Nice. How did you enter the time? I still have not figured it out..

I just copied paste the numbers into excel
cells 1-60
highlighted them and clicked graph
i'm assuming the numbers popping up on hyperterminal shows up once per second

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

Well according to the instructions the display updates appx. twice per second. I will check it later and time how often it updates in hyperterminal...

Thanks..

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

I believe it is 2 Hz, so twice per second.

Nevertheless, these graphs are exactly what the LPM is all about I'm glad you guys got it all working nicely ;D

Congrats to all who got it already and I hope everyone else gets them pretty soon

Hope to receive it soon, however i got one concern about delivery.

I called postal services with my international tracking number, and they could tell me the package is in a warehouse for further distribution near.... LONDON UK

I don't know anything about the UK postal strike, however i hope its not influencing international parcels on their way to Holland.

TL, can you update me on this? The nice lady on the phone told me there could be a few days delay because it was routed thru UK. But she didn't know the details.

Are there any of these left?

If not, does anyone know when the next GB will be?
I think I'll be treating myself to one before Christmas

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB --

Yeah - I'm 50/50 on whether to buy or not. I'd love one, but it's a lot of money.
Keep me updated if you decide to go ahead with the GB

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

I love this meter Daedel after some help from my good friend Greg (SenKat) I've got it to read into my computer, now I've just got to get good with the Excel and office org programs to perfect my graph making.
Myself and Greg realised today the Windows Vista does not have the hyperterminal program built in so we both had to download it from here>> http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html
Whilst doing this and chatting on Skype my internet connection went down for the afternoon this left me well pissed off and in the dark with how to get to grips with the new software and how to make a graph but slowly I'm getting there I think :-/

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

;D

I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you about that TL... I have vista too and had to D/L hyperterminal as well...

Once downloaded though, it's not much of a problem other than getting it all hooked up and configured right...

Did you use the USB-Serial thing? Did it work?

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

The USB-serial adapter from dealextreme works great >> http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5859
I'm just gonna keep playing with the graph making now ;D

Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

Here's a feeble attempt of a graph but by the time I figured everything out the batteries on my Aries started to die :'( But I think you'll get what I mean anyway...
