I suggest if you are interested in this system you make
a folder and drag over all the many future messages on this
subject otherwise delete it.
The ZBasic System Library provides a collection comprising
hundreds of subroutines and functions that one can use to add
functionality to one's EFI system without reinventing the wheel.

Here is a good example.
Subroutine: ADCtoCom1(pin, rate)
Com1 could be the RS232 or the USB connector.
Hence data is sent to the PC automatically.
This is very similar to the Hytech Automation data acq system.
pin = The pin number from which analog readings will be taken.
Valid pins are those corresponding to ADC PortA, pins 13 to 20.
rate = The rate at which conversions will be performed. The value
is the number of conversions per second and may range from 28
to 11000 samples per second.
Calling this subroutine causes a continuous series of analog-to-digital
conversions to be performed on the signal appearing at the specified
pin. Each 8-bit digital result is automatically sent out the Com1 serial
port.
The conversion stream will continue until ADCToCom1() is called
again with the pin parameter set to zero.
This would be highly useful for high speed pressure sampling of what
is going on in one's tuned intake manifold at different RPM's.
Another application is sending out the exact fuel mixture setting
in real time to the NetBook PC moment by moment. From this data the PC
can determine the instantaneous fuel burn and total fuel burned
for the flight so far.
I am getting more and more impressed :)
