Hi Jason,good thing you pointed out yourself how spoon-fed the issue sounds - otherwise I might have done that
The good news on the other hand is, that as long as your data can be posted to Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE it can be posted to Excel as well using PLX DAQ. All you have to do is replace your "Serial.println(yourOutputHere);" commands with the PLX DAQ syntax which basically is "Serial.println("DATA,ValueForColumnA,ValueForColumnB,ValueForColumnC,....,ValueForColumnX");
You can read all about it in the Beginners Guide that is attached to the zip file or attached to the v2.11 post.
Try starting with the default sketch and try to understand the syntax. All it does is spam data in a loop to Excel, just the same way you want to send data. Next step, try to change the data to some different values and the final step is to implement the data you have measured using your build.
In case you have any specific questions rather then general ones please feel free to post here.

Hi there, thanks very much for the reply, I still haven't solve the problem but I have a rough idea of how the code and program works, I just have one last problem.
I've just made a little tweak towards the original code I got from the website.
const int GSR=A0;
int sensorValue=0;
int gsr_average=0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("CLEARDATA");
Serial.println("LABEL,SkinConductance,Time,TIMER");
Serial.println("RESETTIMER");
}
void loop(){
long sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) //Average the 10 measurements to remove the glitch
{
sensorValue=analogRead(GSR);
sum += sensorValue;
delay(5);
}
gsr_average = sum/10;
Serial.println( (String) "DATA,gsr_average,TIME,TIMER,AUTOSCROLL_20" );
}
All of the above was able to be recorded in Excel like the time and timer except for the gsr_average value, instead it records the literal word "gsr_average" instead of the value. Am I doing something wrong here? Sorry for the noob questions.
