Accessing external test equipment using Excel
Greetings All,
I am looking into if it is possible to control a piece of test equipement using Excel's macros. More specifically, it is to control a spectrum analyzer via a GPIB interface card (IEEE 488). The macros would set-up the analyzer, take the data, store it in an Excel spreadsheet. From there, I can write the necessary procedures to make charts and perform some analysis of the data collected. If someone has some experience already regarding the above or can point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. Thanks. RichardG |
