Description

WinDaq ExcelLink Advanced Trigger Real-Time ExcelLink

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.
