Using Report generation toolkit to log data

[GDthomas]

Hi,

Is there a way to log data to an Excel template using report generation toolkit? I've used it to create a report from existing data in a CSV file but would like to eliminate the middle man so to speak and log data as it is read. It doesn't have to be fast maybe once a second. Are there some examples out there?

Thanks

Sure, you can use the template - you can find the basic exampe even in NI Example Finder -> Report Generation for Microsoft Office -> Excel Reports -> Excel Report - Generate from Template.vi.

Hope, that this will help...

You can find an even better example here in the Forums (I wrote it myself).  Do a search for "Revised Example" and take the obvious (first) choice.

You can change your code in a way, that the latest created file will be used as template file for new test. Then, new measurements you'll write to the end of the file.

Or (what is better option), is to have some separate small tool/process, which will check the folder with files, and concatenate them to one file - based on specified time of measurements, let's say.

Ali,

     Instead of "highjacking" someone else's Post, why don't you read the response I wrote to your question?  If you don't understand something and need further clarification for your post, ask it there.
