Jim,

 

I am looking into what it would take to be able to provide a stand alone version of the program.  I’d be glad to send a copy to you if I can make such a version.

 

The IPAQ would need storage card access, a serial cable, and an RS232 level converter such as this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/MAX232-ECS-RS232-to-TTL-Level-Converter-in-DB9-shell_W0QQitemZ290278674972QQcmdZViewItem

 

The IPAQs I’ve used are models 3600 and 3955. Others with a serial interface should work also.

The EC2 would need to have been recently updated since older versions send different data.

 

Steve

Steve,

I have an IPAQ and an EC2.

Any chance I could get a copy of your program and a connection diagram

of how you linked the two?

I too would like to see what my EC2 is doing.

When I bought the EC2 from Tracy the EM2 did not exist and now I don't have room in

my panel for the EM2. I use a RMI engine monitor.

But I do use the IPAQ for Anywhere map as you do, so your program would be very useful.

 

Thanks,

Jim

Bobby,

 

I don’t have an EM3 so I don’t know what data it collects or how to access it.

 

The data on the plot was collected using an NSBASIC program developed for this purpose and uses the same IPAQ as used with my Anywhere Map GPS system.  The physical connection between the IPAQ and the EC2 uses a ground and the two serial data lines from the EC2 with circuitry to translate the 5V logic level signals to RS232 levels.  The data collected by the IPAQ is transferred to an EXCEL spreadsheet for analysis.

Steve,

 

May I ask how you collected the data?  I have the data logger option with the EM3 but no information on what it collects.   Thanks, Bobby
