data collection to jpg - wimn.rm - Aug 22 8:17:00 2005
I'm collecting data using the BX-24.
I want to put this in a simple graph and place this graph into a jpg
file for publidhing on my weserver automaticaly. Who knows what prog
can do this?
Or maybe someone knows a different approach?

Conversion to an image is likely beyond the ability of the BX-24. An
alternate strategy is to upload the data points to a PC and do the
conversion there. The Perl package GD::Graph can produce many
different graph types from a set of data points. This page may be

Thanks Don, look good what you sent me!
And, yes I know it's a too heavy job for the BX-24! My
webserver runs on a PC.
I forgot to mention that.....

Don's suggestion is very good. Depending upon what applications you
have access to on your PC there are many ways to do this.
#1) In my case, because I have MS Office on all my PCs, I would
output from the BX24 to a simple comma delimited text file then
import that file to Excel and use Excel's charting tools to build the
chart I wanted. Excel does not allow the worksheet to be saved as a
JPEG, (at least my version does not), but the worksheet can be copied
and pasted into Power Point and save from that application as a JPEG.
Many ways to skin this cat and it usually falls into what tools do I
have. In cases like this I usually use VB to build the original text
file so I can easily add any other information that I do not want the
BXxx device to handle.
