Renewable Energy
Monitor Excel ® Interface
Addendum
In addition to its already powerful real
time graphical plotting and data logging
software, the latest version of Horizon's
Renewable Energy Monitor comes with
the ability to transfer the logged data to an
Excel ® spreadsheet.
Here's how it works....
By using the software's Recording and
P l a y b a c k f e a t u r e s , e a c h t i m e a n e w
Record – Stop or Record –Play sequence
is performed, an Excel ® compatible CSV
(comma separated variable) file t is written
to the hard disk. The file name begins with
the letters REM and contains the date and
time the recording was begun.
Example:
REM_05_31_11_at_15_44_03
By simply importing this file into your Excel
® spreadsheet you can do further analysis
on the recorded data including plotting the
variables in any order or style that suits
your application.
The CSV files can be found on your hard
disk in the same folder as the captured
screen .jpg files. Just look under
C:/Desktop/ Documents/Horizon/file

Example
1. To start a Recording, click the red REC
button. It will change from dull to bright red
indicating that data is being recorded.
2. At the same time a new CSV text file is
opened and the incoming voltage, current,
power, resistance, RPM and Joule data are
saved in the file.
3. To end the recording, click the triangular
Play or square Stop button. The REC
button will turn dull red again and the Play
or Stop button will turn green. This will
also close the CSV text file where it can be
imported into Excel ®.
