6.4 Spreadsheet Logs
Spreadsheet logs are used to obtain data from, change, and put data into the Micro-PWC Global database.
The data is loaded into spreadsheets, allowing the user to format, store, and perform calculations on live
process data. The spreadsheet logs are accessed by clicking on the radio button labelled Spreadsheet
Logs, located on the Log Configuration window (
Figure 6-1 ). The list box in the Log Configuration window
will list all spreadsheet logs which have been configured on the network.
Before a spreadsheet can access data from the Micro-PWC Global database, the Microsoft Excel program
must be on the Micro-PWC and the Micro-PWC Add-in for Excel must be installed. For details on require-
ments for use of Excel with the Micro-PWC software, see the Micro-PWC Installation and Setup Guide.
6.4.1 Adding Spreadsheet Logs
To create a spreadsheet log, click Add at the bottom of the Log Configuration window. A blank Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet is opened. For information on the operation of Excel, refer to the documentation pro-
vided with the Excel software. After a spreadsheet has been created and saved, it will appear in the Edit
list.
✎ Note
The 24 hour clock is used, and the month is identified by the first
