10. Microsoft Excel Add-In
Overview
A Excel Add-In is provided that can automate the process of
inserting the data from a record file into a spreadsheet. The Add-
In is particularly useful when using record files based on templates
as it will open the specified Excel XLT template file before inserting
the data into the specified cells.
Installing the Add-In
When the Cygnus 3 Data Logger Manager application is installed a
‘Cygnus Import Tools.xla’ file is also copied into
‘Documents\Datalogger\Add-In’ folder. This XLA file contains
the Excel Add-In code.
To install the Add-In using:
Microsoft Office Excel 2000, XP, 2003
1. Start up Excel
2. On the main menu click ‘Tools’, then ‘Add-Ins’
3. The ‘Add-Ins’ dialog box is displayed
4. Click the ‘Browse’ button
5. Browse to ‘My Documents\Datalogger\Add-In’ and select
the ‘Cygnus Import Tools.xla’ file by clicking the ‘Ok’
button.
