Compiler/ADS1232REF: Any Microsoft VBA sample program to use ADS1232REF

Part Number: ADS1232REF

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

 I would like to use ADS1232REF

in MicrosoftVisualBasicApplications in Microsoft excel 2010.

Is there any sample program to use ADS1232REF?

Best regards.

  • Hi Shirokawa-san,

    Welcome to the E2E forum! Unfortunately we do not have any examples of how to connect a COM port using Excel/VBA. It would seem to be possible, but we have not tried that method before.

    What we have done in the past is to use a console terminal program like HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, Putty, etc., and capture data to a file as it is being streamed to the console. We then read that data into Excel or some other program.

    You cannot use the virtual COM port from the ADS1232REF while in Scale mode. Scale functionality was designed as a standalone scale with no PC intervention. Communication via the COM port works only while in Analysis mode. In most cases using the ADS1x3x GUI is the easiest to use.

    Console functions are discussed in the ADS1232REF users's guide starting on page 18 in section 5.

    Best regards,

  • Dear Bob,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand.
    I will try TeraTerm, Putty, or other software.

    Best wishes.
