Using DeBug Command

BJJohnson

I am using the Debug command to log events from my BS2 to a PC.· I would like to time stamp the BS2 events using the PC clock if that is possible with Debug. Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks Bob

Hi Bob, StampDAQ can do that.

I think you can use Stamp Plot for this. I'm not familiar enough with the details. Check it at www.selmaware.com.

Either StampPlot or StampDAQ can be used as noted.· StampDAQ takes a little formatting, but pretty easy:

DEBUG "DATA,TIME,Your Event text",CR

With StampPlot, simply enable saving of message data:
DEBUG "!SAVM ON",CR

Then, send your text:
DEBUG "your event text",CR

Always end with a CR, and don't start with a numeric value, @,!, or ~

When you've collected some, use the menu Logging-->Open message file.

You can also change the name of the message file via code:
DEBUG "!NAMM my_file.txt",CR

I have not been able to recieve data from the BS2 Using StampDAQ. The Debug window works fine, then I close·Debug and start StampDAQ.· StampDAQ will connect using port 1 @ 9600 but will not recieve any data from BS2.· I am using excel 2003.· Any suggustions?

Thanks Bob·

Bob,

When the DEBUG window is open, does it say COM1 for the port it is using? Whatever port number it is using is the one you'll want to use with StampDAQ. Take care.

The Debug window is using com 1 also. StampDAQ does get a green connect light when I use com 1. Just cannot seem to get data transfer into my excel sheet.

Thanks Bob

Could you post the code please so we can see if it is properly formatted for StampDAQ?

Thanks,
Martin

Also, what board are you using? Having "Reset on connect" checked may be causing the DTR line to hang the Stamp.
