!APRN printing problems....Subject: RE: !APRN printing problems....

Hi Bob,
The group has been slow, it seems many like to mail me directly. Either
way, I answer. But we have had several new members join, and I always
wonder if they have questions :)

I just tried auto printing and seems to work ok. One thing about your
macro, when !CONN ON is issued, all data in the queue after that is dumped
(it's cleared on connection), so have !CONN as your last instruction. But
if you see it saying "printing", it should go... have you tried manually
printing just to make sure that works?

The 60,000 limit is somewhat arbitrary. It's more a limit when shifting to
collect more data on the same run... long time lag.

If it's doing what you want it too, that's great, I have no other
suggestions since its really dependent on your needs.

Try those few printing suggestions above. Please let me know if you have
success or more problems.

If you don't mind, I am going to post this to the yahoo group, with your
name removed.

Thanks for your use and support of it!

Martin,
I am a new Stampplot user and am having a problem getting Automatic
printing to work. I am using Stampplot Standard V3 on a Pent PII PC 400MHz
running

W98SE. I am using the following Macro to configure SP:

INIT:
' Clear any plot objects
!POBJ Clear
' Start a new Plot
!NEWP
' Title the plot
!TITL Sferics Counts/Min
' Configure for 0 to 1000 on Y axis:
!SPAN 0,1000
' Set X axis to real time mode
!RTIM ON
' Set Time for 24 hours or 86400 Sec
!TMAX 86400
' Set background (B) color to white, grid (G) to black and
'scales (S) to black
!COLOR B(WHITE) G(BLACK) S(BLACK)
'Enable Plotting
'Set Max # of data points to 86410 (10 more points than needed)
!PNTS 86410
'Reset plot based on max time so plot will reset on time not
points
!MAXT
!PLOT ON
!CONN ON
'Print the plot when max time is reached
!APRN ON
ENDMAC

What I want to do is, plot data for 24 Hrs (86400 seconds). At the end of
that time, do an Automatic print to LPT1. I thought I was configured to do
that with the

Above Macro, however at the end of the 24Hrs I get no print. I did see a
"printing" message in the Status window but no print actually happened when
the plot rolled

Over to the new 24Hr period. I have studied the info on you web site and
the Yahoo message board and have not found the answer I am looking for.

Stampplot is very versitile and I am sure I am just doing something
wrong but I'm not sure what at this point. I had read that the max Data
Points is

60,000, however the plot seems to work fine out to 86400. Is there really
a 60,000 limit? Or is there a better way to do what I want? If you have
any ideas

Of what else I can try to trouble shoot this problem let me know.
Thanks for your help.
I did not post this to the yahoo list since I saw very few messages
lately and your name showed up often as the technical support person.

Thanks again for your help, great product, something I have been looking
for a long time!.......Bob
