I've downloaded the StampPlot Lite software, but how do I print the plot?
(Yes I've read the help splat, but it doesn't say anything about it.) cry.gif

    Bugg,

    It appears that the direct answer is to upgrade to StampPlot Pro. But there are a couple of alternatives. One is to capture the StampPlot screen by pressing Alt-Prnt Scrn, then pasting the image into another application, like word for instance, then printing it. Another is to use a graphical capture tool which allows you to select an area of the screen to copy and/or print. I don't know what tools are out there as I don't use one, but I know they exist.

    The What's a Microcontroller text has a StampPlot Lite example with step-by-step instructions for getting started. It's in Chapter 7, Activity 2 - Graphing Light Measurements.

    What's a Microcontroller is available for free download from www.parallax.com -> Downloads -> Stamps in Class Tutorials.

    Hey, nice poll! This topic caught my eye in my Email. alt-Print Screen and paste is the easiest way I feel.

    For home and educational users, the Pro version is free for use thanks to Parallax. It allows printing directly or taking JPG snapshots of plots.

    Little more complex to use, but it does allow ploting of multiple analog values (and so much more).

    Bugg, I misread your question.

    Sorry Marty, I also forgot to cite your Industrial Control text as the main resource for StampPlot Lite. I usually try to·mention every Stamps in Class resource that covers a topic, but my posting fingers aren't warmed up yet!

    Industrial Control is also avialable for free download from www.parallax.com -> Downloads -> Stamps in Class tutorials.

    Thanks, guys! I've tried the Prnt-Scrn, but it didn't work, though
    I didn't know that you have to paste!

    The free version of screenhunter at http://www.wisdom-soft.com/downloads/downloadfiles.htm will help you do any kind of screen capture you want. I have used the original free version for years and love it. I assume the newest version is at least as good.
