We want to create charts from data that comes streaming in in batches over USB. My old DOS version of MS-Works could do that. I could pipe data in via RS232 and its built-in terminal function and set it up so it displays it as a graph. Worked very nicely with logic analyzer data and stuff like that.

In newer MS-Works and Excel versions I could not find that feature. Did it vanish?

MS_Works, no. Excel, maybe. Try to Open the port/device you want to use from within VBA.


Sigh. I was afraid that they had dumped it. Maybe I was the only guy who used it back then?


In case this doesn't work, maybe these do (no own experience):

A bit pricey for RS232-only but heck, if it works why not? I am surprised that they charge so much for DOS importers because many SW packages in the DOS days were smarter and could already do that import. Such as the old MS-Works.

That one looks really good, thanks.
