Integrating with Microsoft Excel
Cygnus offer an Excel Add-In tool that can be used to directly
extract the thickness measurement data from the data logger files
stored on the SD card in the gauge.
The data in a Record produced from a Template can be inserted
into an Excel
®
Spreadsheet - so each piece of data has an optional
destination cell reference – this is the spreadsheet cell the data
will be copied into, i.e. cell ‘D12’.
An XLT file (Excel
®
Template) can also be specified to be used as a
template for the Excel document produced. So a company report,
as an XLT file, can be used to create each new blank report
document that will then receive the thickness measurement and
other data collected by the Gauge.
Measurement Points
Templates contain measurement points for each thickness
measurement required. Each measurement point consists of a
“Name”, a “Reference Thickness”, a “Minimum Thickness”, a “Cell
Reference” and the “Thickness Measurement” itself.
The “Reference” and “Minimum Thickness” are optional, but when
included they allow wastage calculations in reports and minimum
alarm alerts when measuring.
