13. Data Transmission to the PC
Microsoft Excel is a widely used software for calculation and visualization of data in table form.
It also enables data to be converted into other formats. Therefore the data transmission from the
VM30-H to the PC is based on Excel.
13.1. Preparing the Import of Data into Excel
The instrument uses a serial (RS-232) interface for PC connection (see section 17). A
commercially available RS-232 / USB adapter can also be used.
For processing, displaying and saving data, a Microsoft Excel file is provided. It is compatible
with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 . The Excel file includes a Visual Basic Macro
which enables Excel to read data from the serial interface and to sort it into table fields.
To give the macro access to the serial interface, the file
vm30.dll
must be copied into the system
folder:
…/WINNT under Windows 2000 or
…/WINDOWS under Windows XP
Please copy the Excel table file
VM30.XLS
into your working directory.
Notice: The latest versions of the files vm30-h_english.xls and vm30.dll can be downloaded
free of charge from our web site at
http://www.mmf.de/software_download.htm
.
13.2. Importing VM30-H Data with the Excel Macro
Before you open the file vm30-h_english.xls please make sure that the use of macros is enabled.
Open the menu Tools / Macro / Security. If you select the security level „Medium“ you will be
prompted to enable macros each time you open the Excel file. The security level “Low” presents
no prompt and macros are allowed. However, be aware of the potential risk of macro viruses
when using low security.
Open the file vm30-h_english.xls and save it under a new name to avoid overwriting.
