Record data taken by NI ELVIS impedance analyzer

[ashkonjhu]

I need to display data taken by the impedance analyzer VI (magnitude and phase which are used to find resistance and reactance) in chart form in a given time interval (in addition to the polar graphic displayed currently). Also, when the program is terminated, the data should be saved to a spreadsheet. I am having trouble recording each variable in a separate column in both the spreadsheet and the chart. Apparently they need to be separate channels.

So, are you just needing a "log" option within the impedance analyzer? If so, then I would suggest to modify the impedance analyzer source code to write the data to a spreadsheet file.

The source code VI for the impedance analyzer can be found within the ...\Program Files\National Instruments\NI ELVIS 1.0\Source Code\Impedance Analyzer directory. You could add the Write to Spreadsheet File VI to the program to create a VI that would log the data to a spreadsheet file.

I hope this helps.
