Macintosh and AC3

hello,
I was reading up on the AC3 and saw this on your website

Data Logging

The AquaController III Pro has data logging for the aquarist that wants to keep an accurate log of the conditions in his aquarium. Temperature, pH, ORP, conductivity and dissolved oxygen are sampled and stored into battery backed RAM. The sample interval is user programmable and can be from 1 minute to four hours in 1 minute increments. The data log can either be viewed on the LCD display or downloaded to a PC or Macintosh.

So do you use aquanotes on a mac? or is there different software for the data logging?

Thanks,
Tren

You can telnet into the AC3 or connect via serial cable and run a terminal emulator program (Kermit, Hyperterminal, etc.). Once connected you can get an ascii dump of the datalog, current conditions, etc. This functionality is available on both windows and a Mac.
AquaNotes only runs on windows platforms, and one of its features is automatically downloading this data and storing it in a database. Once in the database it can be graphed, exported, etc.

I never done it personally, but some customers have reported back that it works fine.
