The attached query was received from jjhobie as a PM.
Posted here with the view that someone may have a solution

once the data is stored on the chip can I push the data out at timed interval? Can I write a program on the chip to do this? Thanks for the information. John

datalogger

I presume you are talking about the PICAXE 18X based AXE110 datalogger and using the software within the Programming Editor.

The standard code that the wizard creates must run to the end of the campaign/session and then waits for the PE software to send a command to initiate transfer of the data form the PICAXE/datalogger to the PC.

It would, I believe be possible to initiate sending the data under other circumstances to receiving software. You would need to have that other software active and waiting for the data. The PE wizard, from memory, times out after a period of no activity.

A solution with Visual Basic may be possible.
Some on this forum have already worked with VB but I myself have not.
