RE: Charting software for web use?

["Paul Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

I created a simple vb app which counted the number of pluses on
the CD line on a com port. It then every minute dumps the count into a
my sql database.

Then using php and mysql, and this tool
http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php
I generate bar charts to show the various totals, for hour, day, month
and year. This works well and free if you are happy for the click on the
chart to take you there website.

If you however have the need to drill down into the data then you have
to pay for it. But it's cheap.

As an aside how are you measuring the PH and getting this into a pc.


Regards,

Paul

I'm just about to link up my aquarium computer to my HA server. The plan
is to log the values of temp, pH etc that are sent every few seconds.
Not sure yet how I will do this although there is already some software
that will write the values to an Excel doc. I'd probably be best writing
to a dB?

Anyway, anyone know of a piece of software that will EASILY take these
values on a pre-determined period and create a graph (user defined) for
viewing on an Intranet web page? Ideally, this software would be free!
:-)

Thanks,

Paul.
