  Re: The datalog
 
Someone in RTL said the RCX firmware ver 2 could read the datalog too. I read your documentation first since I figured you would have added functionality to NQC for that. I didn't see it in NQC. Then I check LEGO's docs but didn't see it there (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
I heard it somwhere too, so I assumed it could be done, however, I haven't downloaded the new firmware, so I don't know. --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) After looking over the docs again, I'm fairly certain it can't be done (or at the very least isn't documented). If anyone finds out how to do it, let me know and I'll add support to NQC. Dave (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) Dave, I have a question about the datalog. In the manual you state that the createdatalog function creates a datalog of x many points. How much is a point? Is that how many unique entries can be made or an overall 'byte' amount? Is a value (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) Each call to AddToDatalog() uses up one "point". Each point takes up 3 bytes of memory: a 1-byte code for the source of point (sensor, timer, etc), then a 2-byte value. 123456 is too big to fit into the log. This would either generate a (...)

  Re: The datalog
 
BTW, what does the datalog *store*? Numbers? Events? Anything? And what good is it for (besides the methods we've disscussed earlier)? --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) numbers. It can only log timers, sensors, variables, and the system watch. When a value is logged, its source is also logged. For example, AddToDatalog(Timer(1)) adds the current value of Timer 1 to the log and also stores that this entry came (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Series of measurements. I've used it to measure light sensor values while doing a 360 degree turn next to a candle (disappointing, the candle made hardly a dent), and to measure raw values for touch sensors while pushing them slowly, 1/100mm (...)
