How to Use the Spreadsheet
The Excel workbook, Fluke1730-ExcelTool_Vx.xx.xlsm, (ExcelTool-available at
www.fluke.com), communicates with the Fluke 1730 using remote commands
through the USB ports. The Excel file supports both the 5520A and 5522A
Calibrators.
Note
The Excel file uses macros. Make sure execution of macros is
enabled on your PC.
Make sure that Fluke Energy Analyze is closed when using the
Excel program. After closing Energy Analyze, disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable or turn off and turn on the instrument to
reset the communication protocol in the instrument.
In order to communicate, you must know which COM port the Fluke 1730 uses.
To find the COM port:
1. Make sure the instrument is powered and connected with the PC.
2. On the PC keyboard, press <Windows key> and type -R.
3. Type devmgmt.msc and press <ENTER>.
4. Go to Ports (COM & LPT) and double-click to open the sub-tree.
5. Find Fluke 1730 Energy Logger. The port number is shown in parenthesis
after this phrase, for example, COM6.
The workbook contains sheets for various tasks:
• Dashboard – Live measurement parameters, set current input range/mode,
COM port configuration
• Phasor – Displays a phasor diagram
• Calibration & Verification – Procedures to perform the calibration and
verification
