Is it possible to launch an Excel file from teststand then to edit and analyze the data contained?

Hello, I am in training course, and we are deciding if we will buy the Teststand software to do some automated tests. Before that, I would like to know if it is possible to launch an Excel file from teststand and then analyzes the data contained in this one thanks to this software knowing that the file could contain int, double, char, char*.I tried to do that with the evaluation version but without much success, I do not even manage to charge the Excel file. Thank you in advance for your answers and good days to you Cordially Gate JocelynTrainee MGEUPS by Schneider electric Montbonnot, 38, France

Hi,

You can do this either by using the ActiveX adapter to interface with Excel's or by calling a code module which communicates with the Excel (such as LabVIEW, CVI etc.)

I am sure there are examples on the NI website.
