You can find the entire MakerPlot control instruction set on the
website. Control instructions can be used to configure and control
nearly all aspects of MakerPlot. They may be sent from the controller
(used in macros) in Event Code or just manually entered in the Log
Window Command Line Interface (CLI). Refer to the guide for the
complete Control Instructions Summary starting in Section 14.
The Macro Builder is an important MakerPlot tool and
there is a video on its operation at Maker Videos ➔
Macro Builder.
Conclusion
We hope by now that you’re getting more familiar
with MakerPlot’s inner workings since — like any
programming language — the devil is in the details. We’ve
made it as painless as possible to learn by offering video
tutorials in addition to our extensive guide.
The beauty of MakerPlot is that you can start out with
it at the off-the-shelf level with the Interfaces that come
standard with the software. Then, if you’re so inclined, you
can customize these Interfaces to your liking. Either way,
Interface directly on the PC. What we’ll show you in the
next article is how to create them DIREC TLY from your
micro, which means that you can build Interfaces “on the
fly” as needed. This is really a neat feature since you can
change the look and feel of the Interface to match your
micro’s application.
MakerPlot will make your data plotting, logging, and
analysis much easier and relevant.
That’s all for now, so just remember: Got Data –
What we’ve shown you in these last two articles is
how to create and configure the various controls on the
MakerPlot It! NV
