[Kst] Re: Addition of sample on a specific range

[mathieu660r at gmail.com]

Hi,

I would want to thanks everyone who tried to solve my problem. The method  
proposed by mister Netterfield is exactly what I was searching for. I will  
set a delay on my hardware so the sample will be every second, this way I  
will be able to use you method. Because I don't have acces to the hardware  
for the moment I can't test you solution. But, I just want to be sure of  
something. If I input the start and end of the sample will this vector will  
update itself and sample it for each hour ? I know you talked about that in  
your email but will this iterate automatically ? I also wanna know if it's  
possible for KST to parse data on a COM port and flush the value every day?

Thanks
