5.6 DDE dynamic data exchange
DDE link
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a standard inter-application communication protocol built into
Microsoft Windows operating systems and supported by many applications that run under
Windows. DDE takes data from one application and gives it to another application. It allows
Windows programs that support DDE to exchange data between themselves.
Data from the Observer II software can be exchanged with Excel on DDE link.
Please note that it is not possible to exchange data directly from the recorder to third party
applications like Excel. Once Observer II software is installed with real timer viewer and
configured properly in PC, then it is possible to exchange data between Observer software and
Excel using DDE link.
Open real time viewer from start – programs – Observer II – Real-time viewer
Project – create DDE link in excel
Specify the path and file name as follows.
By default the file name will start with DDE and the project name with underscore in between to
avoid confusion in naming the file. Save the file name in PC at selected path as above to
