Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2006 12:45 pm Post subject: PicoScope to Excel via DDE |
|
|
I am using an ADC-10 and I'm trying to get the data to transmit into Excel using DDE.
I run PicoScope and it reads the input as I would predict, however when I enter "=PLW|Current!Value" in excel, excel freezes up and I have to force quit it. PicoScope continues to run fine though.
Please help... |

Hello,
Try this method.
Run Excel and PicoScope.
Go to the edit menu and select copy as text.
Switch to Excel and select a suitable cell location and right-click paste special.
Then select paste as link.
Excel will now continuously refresh the data from PicoScope.
Best regards,
Michael |

OK, I've tried that method but I still get the same result: Excel locks up and I have to force quit it.
Does it matter that I'm running on XP? |
