Exporting Logs to Microsoft Excel

You can export logged signals from LabVIEW SignalExpress to Microsoft Excel. LabVIEW SignalExpress exports the date, start time, and name of the log, and lists the values of every data point logged for every signal in the log. To export a log to Microsoft Excel, right-click a signal or group of signals in the Logged Data window and select Export to Microsoft Excel from the shortcut menu.

Note  When you export data to Microsoft Excel, LabVIEW SignalExpress copies data samples to a clipboard for export. Use the Maximum Clipboard Data Export Size option on the Data page of the Options dialog box to increase the number of data samples the clipboard can contain. Depending on the amount of memory on a machine, large log files might not export successfully.

If Microsoft Excel is not running when you export a log file, LabVIEW SignalExpress opens Microsoft Excel and displays the exported data in a new book file. If Microsoft Excel is running when you export a log file, LabVIEW SignalExpress adds worksheets containing the exported data to the active book file. If a log contains multiple signals, each signal appears on a separate worksheet.

Note  LabVIEW SignalExpress supports importing logged data from .tdms files or other LabVIEW SignalExpress projects only. You cannot import logged data from Microsoft Excel.

LabVIEW SignalExpress does not save the Microsoft Excel file. You must save the exported file manually in Microsoft Excel.
