    If you use Hyperterminal instead of the debug screen, you can capture the data to an Excel file, where you can graph it, analyze it, or do anything with it you want to.· The debug screen MUST be closed before you open Hyper.

    Sid,

    · If I want to get data from the hyper terminal (off of a stamp), can I use serout, and just match the baud rates and parity?



    thanks

    Yes.· When you set up the Hyper connection, be sure it connects to whatever Comport your Stamp is on.· One more thing, Hyper does not recognize "cr" for a carriage return.· You will have to write:

    SEROUT 16, pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]data, 10, 13]

    10 and 13 are the ASCII characters for Line Feed and Carriage Return.· If you have any problems let me know.· I have used this procedure for years to capture data to Excel and have taught several people how to do it.· Excel can handle up to 65,000 rows and over 52 columns of data.

    Sid, Hyperterminal can add line feeds, it is an option:

    File/Properties/Settings/ASCII Setup/Append line feeds to incoming line ends

    I like to make it an option in my PBASIC programs too, with a bit flag. LF is sent if the flag is 1 or not sent if the flag is zero. That uses the "REP" modifier for DEBUG or SEROUT

    DEBUG "hello",CR,REP LF\LFb

    I know, Tracy.· I'm not sure how familiar he is with setting up Hyper so I just included it in the serout statement to make things easier for him.

    Sid,
    I have been using the code you sent on how to get hyperterminal to do a carriage return. Thank you. You said you have been using hyperterminal to write to excel files. Could you explain how to do that?

    thanks,

    Agentile, here you are:

    Stamp Off.

    Open Excel.· Create a file.· Put a title of some sort at the top.· Save as a text file, data.prn.· .prn specifies a file delimited by spaces.· Close Excel.

    Open Hyper.· Click on Transfer/Capture text.· Browse to find the data.prn file you created.· Click on Capture.

    Stamp on.· Everything you see on the Hyper screen will be captured to the data.prn file.· When you have the data you want captured, click on Transfer/Stop.

    Close Hyper.· Stamp off.· Open Excel, click on data.prn.· You will be taken to a special screen where you can select the starting row, set your column width, and so.· When you are finished the data.prn file will appear with the captured data.· You can now edit Excel to get rig of the garbage and format the data any way you wish.

    This should do it for you.
