Hello all,

I am looking to use a Classic to graphically log temperature accurately (resolution of ~.5 deg. C) and was wondering if there are any pre-made software suites with this function, or how to go about making my own software. I am competent with C and its flavours and can happily make the hardware associated with data logging.

I hope someone out there can help!

Many thanks,

Tom

Hello Tom,

I have interfaced classic mac to hardware in the past using Hypercard and a device called AB I/O from a defunct organization called Beehive Technologies...  I have also used older versions of Realbasic to control serial communications.  I didn't do these on System 7 however and I don't know anything specific with regard to temperature probes...  Probably the easiest option to find would be Hypercard with a serial XMCD and a temp probe with serial output.  Goodluck!

I always used to drool over their stuff:

They still have equipment and software for Apple II's. The Mac stuff also used to be used with the Newtons/eMates, along with the eProbe software.

HTH,

Great thankyou, I will check it out! I have an eMate and I'd love to use that for the same application!

The only best way for this would be to get  an old copy of labview "G language" version 3 or 4 ie will run on system 7 for the mac.  Daq Cards can be found in both pci and nubus on e-bay.   as for the data logger, there are prewritten programs out their I can help with that.  If you really want to get wild go with a GPIB box and card.
