out put to Microsoft excel

[Daku]

Hello.

I am new to LabVIEW and I am trying to get the output from NI SCXI 1600 using LabVIEW 8.0 in Microsoft Excel. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Raghu.

Hi Daku,

welcome to the Labview community

If you open up your labview help menu
and scroll down to Find Examples if you have enabled your hardware  radio button ( Left hand side ) then a search would reveal examples that you can use with your hardware.

Execel is part of the Report Generation Kit for Microsoft Office- It is not part of the base package.

Suggest you also investigate  taking  the basic labview course to brin g you up to speed!

You didn't indicate any special format for your file, so if you're just trying to save data you can just save it in a tab-delimited file which Excel can open directly. You can use the "Write to Spreadsheet File" function to do this. If you save it with the .xls extension then you can double-click the file in Windows Explorer to just open the file directly. That's how I save the files I generate from the testing we do here. No fuss, no muss.
