RS232 data format help!

[patricioem]

Hello everyone.

I'am new to the use of DASYLab, but I was able to create a worksheet to capture data coming from RS232 port.

The RS232 module has 6 channels (0 to 5)

Chan 0 = Reading number

Chan 1 = PASS1

Chan 2 = PASS 2

Chan 3 = AVG

Chan 4 = AVG LOW

Chan 5 = GRADE

The data coming is in the following order:

<LF><CR>
RDG NO     PASS1     PASS2    AVG<LF><CR><LF>
<CR>
     001           4.17        1.21        2.69<LF><CR>
     002           1.06        1.47        1.26<LF><CR>
     003           0.92        1.70        1.31<LF><CR>
     004           0.81        1.70        1.25<LF><CR>
     005           0.72        1.73        1.22<LF><CR>
     006           0.85        1.51        1.18<LF><CR>
     007           1.10        1.41        1.25<LF><CR>
     008           0.93        1.38        1.15<LF><CR>
     009           1.02        1.31        1.16<LF><CR>
     010           1.03        1.24        1.13<LF><CR>
     011           1.01        1.30        1.15<LF><CR>
     012           1.54        1.50        1.52<LF><CR>
     013           1.56        1.61        1.58<LF><CR>
     014           1.58        1.67        1.62<LF><CR>
     015            ----           ----           ----<LF><CR><LF>
<CR>
LOW AVG      0.00      GRADE 7<LF><CR><LF>
<CR>
LIMIT 1           0.50<LF><CR>
LIMIT 2           0.60<LF><CR>
LIMIT 3           0.70<LF><CR>

I have managed to visualize correctly the "LOW AVG" value and the "GRADE" value.

I have a list module to show in screen the 15 incoming values and then write them to a file. The problem is how to set the data format so all the data is shown into the list module under their respective channel. i.e. Cahnnel 0 shows all the values (001 to 015) and so on for the remaining channels (except for Chan 4 and 5).

Hope you can help me out with this.

Greetings.

I tried a couple of things, but if the header line repeats, it's going to be really hard to parse. 

DASYLab is looking for a very regular RS232 string, and this is not regular.

It might be possible to write a script using the DASYLab V13 script feature.
