Excel data logging from rs232

sure! here's a tutorial on how to log data from an rs232 device using excel.

step 1: connect your rs232 device to your computer using a usb-to-serial adapter if necessary.

step 2: open excel and create a new workbook.

step 3: go to the "data" tab and select "from other sources" - "from data connection wizard."

step 4: in the data connection wizard, select "other/advanced" as the data source and click "next."

step 5: choose "microsoft ole db provider for odbc drivers" as the provider and click "next."

step 6: in the connection string, enter the connection details for your rs232 device. this may include the com port number, baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits.

step 7: test the connection to ensure that excel can communicate with your rs232 device.

step 8: once the connection is successful, you can choose to import the data directly into a new worksheet or to load the data into the data model.

step 9: you can now set up a data logging mechanism in excel to continuously capture the data from the rs232 device. you can use excel vba to automate this process.

here's an example code snippet in vba that logs data from an rs232 device to an excel worksheet:

this code snippet uses the mscomm control to communicate with the rs232 device and continuously logs the data to the first column of the first worksheet in the excel workbook.

remember to adjust the com port number, baud rate, and other settings to match your rs232 device.

i hope this tutorial helps you get started with logging data from an rs232 device in excel! let me know if you have any questions.
