I had written a small program at one point to upload the RCX Data Log, and if

me by e-mail if you are desperate to get this program ahead of my lazy
schedule.)  I believe that other tools exist for uploading the Data Log, but

have not used them and cannot speak for them.

If you just want to transfer the datalog and put it in a text file you
can use the nqc command:

nqc -datalog

This will upload the datalog and print it to stdout.  Use your shell I/O
redirection to put it in a file...

nqc -datalog >my.log

Normally only the data values are displayed, but if you also want to see
what source the values came from use -datalog_full instead of -datalog.

As with any nqc commands, use the -S option to specify a different
serial port (or USB device).

AFAIK, BricxCC has a nice interface for datalogs, so that's probably the
best way to go if you just want to view the log, but if you want to
script it, then the nqc command should work fine.

(...) NQC programs run on the RCX which has no disk drive to write to, hence no file system or commands to do so. You might want to look at the Data Log feature of the RCX, which allows you to save data points (up to about 6,000 of them) such as (...) (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
