How to export data to Excel or other document in real-time using Signalexpress

[megan1313]

Hello,

I am very new to LabVIEW signalexpress.  I am using the NI USB 6009 to acquire voltage and current readings... was wondering if there is any way to export data to excel or other file format in real-time.

I am ultimately trying to obtain a continuous plot of power (v*i) vs. time, but cannot find a way to multiply signals or plot in real-time with signalexpress.

Thanks for reading!

Hi Megan,

There's no way to export and view the data in Excel in real-time.  What you might be interested in doing is using the Arithmetic or Formula Steps in SignalExpress. You'll be able to either multiply two signals (voltage and current) or multiply a signal against some constant.  This way you can see your data shown as power in real-time in SignalExpress.  

Hope that helps!

Kind Regards,

Allie

Nice answer, wouldn't have thought of that. Signalexpress is pretty awesome.
