Click to expand...

I've done this on a 5/40.. what I did was simply:
1) Create a topic in linx for the device (I've done it with modem/DH+).
2)Go to Copy DDE Link to Clipboard... when configuring... find what you're looking for and how you'd like it presented in excel. For example.. if I wanted to take 20 words, but instead of pasting one large column I wanted five groups with four words in each group, I would select one of the four word groups at a time....
3)In Excel... right click where you'd like the information and paste the link.

To collect more data go back and repeat steps 2 and 3.




Good Luck!!

Sir Thanks for Reply
