WinDaq/XL Data Acquisition Software Add On
Intro to WinDaq/XL
WinDaq/XL WinDaq Add-on

Learn how WinDaq/XL is used to stream data from WinDaq data acquisition software directly into Microsoft Excel in real time.

Description

WinDaq/XL is a program that bridges WinDaq software with Excel. Using the WinDaq/XL software will allow you to use your Excel program 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.

Note: WinDaq/XL is an add-in program to WinDaq Software and requires WinDaq Acquisition to be running in order to stream data to Excel (unless importing data through the WinDaq Waveform Browser). To stream data in multiple instances (devices) you must run WinDaq with the first device then start WinDaq/XL; run WinDaq with the second device then start WinDaq/XL; etc.
