Excel Scope - MS Excel-based Measure Software
Excel Scope is a data acquisition software which
enables direct importing of measure data from CONEC analog-to-digital
converter to MS Excel. This software supports data acquisition as well as
data analysis and report making using Excel spreadsheet
functions.
For instance, Excel Scope allows you to make an
inspection report after acquiring data by utilizing Excel macro functions.
Like this, you can easily establish a measure system that meets your own
needs.
Please note that changing of macro is to be
conducted on your responsibility.
This DAC software allows
you to simulate data acquisition without requiring an analog-to-digital
converter.
Try out its basic features before purchasing the
hardware.
(API-PAC(WDM) software driver for the demo board must be
installed on your PC.)

Excel Scope can acquire maximum 32-channel data from CONTEC analogue
input board or from PC card at a high speed, and can display them in
graphs or write them onto Excel sheet. It also allows you to set up
trigger function, continuous execution and real-time calculation as well
as to output the measure result as a report.
- Excel Scope is highly suited for use in an environment which involves
high-speed monitoring. It has already been used in the following
applications:
Measurement of acceleration,
strain and oscillation
- Excel Scope is a program which has been developed by combining
ACX-PAC(W32) components. Purchasing ACX-PAC(W32) along with Excel2000(or
Excel2002 or Exce2003) allows you to modify and customize the program to
suit your needs.

Precision of measure:
Approx.±1.5mV at ±10V range
(This is when using a signal source
which incorporates a high-speed operational amplifier. When the
ambient temperature is either 0°C or 50°C, there may be an error of
0.1% with the maximum range.)
The maximum sampling speed will
vary depending on the PC CPU, memory and hard disk
performance.
