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.

Mark, I think I have the last piece in the puzzle.


Sub Main()
  Dim x as Integer
  Dim val as Integer
  For  x = 1 to 1000
  val = GetADC(82)\ 5
  Console.Write (CStr(val) & ", ")
  Delay(0.01)
  Next
  End Sub

Given this program it sends out 1000 characters
that will load into the first row of a spread
sheet. That makes it easy to chart the data
with one exception. One must get rid of the header
part.

One must be in a project and one must start data logging
under the options menu. Choose a name for the data
logging that looks like this: name.csv

Now you need to get a hex editor to edit this
file as every stock Windows and Linux editor I tried
inserts hidden characters called carriage return
and/or line feed and therefor ruins the file for
our purposes. The spread sheet will barf on that
file.

Here is the hex editor I used

It is a marvel all on its own.
Here is a screen capture of what it looks like.
Understanding this is 10% of a Phd in computer science :)

This editor works great on XP.
I don't know about Windows 7 but I would try it.
