Capturing Text File in Hyperterminal

[jrudd]

I'm using Hyperterminal to receive and display data using:
Hserout ["Value=",DEC adval,10,13] which works fine, I get the A/D value "adval" and I get the linefeed and carriage return using the 10,13 operators.
When I select the "Capture" to text file function from within Hyperterminal,
and stop and open the file to view, I have received the data in the following format Value=1501 Value=1501 etc. There are two blank/black(squares) characters between the repeating text and data display, no line feed or carrage return as I would expect. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John

John,

What are you using to view the text file?

Some programs expect to see the carriage return first.
(13,10) instead of (10,13).

Darrel,
Thanks, I used 10,13 because that is the sequence I amusing to run a 16x2 LCD and displaying the same data that I wanted to capture in a text file using Hyperterminal. The next thing I want to do is run a VB program to display a/d input values.

I'll try 13,10 this evening.

Try with a serial modem.

TYPE:

ati3

(+ press enter key)

The modem will send you back its model number and sw version.

Example:

ati3

SupraExpress 56e Memory s1.00-052099b

OK

In the captured file at the end of the lines you will see 0D 0A.

If you have VB6 & SoftWire, you an make your own terminal program & A/D logging applicaion.

Here's one with a strip chart, analog meter & a few more bells & whistles with the VB & PBP source code http://www.rentron.com/PicBasic/AD_Log.htm

If you don't have SoftWire you can download if free of charge here http://www.softwire.com/swdownload/softwiredownload.htm
