How do I get timestamps rather than data points in my excel document?

[liljoe0804]

I am using Signal Express to monitor 6 channels of thermocouple and 6 channels of transducer data.  I have finally been able to get everything setup the way I want it but now I can't do anything with the data I am aquiring.  If I convert the data to excel from the log it generates two seperate excel books neither of which have the timestamps that I need.  I also will then have to cut and paste the day away to get the pressure and temperature together in the same book.  I have tried saving the data but that is even worse because then it just generates one massive txt document that has all the data but it is not sorted according to the tags.

Hi liljoe0804,

Currently there is not a way to get the absolute timestamps into your excel spreadsheet. You are going to have to manually add the start time to the relative time of your data. The start time can be found in the exported ASCII file as well as in the data in Signal Express. Each recorded step in Signal Express can be exported individually, but the data is separate. You are going to have to manually combine the data sets. Your questions are valid and these are excellent product suggestions. Product suggestions can be made on our web site by selecting feedback from the following link.
