I also use the Python-based interface written by Dale Lane.

Yes I know that there is an option to 'stay connected' but I don't want it running all the time just long enough to collect 24 hours worth of data.
Cheers, I'll take a look at Dale's code, I've been using "measureit": http://code.google.com/p/measureit/
I thought that I would, at least, express an interest.
Thanks, it was awful quiet out there!
Measureit looks interesting but appears to be for the Envi and Envir models only and mine is older than that. Pity.
Some of my posts haven't appeared on the list and I haven't had a copy back but I've just realised why. I think I've been clicking 'Reply' instead of 'Reply to group' so some posts went directly to the poster instead of to the group. Apologies to those affected and old age means it can only get worse. :((

From my limited investigations I don't think they're actually that
different. They both present data in XML chunks over a serial connection, but there are differences between versions in baud rates and possibly XML schema. One of the issues of all the code I've looked at is that the XML is not treated as XML but as a string to be pattern matched using regular expressions, which is fine but not very robust when something gets added to the XML or swapped around, even if the bit you want is still there with the same name it always had before. So it might be that a bit of regex tweaking will be needed as well.

That might be partly my fault: I think I may have done a reply-all but had my reply to the list blocked for suspicious headers (damn Gmail and it's inability to set the default to plain text for certain recipients).
