Structured Array

[richard]

Well it works. I previously had 5 arrays now everything is in one nice contiguous block ready to send to the data logger. if nothing else the code [excluding the user command bits] looks simpler and more readable.
using the

================================================== ============================
' One log record
voltage con 0 ' byte
amps CON voltage+1 ' word (amps is 1 byte away from voltage)
drive CON amps+2 ' word (drive is 2 bytes away from amps)
climit con drive+2 ' word
stat con climit+2 ' byte
szLog con stat+1
DataLog var byte[szLog] ' reserve the bytes for structure

method and ext var declarations is fine up until you need to have a mixed array with bytes and word vars and more than One log record that you can step through to read and write in a loop.

my method works fine but I think its only cosmetically better than in this case using 5 separate arrays.
anyway its been good practice with macros and user command

here is the demo code if your interested on a 16f1825
