Dear fellow-users:

The printer which attaches to both Dektak IIA's is non-functional, i.e. with 
power coming to the printer a manual line feed does not spool the paper.  Is 
there another printer which can be used in its place.  Alternatively, has anyone 
written an interface progam which allows a data dump from the Dektak to a PC? 
Any suggestions are welcome.  (We've thought about using a digital camera, but 
thought it would be a little too crude.)

Thanks!

- Raj & Josie

I wrote a program that takes all the data off of the dektak and puts it into
an excel readable file. The data stream is simple to decode, anyone can do
it.

Hi Les,

Would it be possible for you to share this code with us all?  We could 
post it as part of the "dektak" group for everyone to benefit.  You will 
be saving us all the effort of finding the dusty manuals, correlating 
pin outs, uploading drivers, and writing source... what do you think? 
You will certainly have my gratitude :)

Regards,
Raj

it'll take me a day or so to find and make sense of my code (I wrote it two
years ago). The pinout is very simple it is a regular rs232 cable, that one
can buy at fry's. I'll write back soon.
