WinDaq ExcelLink bridges WinDaq software with Microsoft Excel. Using WinDaq ExcelLink will allow you to use Excel to analyze WinDaq data in real time by taking WinDaq waveform data and moving it directly to a user-selected range of cells in Excel.

There are digital input channels on most of our products, such as Event, Rate and Counter. Digital Channel trigger allows user to control when to send data to Excel based on the state or content of digital input channels.

   

 

Applications of Digital Channel Trigger

Besides simple triggers conditions like Counter=83, Rate=23, and Digital Input =23, here are some interesting applications submitted by our customers.

• Send one row of data to Excel at the moment when Event input is low. To do this, enable Digital Input channel on WinDaq by checking channel 9, then in Event Trigger tab of ExcelLink, enter "CH9%2==0" as the trigger condition. The modulo operation extracts bit 0 of the digital input before the comparison. Note that although the Digital Channel is labeled as Channel 9 in WinDaq, WinDaq internally places it as the first channel, so it appears in the first column.
• Send one row of data to Excel whenver the Counter channel changes its value. To do this, enable Counter Input channel on WinDaq by checking channel 11, then in Event Trigger tab of ExcelLink, enter "CH11!=CH[T-1]11" as the trigger condition.
  
  
• Send one row of data to Excel when the content of Couter channel is a multiple of ten. To do this, Enable Counter Input Channel by checking channel 9, then in Event Trigger tab of ExcelLink, enter "CH11%10==0" as the trigger condition.
