Duh, a lot to reply on let's give it a try!
@Wosche:
Wosche:
Yeah my debug window shows that for example "4,3" is sent. And this is the Problem, because than it interprets it as two separated things. (...) Maybe you have an more elegant solution to this, that doesn't need that much processing time
That shouldn't be the case. If it sends the string with a comma already you need to work on your delimiter in Excel. Maybe try using '=4.3 (make sure of the apostrophe) or format the cell as text and type 4.3. Since I don't have direct access to my Arduino dev IDE at the moment all I can say is that I once managed to make it send a point-separated float to the Arduino. It is possible
Wosche:
Is there a possibilty to read out TextBoxes of an Excel GUI for example?
I would have an ugly solution for this, So that that what I write into the GUI textboxes is written into cells, and the PLX-DAQ takes it from there, but is there a more direct solution for this?
And thanks a lot!
No, there is currently no possibility. A maybe lightly less ugly workaround is to label the checkboxes and tick them to switch between values. Of course you can only story 4 values by that and your Arduino needs to know which box is what and interpret the checked/unchecked values (1/0) to the numbers again. Is ugly as well....
In case you are familiar with VBA (isn't that hard) you can adjust the code (insert a textbox, create a new command "GETCONTENTFROMTEXTBOX" and instead of reading the cell value read the text box value).
And: you're welcome

Just wanted to ask if PLX-DAQ v2.11 is supported on Mac. I don't have a mac but the code I am working on is probably tested on a macbook.
Neither do I, sorry :-/ just give it a try but I reckon since there is a lot of API calls it might fail. I guess a similar question has been asked in this thread as well once before

I just tried to run DefaultSketch.ino on MKR1000 with Arduino IDE version 1.8.4, but every time I try to Connect and start logging, the UI kind of crashes and the excel shut down. It restarts and recovers the PLX-DAQ xlms file.
Edit: I am using Office 365 ProPlus, so may be this is the reason. Can I install an older office and keep my own at the same time if Office 365 is not supported with PLX-DAQ?
Office 365 is the web version, isn't it? That will surely have trouble to connect to all the APIs used.
Not sure about having to versions installed at the same time. It might work that they can start and run, but I don't know if they might have problems with updating / overriding system files they both use.
What I did (in the beginning to find out why PLX DAQ v1 wasn't running on specific Windows / Office versions) was to use Virtual PC software and install another version of Office in there. It is quite unhandy but at least it works even with Arduino

Hi net^devil,
thank you so much four your Excel-File. I just startet in electronics and programming my arduino. I was not happy with the serial monitor and plotter - now I should be able to work with my output data in Excel.
Funny thing, that is exactly where I started from as well I just wanted a way better way to visualize my data.
atExcel:
My question. Is it okay for you, if I publish some tutorials of your software at YouTube? I've got a German Excel YouTube-Channel www.youtube.com/athehos and would like to demonstrate PLX-DAQ.
Well, since I am German as well let me put it like this: na siggi ! ("sure do")
As mentioned in the code PLX DAQ v2 is widely inspired by v1 and I do not hold any rights on the code or rather do not want to hold any rights. Use it as you like, mod it as you like, spend me a beer if we meet one time and you like (you sure might have a higher chance meeting me since we are both from Germany ). It will be my pleasure to have a wider audience get in touch with the software and it might increase my motivation to finally get to work on v3 (alternative main code with hopefully much more stability).
Greetings to all of you!
