Graphing Temperature

[Pete]

Thank you for your suggestions Michael.

Jon, I've been using your virtual graphing utility for the quick spot check graphing.

[langenet]

Thanks for all the suggestions... mcsTemperature looks real cool. Now I just need to decide whether I go out an purchase this plugin or if there is any benefit to using the RFXCom plugin with it's inline charting....

I too use Jon's graphing utility as well for the my TXB16 temp...

To be clear, the Control chart I showed was done with xapmcsChart. mcsTemperature contains similiar charting capabilities as xapmcsChart, but I'm not certain if it has the 3-D presentation. xapmcsChart can only be used in conjunction with mcsXap and xapmcsDatabase. These are oriented to a distributed environment while HS is more oriented toward a centralized one.

xapmcsChart does have a browser-based GUI to setup and display charts, but its real focus is to accept dynamic chart building requests to produce images that are used in other presentations such as something like HSTouch or digital frames.

Gee stevea... that's nice. Would you like to share your code?

I almost forgot.

Like I said, this won't work out of the box, but maybe it can show you some of the stuff you can do with the ChartDirector libraries. I'm also providing the full page to show the other controls the ASPX uses.

Steve, you shared this code a year or so ago. I have been using it ever since. It did take some work to get it going, but it was well worth my time. I currently use it for monitoring around 18 temp sensors.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

I did?! Wow, I hate getting old.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

You're welcome!

Error with Temperature_plot.aspx

When I try to run this I get the following error:
=================================================
Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'netchartdir' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Source Error:

Line 5: <%@ Import Namespace="ChartDirector" %>
Line 6: <%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
Line 7: <%@ Register TagPrefix="Chart" Namespace="ChartDirector" Assembly="netchartdir" %>
=================================================
I do have the Chartdirector stuff installed as MCSTemperature uses it. Any idea what's happeneing?

[Michael McSharry]

mcsTemperature uses the COM version and not the .NET version of ChartDirector.

mcsTemperature uses the COM version and not the .NET version of ChartDirector.

I just downloaded and installed the .NET version of Chartdirector, rebooted and still get the same error message...........

Looks like it was longer than a year ago... I am getting old too I guess.

I found the post from December 2006... Man, time seems to move much quicker with each passing year.

Hmmm... I don't have a clue. I don't recall doing anything special. I'll try and take a look at my install of ChartDirector when I get home.

My bad! I assume when you installed ChartDirector it went into C:\Program Files\ChartDirector. You will need to copy two files (netchartdir.dll and netchartdir.xml) from the bin directory under ChartDirector to the html\bin directory under Homeseer.

Not sure anyone else is still trying, but langenet did get this all working for him. He had to do some customizing to get it to work for him, but aside from the ChartDirector DLL install (which I forgot about), it was not too bad.

Excel ...

I have been using excel for charting my temperatures for years.
In my cases temps are in a Mysql database, but excel could chart from a text file or an excel sheet.
Using the charts in excel is very powerfull, versatile and easy to manage

[PSL74]

I log temps into an access database every few minutes, and I've got a ASP.NET web page that uses the ChartDirector free ASP.NET libraries. I think I've shown this before a couple of places here on the board. I really like the speed and look of the charts, but there is some code involved.

Steve

Hi Steve!

How do you log temps into an access database every few minutes?

Thanks,
Vyacheslav
