Send out of the hardware serial port. Use a MAX232 or equivalent as a level shifter. Send the data out as ASCII text.
Capture the data with HyperTerm (use TRANSFER/CAPTURE TEXT) or
with TERMINAL or with virtually any other terminal software.

ok thanks ill give that a try!
if im getting this right, is a level shifter just to change the voltage of the active signal as its being sent? where the pic is running at about 5v what would be normal for the computer to recieve it at?
sorry i may have completely missed the point of the level shifter...
thanks for the replys

Rs232
Hi Robert,
The data out of the PIC will be 0 to 5V but will be converted to a +- signal out of a RS232 chip that has a negative voltage generator for +-5V swing. Here's a scope shot I found when I Googled "what is RS232"
