Hi

I am outputting the raw data from the MEMS accelerometers measurement to the XCTU terminal. Anyone knows how to store the data?  
If XCTU cannot make it, do you have other suggestions to log data?

Thanks!

PuTTY is a good option if you’re doing ASCII data.

The “Next Gen” version of X-CTU will allow you to save a log file from the terminal: [www.digi.com/xctu](http://www.digi.com/xctu). If you’re operating in API, it will also decipher the API frames for you.

Thanks. I figured it out by logging data from the serial port of my PC.
