Data loggers and plug-ins / Real Time Display ascii delay
November 16, 2012, 09:19:19 PM
Hello,

I am an oceanography technician. I built a towed camera sled to survey ocean floor.  I have an acoustic range finder that outputs a ascii string every second. It updates distance to the bottom, pitch, roll, direction and a few other parameters.  I fly the sled about 2m off the bottom and use the finder to keep from hitting bottom.   the manufacturer's software displays this data in windows painfully small when hours are spent at task.  I'm considering the data logger software to parse and display this data in Excel where I need only see range to bottom.  Will there be any detectable delay in my conceptualized application? The average response time of human is about .10 sec.  So believe it need be faster than that.

Thank you for your assistance.
Eric
