Hi

I'm just wondering if anybody can recommend any free or lowcost Data loggers that can send serial data received via RS232 to MS Excel in real time for logging and graphing purposes.

Thanks

Tony

I do not know if it will do what you want to do, but I vaguely remember 'Windmill' Software UK does this. I do not have the link off hand.

I have been using the older version of this. www.parallax.com/ProductInfo/Microcontrollers/PLXDAQDataAcquisitiontool/tabid/393/Default.aspx
This is free and the older version, Stamp DAQ, is quite easy to use and you can use excels graphing or there is also a plotting application as well.
