If you’ve run out of serial ports, then you can log via Xwire. It’s tedious to use, but this example shows one way to do it. It has been tested on DC216, but should work on a MMi203 or MS121 too as it uses the LCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
;===============================================================================
;PURPOSE:
; Sample DC216 app that writes a datestamp and floating point value to a
; SX10508 1302 logger.
