Well, Chris verifies that he uses variable 23, 24, and 25 to log values in ROBOLAB, and that he also puts in random stuff such as which sensor it is, etc. in the beginning of the datalog. But this still leaves the problem of how to clear the (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Ben, Internally, the RCX only works with integers, but .1 degree resolution was desired for temperature sensors, so the sensor values are actually measured in .1 degree increments. A reading of 70 degrees F is stored as 700, not 70. If you change (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

You could always check how big your datalog is by uploading the first point of the datalog in VB. The third element of the first point (point 0) is the size of the datalog.
