Display incoming data in log window.

[DuarteCota]

Hello,

I am asking for help doing this:

• I receive messages via Serial Port, each 500ms.
• I need to display this messages line by line in a window/indicator in my front panel, creating a kind of text log.

Can I have your help on how to do this?

Thank you.

Hi Duarte,

concatenate your received strings with the help of a shift register and display the concatenated string in a string indicator.

What's the problem here?

There are many different solutions. Here is one, not necessarily the most optimal in terms of speed etc, but can give you idea... Whatever solution you use, it is important that you need to limit the size of the log, otherwise you get a memory leak.

Here is the snippet (drag and drop into an empty block diagram):

I did it.

Thanks.
