PLX-DAQ

Hi

I just found PLX-DAQ on Parallax website. Any experience with this using PicAxe??
Looks like Stampplot, but interfaces to Excel!

PLX-DAQ is an upgraded version of StampDaq, which was also written by Martin Hebel of SelmaWare Solutions. The examples included with the documentation are for the BASIC Stamp but can easily be converted to work with the PICAXE. The default format reserves the first column of the spreadsheet to record the time and date that data was received by the PC serial port. This is of course not relevant when importing logged data and can be ignored by adding dummy “,”.

I have found StampPlot Pro more suitable for displaying data in real-time but PLX-DAQ much better for processing and displaying data iimorted from a logger.

middelbeek. You my find the following example PICAXE code, for exporting test data (3 ramps) to Excel using the PLX-DAQ macro, of some use.


pause 1000 : sertxd ( "CLEARDATA", CR )
pause 1000 : sertxd ( "LABEL,X,Y,Z", CR )
pause 1000 : sertxd ( "MSG,StampDAQ Ramp Test.", CR )

start:
for b0 = 0 to 128
b1 = b0/2
b2 = b0*2
sertxd ( "DATA," , "," , #b1 , "," , #b0 , "," , #b2 , CR)
next

Sorry, forgot to add that dummy “,” that I mentioned in my first post. Correct output format, without a time and date column, should be

(“DATA,”,”,”,#b0,”,”,#b1,”,”,#b2,CR)
