Clearsheet PLX DAQ

Is this the right place to ask about PLX DAQ?

Either way, I'm trying to re label the first column of my worksheet, but it still remains the same (Date,Time,Timer,millis()).

void setup(){
  
Serial.begin(9600);
// while the serial stream is not open, do nothing:
while (!Serial)
{
    // do nothing
} ;
  Serial.println("CLEARSHEET");
  Serial.println("CLEARDATA");
  Serial.println("LABEL,A,B,C,D,E");

}

Pretty that's all there is to the code, please help??

The (!Serial) is because I am using Leonardo

Please post code that will compile and run, as described in the "How to use this forum" post.

Also, as explained in those instructions, tell us where you got PLX-DAQ, what version of Excel you are using, and whether you loaded it into Excel properly.

My apologies.

As for where I downloaded it, here's the link PLX-DAQ version 2 - now with 64 bit support! (and further new features) - Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer - Arduino Forum. I am using 2.11 version for PLX-DAQ. I am using Excel 2016 32-bit. I'm sure I loaded it properly as it is able to print the data values, it's just the column names that's being a pain

const int flexPin0 = A0; //pin A0 to read analog input
//Variables:
int value0; //save analog value



void setup(){
  
Serial.begin(9600);
// while the serial stream is not open, do nothing:
while (!Serial)
{
    // do nothing
} ;
  Serial.println("CLEARSHEET");
  //Serial.println("CLEARDATA");
  Serial.println("LABEL,A,B,C,D,E");

}

void loop(){
  
  value0 = analogRead(flexPin0);         //Read and save analog value from potentiometer
  Serial.print("DATA,TIME,TIMER,");
  Serial.println(value0);               //Print value  
  delay (1000);

  
  
}

This works for me. It takes a moment to clear the sheet:

void setup(){
 
Serial.begin(9600);
// while the serial stream is not open, do nothing:
while (!Serial)
{
    // do nothing
} ;
  Serial.println("CLEARSHEET");
  Serial.println("CLEARDATA");
  delay(100);
  Serial.println("LABEL,A,B,C,D,E");

}
void loop() {}
