    Sheldon -

    You can output the data that you need to save via SEROUT (asynchronus serial output). The "receiver" can be any of the following: StampDAQ, Hyperterminal, Procomm or other communications utility program. If you want to eventually plot the data, StampPlot is also available, to plot it immediately, in real time.

    StampDAQ - A generalized data aquisition program, written by Parallax, and available on the Parallax web site here:
    http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/software/software_stampDAQ.asp

    Hyperterminal - A Microsoft utility supplied with all versions of the Windows Operating System. Hyperterminal can capture incoming data and create a standard disk file from it, given the proper parameters. Other operating systems have similar utilities.

    Procomm (and others) - Nearly any "decent" communications utility program will have at least the same capabilities as Hyperterminal (see above). Check your favorite shareware/freeware download site.

    StampPlot - An excellent graphing utility, supplied by Martin Hebel, which accepts asnychronous serial input from a PBASIC Stamp, and creates a real time graph, according to the users specifications, right on the PC screen. StampPlot can be found here:
