Exporting Data File from a Micrologix1500

Hey guys!

Here is the problem...

I got an INTEGER Data File on my Micrologix 1500, which I need to export to some kind of "universal" type of file. Say for example .CSV or something like that.

This Data File contains about 200 values that I got from a Force Gauge into an Analog Input Module and finally stored into the N30 Data File. Obviously N30 is the number of Data File.

So does anyone knows if it's possible to export these 200 values into a laptop by using RSLogix500 only?

What other alternatives do I have considering there is no much left on the budget??

Thanks a lot for any answers!

Do you need only the export, or you may need to rewrite the file back to the RSLogix project after some changes?

Just the export would do ok.

Expanding the size of the window and the number of columns you should be able to see all the numbers at once. Then to a screen capture. Save to an image.

No direct way, as far as I know.
But why do you need it in a spreadsheet?
You can printout to pdf one datafile only.

If you have higher than the free (Lite) version of RSLinx you may be able to use DDE or OPC as a link to Excel.

Have a look at the "Save All Data To Text File" function in this project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/abdf1/

It has all of the source code, so it's fairly easy to modify to get what you need. And it's all free

I'm not sure which will be the final use for this data.

But I think it has to do with some statistics thing, so I guess they'll be manipulating the data on Excel. I'm only guessing cause they told me to try to get something in CSV.

I'll try what Archie says and if doesn't work, I'll try with Bernie's idea.

I'll let you know how this worked out.

THANKS A LOT!
