The WinDaq ExcelLink, short for WinDaq Advanced Trigger ExcelLink, is a bridge between the WinDaq software and Microsoft Excel. It enables a real-time connection to Excel spreadsheets (32- or 64-bit) and can stream data to Excel at high speed. Four trigger methods are available: two-point Windows trigger, one-point slope trigger with pre- and post-trigger data, manual single-row and block trigger, and programmable event-driven single-row trigger.

Even though Excel can store over 1,000,000 rows of data, this may be a small buffer for high-speed data acquisition. Hence, the trigger modes can be utilised to capture only the data of interest. ExcelLink supports advanced math to construct various trigger methods and evaluates every data point in WinDaq when assessing the trigger conditions.

The Window Trigger can capture signals inside or outside a range within two predefined start/stop conditions. The Slope Trigger with pre- and post-trigger can capture signals before and after a predefined trigger point. The Event Trigger can capture signals at the moment trigger conditions are met. The Derivative Trigger can capture the rate of change or glitches. The Paced Trigger can capture data at predefined intervals, and the Delayed Trigger can capture data at a predefined time after the trigger condition is met. The Manual Trigger can capture signals with the operator’s key instruction.

Product Features

• Supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Excel
• Supports channel expansion in ChannelStretch operation
• Capable of recording to both Excel and WinDaq files simultaneously
• Powerful trigger methods: (more information)
  • Window Trigger – to capture data inside or outside a range
  • Slope Trigger – to capture data when reading crossing a point
  • Event Trigger – to capture single row when an event happens
  • Derivative Trigger – to trigger on rate of change, such as a glitch
  • Paced Trigger – to capture a single row at predefined pace
  • Delayed Trigger – to capture data after a predefined delay from the trigger point
  • Manual Trigger – to capture data based on manual operation
  • Digital Channel Trigger – to capture data based on digital input conditions
• No programming needed
• High speed (up to 160K s/s) real-time data logging directly to Microsoft Excel
• The license stays with the instrument, so you can use the instrument at any PC to stream data to Excel
  NOTE: For ChannelStretch configurations one ExcelLink licence is required per device.

Allows calculated channels, derivative, integration, moving average, automatic file management, automatic scaling, and more.

The Waveforms displayed in windows 1 and 3 are the Advanced CODAS inputs. Advanced CODAS applied the desired analysis, calculates the resulting waveforms, and outputs the results in windows 2 and 4.

Product Features

• Disk Streamer Performance
  Generates calculated channels of any length limited only by the size of your hard drive.
• Insert and Overwrite Modes
  Advanced CODAS allows calculated waveforms to overwrite or append themselves to existing channels.
• Menus Or Batch Files
  A single keystroke from the Playback screen activates the Advanced CODAS menu system of easy-to-use scripts. Simply enter calculation parameters, and activate the function. Often-used scripts may be combined into a batch file.
• 7 Calculation Functions
  Differentiator, Integrator, Rectifier, Moving Average Filter, Arithmetic Operations Utility, Peak and Valley Detector, and Report Generator. (see below for more details)

Calculation Functions

• Differentiator
  Calculates a rate of change waveform with built-in, adjustable low pass filtering.
• Integrator With 4 Reset Methods
  Generates the area bounded by the curve reset on zero crossing of the input waveform, level of the output waveform, time, or as a function of an external event.
• Rectifier
  Used in the analysis of polarized signals, this function produces a rectified view of any waveform. Supported rectification functions are absolute value (full wave), and positive and negative unipolar (half wave).
• Moving Average Filter
  (Also referred to as a boxcar integrator.) Use this utility for filtering noise, or for generating mean waveforms. The function can also simulate a high pass filter to eliminate base line shifting.
• Arithmetic Operations
  This function allows you to combine waveforms as a function of arbitrary mathematical formulas. Also supports phase shifting of selected waveforms in precise increments.
• Peak and Valley Detector
  Detects cycle-by-cycle inflection points (minimum and maximum excursion) on any periodic waveform. Allows peak-only, valley-only, and peak and valley selections.
• Report Generator
  Generates a report of peak detected waveforms in spreadsheet (CSV) or ASYST/ASYSTANT format. Reports value at peak, value at valley, rate, and mean. Rate information may be reported in Hz, cycles per minute, or an interval in seconds. Reports values cycle-by-cycle, or on a multiple cycle averaging basis.

Real-time data logging directly to Microsoft Excel (supports MS Office 2003 or higher).
No programming required.
Free Trial Version.

WinDaq/XL is a program that bridges WinDaq software with Excel. The WinDaq/XL software will allow you to use your Excel program to analyse WinDaq data in real time. This is achieved by taking WinDaq waveform data and moving it directly to a user-selected range of cells in Excel.

Product Features

• Real time data logging directly to Microsoft Excel
• Compatible with MS Office 2003 or higher – Excel MUST be installed as 32-bit version – New Advanced  ExcelLink software supports both 32 and 64-bit Excel
• Computer Time Stamp field
• Trigger Options
• “Run WinDaq Minimized” function
• True Multitasking Operation
• No programming
• Single-Shot or Looping Real-Time Modes
• Trigger Mode Support for High-Speed Snapshots
• Instant Export from the Playback Software.

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