Lower-level I/O With Measure

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

Problem: I would like to be able to use low-level hardware functions in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. Can I execute functions like "ReadData(s as String)" or "WriteData(s as String)" in VBA if I have Measure installed?

Solution: Measure only provides support for basic I/O with DAQ, GPIB, and Serial hardware. If you are looking to perform lower-level I/O in Excel, you may want to consider using ComponentWorks, a set of ActiveX controls for instrumentation. The base package of ComponentWorks is included on the Measure 2.0 CD. Check out the ComponentWorks Support Website (in the Related Links section below) for more information about using ComponentWorks.

Remember that National Instruments does not provide support for VBA coding. Please check out the on-line help in VBA for more information, or check out the Microsoft Developer's Network for some great programming tutorials and resources.
