how can I display the Lambda Shield UART data logger on PC screen ?
i am already displaying the sensor status, Lambda, AFR, O2 %, heater voltage, pump current .
the display was downloaded automatically when i used how to get started Video.

Rasheed,
I believe you are referring to the Lambda Shield app for Windows? Make sure you are using the
Lambda Shield GUI code.
Hope it helps.

yes you are right, i am referring to the app for windows.
the question might sounds silly,
is the application program residing in the PC and using the serial data output of the Arduino ?
Can i keep both programs running simultaneously ?
if you can provide an overview of the system configuration will help for sure.

That is right, the Arduino merely outputs a comma separated format with a checksum over the serial port. The Windows app connects to the serial port, so it will only work when the GUI code is uploaded to the Arduino.
As the Windows app requires all variables to be sent over serial at a high refresh rate it is a separate code. The example code is more easy to understand the operation of the CJ125 and the LSU 4.9. Bare in mind it is an educative and R&D product.
