Configuring an Acquisition
After installing DaqViewXL and entering Excel, click the Configure... icon (first in the DaqViewXL
toolbar) to set up your system. This launches DaqViewXL’s main screen (see following figure). This
screen is slightly different from the stand-alone version shown at the beginning of the chapter.
(Specifically, DaqViewXL does not have a PostView or DIAdem button—Excel performs those functions
better. Also, the Go button is now the 2nd button on the toolbar window rather than the main screen.) The
earlier discussion of DaqView configuration still applies.

Data Header
DaqViewXL’s optional data header supplies the global acquisition parameters and the configuration of each
channel and places this information directly in the spreadsheet along with acquired data. This information
includes channel gain or thermocouple type, bipolar/unipolar setting, units, and channel label. To activate
Data Headers select the Use Data Headers icon in the DaqViewXL toolbar.
