If it was me I would make a little terminal program in something like Visual Basic and use the office com objects to write to a excel spreadsheet.

www.planetsourcecode.com has lots of terminal program examples.

Hi,

Use the HyperTerminal feature "Capture text". (Menu transfer).
With the PIC send Comma Separated Values (CSV) to HyperTerminal.

* * *

Step 1:
Start "Capture text" in HyperTerminal. (File xyz.cvs)

Step 2:
With the PIC send the comma separated values to HyperTerminal.

Step 3:
Close the file in HyperTerminal. "Capture text/Stop". (Menu Transfer).

Step 4:
Open the comma separated value (CSV) file with Excel.

The Comma Separated Value (CSV) File Format:
