Interesting Waveform Logging to Excel Chanllenge

[maxidivine]

Hello, I have simulated two sinusoidal signals. One is a sweep signal. I would like to log the data points of the signals to excel and explore the possibility of plotting the same graph in excel as it is in LabVIEW.  I have atached the VIs.

Thanks a lot.

Since you are using the waveform data type, the simplest way would be to use either the Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet or the Write Measurement File function. Excel can import either. If you want to use an actual Excel file, then it's not much of a challenge if you have the report generation toolkit. If you don't, then you have to manually use the same ActiveX functions that are in the toolkit. Have you done a search of 'Excel' in the forums. There are thousands and thousands of similar posts.

Also, among the many Excel examples shipped with LabVIEW, the "Excel Macro Example.vi" is a good one showing how to use an Excel template with an Excel Macro to populate your spreadsheet and graph your data.
