Can Measure function as Datalogging Software?

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>Measure
Primary Software Version: 2.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: I want Measure for Excel to act as a datalogger by logging my data at specified intervals. I also want special functionality like maximum value detection in my logged data. Can Measure do this?

Solution: Measure is simply an interface to DAQ, GPIB, and Serial hardware through Excel. There are no custom tools in Measure to allow you to log data. In order to have Excel log your data or perform computations, averages, etc., you would need to write some Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code and implement this in an Excel macro. VBA is the built-in programming language in Microsoft Excel. There are a few examples in our Example Programs Database (EPD) that would aid you in writing an Excel application that logs data to your spreadsheet. The link to our Measure EPD entries is in the Related Links section below.

National Instruments does not provide support for VBA coding or macro writing. In order to get help for writing these applications please consult the on-line help in VBA, or check out the Microsoft Developer's Network.
