The only VI I was able to find is at:

http://130.64.87.22/robolabatceeo/Downloads/Code_Archive/adv_data_log.htm

What is the purpose of the "UploadDatalog(nStart,nEnd)" function? Is
there a way for Robolab to passively receive datalogs? The example I
found seems to use the RCX in direct mode, but I am not sure as I do not
fully understand it and it did not successfully retrieve the datalog in
my RCX. (nothing appeared on the front panel)

I was unable to find any datalog documentation in the Lego SDK for
GhostAPI. All of the sites linking to using the Spirit.OCX have been
long since taken down, not that it would be much use; I have a USB tower.

If you are using Robolab, then there are a large variety of VIs
available for uploading and graphing. Just browse around on the Robolab
VIs and documentation and you should find them -- I haven't used this
for ages so I can't help you out.

IF you have the GhostAPI working with the Lego supplied firmware then
the datalog functions should also work with the Robolab or RobotC
firmware. In fact, Robolab uses the GhostAPI.

Subject: Reading Datalog

I am trying to get the Datalog from my RCX to be displayed on my
computer. I am using RobotC to upload the datalog using the
"UploadDatalog(nStart,nEnd)" function. It is sending the Datalog because

I can see the green LED on the IR tower light up. I have Robolab 2.5.4
but I do not see anything that receives a Datalog from the RCX. I am in
"Investigator" but I do not understand how to graph the Datalog.
Furthermore, I do not truly want to use Robolab. I was hoping to use
something like Visual Basic with the Ghost API to display the Datalog in

an image.
Thanks
