How do I send string data into DIAdem via a channel?

[DecaGregg]

Using a TO.DATASHEET reference, ChnValSet doesn't work with strings. It's fine with numbers and dates, just not strings. I'm not sure if the CHT variable is useful for me or not. Thanks.

Hi Deca,

You can use the CmdExecuteSync method of the DIAdem.TOCommand interface to set the value of a text channel. For example passing the string "CHT(1,1) := 'test'" as a parameter to the CmdExecuteSync method will set the 1st row of the 1st channel to "test". Please refer to the DIAdem help for more documentation on the CHT function.

I hope this helps! Please post back if I wasn't clear enough in explaining how to do this or if you have any problems getting it to work.
