This logs the readings to a file, and then I can export this CSV format into excel to produce the plots.<br /><br />There is another open source programme called KST, which will print out readings directly from a file or serial terminal window, so gives a real time graph. I've still got to get around to to using it - but my friends at openenergymonitor.org have used it very effectively for real time graphing of electricity consumption data - see here for how to use KST<br /><br />http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/30<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br /><br />KenKen Boakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168707285621954181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-56607565408766885092010-12-26T00:13:39.180+00:002010-12-26T00:13:39.180+00:00Hi Ken, great blog.
