I have a PC permanently connected to the control unit.

When I remember, I start the System Controller software and export the sensor values for the previous 24hrs.

I want to automatically export the sensor values and power unit switch states every 10 minutes.

The Aquatronica software will show real time values for sensors.

Is it possible to get the instructions sent by the software to the controller so that I can write some software to do this for me.

Hi pateism,

at the moment the Aquatronica PC software can't export automatically and can't real time record the values.

This is a possible feature Aquatronica is thinking to develop.

Aquatronica uses a proprietary code for the controller, I think they don't want to let people write software by themselves, but I'll ask to Aquatronica engineers.

Bye

Hi,

If you were to purchase the Ethernet Module, you can communicate with the controller via an XML document. I have had some success with this, and have started developing my own software to record tank parameters at specified intervals, and display the results in graphs, tables, etc.

Hope that helps,

Hi instantsquid....

Apologies for the delay in responding. I haven't made as much progress as I would like on my own software, although I do plan to complete it one day!

In the meantime, an American guy has developed some nice software which looks like it might be of use to you.
