passing data acqusition parameters from Measure to Excel

[Tony Gozdz]

How do I automatically insert the number of points and frequency from the Measure setup screen (DAQ-700) into the spreadsheet?

If I don't do it manually, there is no way to determine these parameters from the single column of data placed by Measure in the worksheet.

Tony,

Unfortunately, there is no way to programmatically enter the acquisition parameters into your spreadsheet. You will have to do it manually.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a pleasant day.

Darren,

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps you could suggest this very minor modification to its programmer(s); I can't even think why s/he wouldn't include this fundamental functionality in the first place. It's not too much to ask from a $500 (yep!) add-on to Excel, wouldn't you agree?

Tony,

Thanks for the suggestion. Usually we suggest that whenever customers want to customize their acquisition in any way, they use one of our more powerful, robust development tools like LabVIEW or Measurement Studio. With LabVIEW, sending DAQ data to a database, along with the acquisition parameters, is a piece of cake, particularly with the new "Waveform" datatype in LabVIEW 6i.

Anyway, good luck with your application, and have a great day.

P.S. - I got your voicemail, but only after I answered your discussion post...so don't worry, I got it.
