Graphing Dashboard Viewer Program

As part of the projects that I spent my time working on in between the end of the build season and the competition itself, I ended up creating a Dashboard viewer program that graphed analog values coming from the processor. Unfortunately, I never got around to adding features supporting the switches and LEDs, but that could be easily done. The program itself was written in C# and needs .net 2.0 to be installed to run.

Since I am graduating soon, I will no longer be working on this program and am offering up the source code as well to anyone who wants it.

A quick guide to working the graphing dashboard viewer:
-Start the program
-Plug the computer into the dashboard port of the Operator Interface
-Select the correct COM port from the dropdown list
-Select the values you would like to have graphed. Use the UserBytes for sending custom values.
-Goto the File menu and click start to begin graphing values
-Click on the graph itself if you would like to view a specific value
-Values are displayed on the bottom status bar of the window

Note: The Load and Save graph features do not work yet since I was too lazy to learn xml encoding.

Enjoy!
