For some odd reason, it is not on the BDI CD. I got an executable version as an RPM file from a Red Hat 6.2 CD set. You can also download the compilable source code, but I had some problems with this. Once you have gnuplot installed, you click on settings, then logging and a new dialog box appears. You click on start, make a move, then click stop, save and then plot, and within a couple of seconds you will have a plot on the screen from the recorded samples. Jon |
