Read Excel Data and plot a graph in Labview

How do you read data from excel and then output the data to an external sensor (such as an oscilloscope)continuously?

There are two issues:

Read excel data: Excel is a proprietary format, so you cannot read it directly. Once possibility is to use OLE automation to get the values. Use your example browser and have a look at the shipping example called "Write table to XL.vi". You can use the same method to read cell values.

Output the data to an oscilloscope: We probably need more details. What kind of DAQ hardware do you have? Do you simply want to generate analog output voltages on your card which is wired to the oscilloscope?

If we are dealing with sounds, you could even use your sound card wired to the oscilloscope. Have a look at the example named "Continuous Sound Output.vi"
