Pico TC08 USB THERMOELEMENT DATA LOGGER PP222 Manual Do Utilizador

The easiest way to transfer data to Excel is to use the PicoLog software application.

If, however, you need to do something that is not possible using PicoLog, you can write an Excel macro
which calls  usbtc08.dll to read in a set of data values. The Excel Macro language is similar to
Visual Basic.

The example  USBTC0832.XLS reads in 20 values of the cold junction temperature and channel 1
temperature, one per second, and assigns them to cells A1..B20.

While it is possible to access all of the driver routines described earlier, it is easier to use the special
LabVIEW access routine. The  usb_tc08.llb library in the DRIVERS sub-directory shows how to
access this routine.

To use this routine,  copy usb_tc08.llb and  usb_tc0832.vi to your LabVIEW  user.lib
directory. You will then need  usb_tc08 sub-vi, and an example sub-vi which demonstrate how to use
them. You can use one of these sub-vis for each of the channels that you wish to measure. The sub-vi
returns a temperature for thermocouple types.

The DRIVERS directory contains the following files, created in Visual Basic 6:

USBTC0832.VBP
USBTC0832.BAS
USBTC0832.FRM
USBTC0832.VBW

The example program  usb_tc08.vee shows how to collect a block of data from the  usb_tc08.
There are prototypes in  USB_TC08.vh.
