanks,
J. Manning
and send the data yourself -- perhaps just as an offset to the intial reading.

That is what I thought. Quick question: Should the example StampDAQ
program stream data into the excel spreadsheet? I just installed it
and it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
Thanks,

For Jay
I have made some changes to the Excel format which you might like. When you
get your answers from Jon drop me an e-mail.

How do I set the baud rate to something higher than 9600? Is this possible and
will doing so help me gain program speed/loop time?
Thanks,

Here is a sample.
Create a command button on your excel form then past in this function
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
i = InputBox("Enter a larger number for the delay", "", 1000000)
s = Timer
For x = 0 To i
'simple delay
Next
e = Timer
MsgBox (" start = " & s & vbCrLf & " end = " & e & vbCrLf &
"elapsed = " & e - s)
End Sub

I don't think it's possible in Excel. You could attach an RTC to your BS2p

TIMER. This will place into a cell the time in seconds (to 3 decimal
places) since the last connection, and may be reset through software
using the directive of TIMER_RESET. It is NOT midnight friendly
(don't collect data from before to after midnight).
The file is posted at: (with sample code in the spreadsheet)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/basicstamps/files/StampDAQ/
(StampDAQ with Timer.xls)
Save locally before using.
Also note, the time will only be accurate if your computer is fast
enough to process the data AS it arrives.
Open to more good suggestions that many may benefit from for an
update to StampDAQ in the future.
As far as baud rate, do you mean changing it on the Stamp side or the
StampDAQ side? On the Stamp, see SEROUT in your user manual or help
files.

StampDAQ interface in Excel. However, no data appears. These error
messages popped up: "MS Visual Basic - errors occurred during load"
and "compile error - sub or function not defined".
Ctrl-S did not generate the data.
any hints would be helpful.
thanks.
Office/Excel 2000.

I too have problems with the stampDAQ, I don't get any error
messages but I don't have any data displayed. I have excel 2000.
Thanx.
test? (or an abbreviated version if very long?).
Thanks,
