    debug will send data from the stamp to the pc and display it in a window. What type of events are you monitoring?

    I am trying to monitor events over a 4 hour period to see if functions are turning on and off automaticly. So I need a program that will show time when the event happened.

    What are you using to time the events? You could send a message to a debug window with the time and event from the stamp. How are you connecting things together? Could you attach a drawing of the setup you are using and the code you have to run the events?

    I haven't used it myself, but I'd look at Stamp Plot Lite, available from, where else, the Parallax website!

    This program is used as part of the Process Control text.· The only downside I can see is that the free version doesn't let you define your own macros, so unless a pre-defined macro is avaialable for what you want to do, you may be out of luck.·

    Still, it's free, so maybe see what you can do with it?· Your Stamp program would need to send values to the debug port using debug out or through SEROUT·with a level-shifter, such as a MAX232.

    Hope this helped!

    There is also StampDAQ, which is a data acquisition macro for Excel. I think it was written by the authors of StampPlot.

    Also, if it isn't a commercial project, you can use the full version of StampPlot under their new academic licensing.
