@NetDevil:
Time to put your system to work.
First a question. What is the highest reliable baud rate you suggest to use with PLX-DAQ? I have a lot of data that will transfer. So the faster the better, but unreliable and having to restart will be worse.
Long story short. I have to put a SD card between the Arduino and PLX-DAQ. Using the interface in Excel, I trigger the transfer to start. The data is read from the card in up to 20 byte chunks and sent to the serial port.
The data on the card reads:
Date , Time ,ON SP,OFF SP,Control Type,BrightLight SP,Dark SP,Valve Mode,Valve Man Cmd,Pump Mode,Pump Man Cmd
2020/17/04,04:04:09, 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
2020/17/04,04:04:39, 83 , 82 , 1 , 555 , 516 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
2020/17/04,04:05:09, 83 , 82 , 1 , 555 , 516 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
2020/17/04,04:05:39, 83 , 82 , 1 , 554 , 515 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
When the transfer initiates. "LABEL," is sent with the first line, and "DATA," with all the others
LABEL, Date , Time ,ON SP,OFF SP,Control Type,BrightLight SP,Dark SP,Valve Mode,Valve Man Cmd,Pump Mode,Pump Man Cmd
DATA,2020/17/04,04:04:09, 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
DATA,2020/17/04,04:04:39, 83 , 82 , 1 , 555 , 516 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
DATA,2020/17/04,04:05:09, 83 , 82 , 1 , 555 , 516 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
DATA,2020/17/04,04:05:39, 83 , 82 , 1 , 554 , 515 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0
(actually that is only the left portion, there are 73 fields in total)
The above is from the Arduino IDE serial monitor.
When I try it in PLX-DAQ. Nothing happens. I have restart on connect checked when I start the UI. The start text scrolls. Then I sent the command and receive the acknowledge message. But no data appears in either the bug window or in Excel.
What do you want/need to see? What do you suspect I have missed?
