Spyder - data transfer to PC

genoa380 — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 17:47:59 GMT

Hello,

I am planning to use Softec Spyder as a temperature recorder, my problem is how to tranfer these data to PC through

USB, and if possible, usb software to PC-side, to record data in a usable file, xls for example.

Any other solution is welcome.

Thank you for your help.

if you wish USB choose a JM series or a serial to usb chip like ftdi does

for the pc side you have many choice there if you want something more clean you should build your own app to receive serial from a com port or directly from USB with winusb (see jm serie video tutorial)

if you need something fast just send text with your cpu and catch it with hyperterminal

If you use the BKGD do communications, you can use FreeMaster; If you use the SCI, through FTDI chip.

Hello,

OK I will try Hyperterminal fist, and then probably my own app.

Thank you for your help.
