Title: Filemaker Pro Post by: cardiofuse on June 13, 2009, 01:50:43 AM Basic question here but can I use the Data Logger to sample data streaming from a connected serial device (flowmeter) and import this data point on command (via a sample script) into a target field within my custom Filemaker Pro database? (I'm trying to avoid a grand to the Troi folks).
Title: Re: Filemaker Pro Post by: Arthur Grasin on June 17, 2009, 10:44:11 PM I'm sorry but I'm not familair with this database and we didn't test our software with it.
Title: Re: Filemaker Pro Post by: cardiofuse on June 18, 2009, 02:56:02 PM Thank you for the help. How about the ability of the data logger to export a data stream on command to an Excel file? I'm wondering what feature can stop the data stream so that only one "data point" value can later be imported from Excel. I would hate to import a thousand values; not sure how this works.
Title: Re: Filemaker Pro Post by: Arthur Grasin on June 18, 2009, 09:33:47 PM Yes, you can send data to Excel. No problems. And I think you need filter plugins and exclude uncessary data. With 1000+ values excel will be very slow. I recommend to use Access instead.
Title: Re: Filemaker Pro Post by: cardiofuse on September 27, 2010, 10:00:00 AM Thank you, what I really meant was that, if I'm monitoring the data stream coming from the flowmeter; I was just figuring out a way to "stop" the data so that I might capture one discreet value and send it to Excel for import into Filemaker. Does the filter plugin start and stop the data stream to isolate values?
Title: Re: Filemaker Pro Post by: Arthur Grasin on June 20, 2009, 08:41:08 PM The program can't stop the data stream, but can stop export to excel if parsed data isn't accepted by filter rules. Please, look our tutorials section for examples.
