Create an Excel Macro to Add Seconds to DI-160 Event Data Logger Files

Categories: Data Acquisition and Excel, Data Format, Event Data Loggers Leave a comment

Microsoft Excel automatically assigns a date/time format to files generated by the DI-160 Event, State and Count data logger that does not include seconds (mm/dd/yyyy, hh:mm). As a result, events that occur more often than once a second appear in the data file with the same date/time stamp. While seconds are recorded, they simply aren’t displayed. Rather than reformatting individual data files one step at a time, here’s how to record a macro in Microsoft Excel that will streamline the process.

WDQ2TDM File Conversion Utility

Convert WinDaq files to TDM

DATAQ Instruments is now providing a FREE utility to convert their native WinDaq data files (.wdq format) into .tdm (test data exchange) format. Well, not exactly, they’re actually creating an xml header file (saved with the .tdm file extension) to allow any .tdm-supported program to read WinDaq data. The only restriction is that the tdm header file must reside in the same directory as your WinDaq data file.

This utility is easy to use, allows you to convert multiple files at once, and best of all – free.
