Do you mean read excel? What do you mean by treatments?
You can use report generation toolkit or ActiveX for accessing Excel in LabVIEW.

  • Excel with Labview 6?

    I'm trying to get Excel '97 to work with Labview 6.02, but I'm always receiving error message: -2147319784: "old format or invalid type library". I modified windows registry as told in LV knowledgebase. After that I could see Excel components in ActiveX pull down menus. I have tried to run demos such as "Open Excel And Make visible.vi" but they always output the error message. I have tried this with both Windows 2000 and NT. Other programmes, for instance MS Access, seem to work fine. What is the catch?

    Anders,
    You have run into a special case of the problem that actually has a work around for it. However, you will have to contact LabVIEW technical support to obtain the temporary fix since they need to keep track of all the people with this special case.

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

  • How can I create a new excel workbook only with labview

    Hi everyone...
    I'm trying to create a new excel workbook only with labview but I can't find the file in the hard disk.
    Someone knows?

    You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
    Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.

  • How can i work simultaniously with labVIEW and Excel ?

    Hello . I study engineering and need some help with labVIEW, and the connection to microsoft excel.

    Hi
    NI offers an "Report generation toolkit". You get some VI's with this toolkit and so you can directly create your reports from LV.
    Another possibility is the communication through ActiveX. There is a nice link with application notes and LV examples for that:

  • Open CSV files in Excel through labview

       Dear,
    Am not famillar with *.csv files but I would like to know if it's possible to : open a CSV files in excel through labview.
    I can't used ActiveX for my application. This application is on Labview 8.2
    Regards

    Hi Massif,
    a .csv file is a spreadsheet file, so use the "open spreadsheet file" VI.
    Cheers

  • How do I enter data in excel with a specified number of decimal points?

    I have several inputs that are being written into excel using the "Write to Spreadsheet file" vi. One of my inputs only writes to excel with 3 decimal points. I would like it to have four, how do I change this?

    Pop-up on the top input to the "Write to Spead...." labled "Format".
    Chnage it from the default of "%.3f" to "%.4f"

  • Replacing a PLC with LabView Article

    I just read the article "Replacing a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with LabVIEW and FieldPoint for Composting Plant Automation ". I am very concerned by the author's lack of knowledge about current PLC's. This article does not fairly compare the two platforms and is not accurate. For example, the author states that 100 msec is a typical response time for a PLC. This is absurd. Today, even low end PLCs can achieve responses time below 10 msec and high end PLCs even as low as 1 msec. It all boils down to specifying the right hardware for the application. One real danger the author does not address with building a "soft PLC" is the potential for the I/O not to fail to a safe condition if the operating system (Windows) lock
    s up. This can be disastrous and unsafe for many control applications. I would suggest any reader that is seriously considering replacing a PLC in an industrial environment with a "soft PLC" watch out for this potential shortcoming. Readers can visit www.isa.org to find additional information on this issue.
    I would not dispute that for a pure data acquisition application LabView can offer a superior solution. The safety conern can be mitigated if there is a "hard wired" safety system that has been properly designed. However, many times the PLC may provide safety shutdowns that depend on its true deterministic operating system and high reliability.
    I hope that readers will not interpret this as a slam against LabView but as encouragement research this issue further from a different perspective.

    I can see from your comments that you have a firm grasp of the PLC/vs PC concept, and agree with your comments. I have been an instrumentation developer/integrator for 36+ years, and have first hand experience with the situation(s) to which you refer. I have found the optimum solution has been a combination of PC/MMI software and PLC hardware. I have many such systems up and running in different industries, and have found this to be the best overall solution. Let the PC do what it does best(MMI display, complex calculations and decision making), and the PLC what it does best(solid deterministic control, with a non-windows operating system). I usually use an OPC server for communication between the two units, and with proper software design on both ends,
    and a hardwired E-Stop system, excellent overall opertion/safety is achieved.
    Your comments should serve as good stimulus for other developers.

  • Error -2146960888 when opening excel from labview using active x

    attempting to open an instance of excel from labview using active x, I even tried using the "open excel and make visible.vi" found on this site. I get errors every time, Inserting a break right after the property node, I found that it does open excel with no active workbook. once the program runs to ompletion excel terminates. The error is on the line right after the property node executes.

  • Writing array to Excel with ActiveX

    Common question I suppose, but I'm still having issues despite reading several posts about the issue.
    Problem is I'm trying to write a 1D array of data to 1 column in an excel document. However, unless I add an artificial column (of blank values or some other bogus #), ActiveX only writes the 1st value of my array to the column.
    Look at the attached. In Picture 1 I add an articial column and everything writes fine. In Picture 2 I don't add this column and only the 1st value of the array gets written in each row.
    Suggestions?
    Thank you.

    I haven't done much with Excel and LabVIEW by way of ActiveX.  Creating a small VI and duplicating what you show in your screenshot, I see the same behavior.
    I believe that Excel interprets a 1-D array as something that runs horizontally.  So a 1-D array consists of a single row of cells and N number of columns.
    (Actually LabVIEW interprets a 1-D array like this as well, but it allows you to show an array onscreen either vertically or horizontally.)
    Converting to a 2-D array and transposing is what you need to do to have that 1-D array be treated as a single column of cells.
    Note that you don't have to use build array and append an empty array to it.  You can just use build array as is and it will turn a 1-D array into a 2-D array.

  • How do I count arbitrary pulses from an oscilloscope with labview

    I am looking at arbitrary pulses on a TEK 2024B oscilloscope.  I want to use LabView to count those pulses and record a time stamp for each pulse (perhaps to an excel spreadsheat).  The duration of the measurement is over ten minutes and the pulses, on the average, occur once per millisecond.  How do I count/record these pulses with LabView?

    Jay,
    I would start by downloading the Instrument Driver for the 2024B from ni.com/idnet It should have the functions that the scope is capable of implemented there. If you have problems using the driver please post back.

  • What is advantage of excel over labview measurment file

    hi
         i am doing some data acquision work in labview..i want to know that for data storage which  will be better   , microsoft excel or labview measurment file..       whats advantage &disadvantage of same

    Well in my opinion the best type of file depends on your needs, really... I don't think that one is intrinsicly better than the other.
    Do you need to be able to read your file with another soft than labview ?
    Do you need to have particular headers on your file ?
    If you make list of all the possibility you want relativly to your data files then we can discuss on the best format, do you follow me ?
