I have just purchased my self a K8055 Board and hoping to get it to do what im after, trouble is i only have a little exp. with VB programing, and none in interfacing across to Excel ,
First has any one had a go at interfacing a load cell on the K8055 Board ? if so how was it done secsesfully?
i need to collect 3 fields of data, 2 pulses that relate to rpm, and one from a tension load cell, one of the rpm signals can be triggered in what ever way i require ( AC pulse coil, solid state Photo sensor, or reed switch the number of pulses can also be changed) how ever the other is in the form of 12v+ constant with a -12v dc pulse per revolution, i need for this data to be displayed on a excell worksheet with a new row being logged every .1 sec.
Some thing like:
Time: RPM1: RPM2: LoadV:
.1 1000 1400 .3
.2 1006 1480 .35
( this is just a mock of the sort of final effect im aiming for )
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks ALOT, Brendon
