Just read a neat idea for PIC users in the design mag called "EDN". Page 96, of the Feb 16th issue, shows how to use a 16C73 interfaced to an LCD to display plots like an O-scope. Rather neat, though not too much in the way of data acquiring due to memory limitations--but bet one could either use a SRAM (I think thats correct) or an additional PIC to do the data acq and then display the plot. EDN even has the program for download on their web as an MPASM 1.40 compatible source file. Mike Regards... Mike Hall - "http://members.aol.com/mhall34450/" WB8ICN Dayton, Ohio
