Hints and Tips
•
If
Personal DaqView
is running as a stand-alone application when you start to use
Personal DaqViewXL
,
Personal DaqView
will switch to a special “server mode.” This “server mode” supports transactions with
“client” applications such as
Excel
. Note that you must close
Excel
prior to using
Personal DaqView
again
as a stand-alone application.
•
When you acquire data into a worksheet, some of the data may be displayed as a string of pound characters
(######).
Excel
will use these characters when a column is not wide enough to display all the digits of a
given number. Sufficient widening of the column will eliminate the symbols. You can widen columns
using the “Format, Column, Auto Fit Selection” menu command. Clicking on this menu-item
automatically adjusts column widths to accommodate the data.
•
Personal DaqViewXL
does not have to be used as an
Excel
“Add-In;” it can also be loaded as a workbook.
To do so, open
pDaqView.xla
using the
File Open
dialog box. The
Personal DaqViewXL
toolbar and
menu items will be added to
Excel
.
•
When loading the
Personal DaqViewXL
add-in manually,
Excel
does not automatically create a blank
workbook. To create a workbook, access the
File, New
menu item (after
Excel
loads with
Personal
DaqViewXL
).
Note:
When you load Personal DaqViewXL
as a workbook, it will not automatically load the next time
you run
Excel
. However, it will appear in the recently used list at the bottom of the
File
menu,
making it easy to load the next time you run
Excel
.
•
You can arm an acquisition from an
Excel
macro as shown in the following VBA code example:
Sub GoMacro()
Dim cbpMenu As CommandBarPopup
Dim cbButton As CommandBarButton
'Get the Personal DaqViewXL menu object.
Set cbpMenu = CommandBars("Tools").Controls("Personal DaqViewXL")
'Get the "Go!" command button object.
Set cbButton = cbpMenu.Controls(8)
'Execute the button's command if the button is enabled.
If cbButton.Enabled Then cbButton.Execute
End Sub
This is equivalent to clicking "Go!" on the
Personal DaqViewXL
menu or toolbar. Any of the other
commands on the
Personal DaqViewXL
menu may be executed in a similar manner.
•
If
Personal DaqView
cannot connect to your hardware on start-up, it will automatically switch to the
Simulated Instrument mode when loaded from
Personal DaqViewXL
.
