Hi, I've been busy with a data logging project for a while now and have considered various mechanisms for storing the data or transmitting it to a central station. My intermediate solution seems to be a DS1996 8K by 8 1-wire module. I've developed some access routines to save and retrieve data but nothing elegant or tidy. Recently I downloaded the TMEX stuff from DALLAS and it solves a retieval problem, however the data format for writing to the device is not well documented, or well hidden. The SDK covers readin and writin from a PC using intermediate S/W drivers. Has anyone used the TMEX format, or know of the data structures used.
