Set up spreadsheet to log data from Lookout Screen

[Charlie Tango]

I am a complete beginner using Lookout Software. We already have a system up and running on the production line.
I intend to use a PLC to store data in data registers during production. This information is then to be displayed on the Lookout screen.

This is all fine, but at certain events (by way of a signal from the PLC) I wish to log the current data to a spreadsheet.

If possible I would like this to be entered onto an existing template allowing certain calculations to be made once other information is entered manually.

It is being run on a Windows platform with the following system:-
LOOKOUT ENTERPRISE DEV> SERVER SW - 200 I/O (INC. 4 CONCU
LOOKOUT RUNTIME ONLY CLIENT SOFTWARE
FP-1000 NETWORK MODULE
FI
ELDPOINT OPTOMUX SW/DOC KIT
FP-TB-2 TERMINAL BASE
FP-AI-111 MODULE

Many Thanks,

[Khalid]

Hi Charlie,

Looks like you need to use the Spreadsheet Object. This does exactly what you're looking for.. except that it may not be in the format you want. Take a look at the Online Help on the Spreadsheet Object and see if it fits your needs.

Rgds,

Khalid 🙂

Hi Khalid,

Thanks for your speedy reply!

I have been trying for a few days to research the Spreadsheet Object as I thought it might be what I wanted.

Trouble is, I having to do my research on an iBook at the moment and so have not been able to view any example code, etc.

Is there a way I can get around this, as my resources are somewhat constrained at present.

Many thanks,

Charlie T 🙂
