Someone might find this useful...
Because (tbh) i'm no good with VB.net yet.
I've been outputting sertxd data, collected from my RF data logger as XML to use with HTML or Excel.
suppose there could be a push switch command to terminate the program with an </xml_dl> tag. (NB im well aware how shoddy my clock is, it's ignored later as i only use it really to slow down the program... i plan to replace this with the digital IC clock when i get my birthday order with rev-ed completed... like many others i want the 20X2 though 
)
I open the picaxe terminal screen and copy the input buffer and paste into a txt file, goto the end and insert the </xml_dl> tag. Then save the txt file as overnight_data.xml.. as thats what it's called in the HTML below.
clickin on the saved html file above should give a nice table of results, if the xml data file is too long then explorer will moan about how long it's going to take.
either that or just use excel to open the xml file directly.

Code:
init:
symbol ok_led = 0
pause 10000
sertxd(60,"xml_dl",62,13,10)
main:
for w0=1 to 365
for b2=0 to 23
for b3 = 0 to 59
for b4 = 0 to 5
high ok_led
b5=b4*10
w4=w4+1
pause 9120 'wait ten seconds
serin 2,N2400,("data"),b6
low ok_led
let b6=b6-3
