Homework 11 - Active X

Write a VI for each of the following problems:

  1. Non-Active X communication of data.

    2. Write an ascii data file using LabVIEW and save it as a *.xls (excel file).

    The file should be readable when you open the file using excel.

    The data file should look like the following:

    Note the date and time stamp and several lines of text describing an experiment. Label the two columns of data.
    Using FOR LOOPS in labVIEW create 100 data points where the voltage values are given by a random number between 0 and 1.

  2. Non-active X communication of data (continued)

    3. Modify your VI to (A) so that after the data file is written to the disk, you invoke Excel to open the file using a DOS command
    line from within LabVIEW.

  3. ACTIVE X

Modify the VI we used in class which uses active X to write data directly to Excel. Incorporate this VI with the one you wrote
for (A) to save your file directly into EXCEL.
