The RCX can use a DATALOG to store DATA. (ABOUT 2000 points)
yup.

But you can't use SetDatalog() in an RCX program because
that command is an Immediate command. (Doesn't seem right)

No, you can SetDatalog as often as you wish! Try doing it in NQC, it
compiles and run like a breeze. It is to my knowledge the only way the RCX
can clear its own datalog.

UploadDatalog also CAN NOT be used in an RCX program because
it too is an Immediate command. (This makes more sence to me
yup.


But a work around is to have the RCX fill a DATALOG and then
when filled, flag a VAR that the PC is polling every now and then.
Have the PC Upload the DATALOG and reset the VAR and clear
the DATALOG.
(This sounds good, but i guess it can drain the RCX battery quicker by
polling the RCX every now and then)
Yup and (yes thats probably right).


Have I got this more of less right so far...?
probably more than less!

Ok, thanks for clearing up Datalog-ing for me everyone. Let me see if I got this right... The RCX can use a DATALOG to store DATA. (ABOUT 2000 points) But you can't use SetDatalog() in an RCX program because that command is an Immediate command. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
