Use Data Streamer to stream data from sensors, record the data, and visualize the data in different displays.
Visualize data in a variety of ways including a graph, bar chart, and digital meter.
Use PASCO Data Streamer to collect data with PASCO Wireless Sensors and stream the data into an Excel workbook.
To stream data from PASCO Wireless Sensors to Excel, you need to install PASCO Data Streamer and enable the Excel Data Streamer add‑in.
After connecting PASCO Data Streamer to Excel, Excel displays four customized spreadsheets by default. The two sheets used with PASCO sensors are the Data In and Settings sheets.
To stream data, connect a sensor to the PASCO Data Streamer app, then connect the app to Excel.
Visualize streaming data as a graph using a scatter chart in Excel.
Visualize streaming data using a 2-D Column Chart in Excel.
Visualize a single measurement by creating a dynamic text box in Excel.
The maximum and minimum axis values on a chart change automatically by default, which can sometimes make data difficult to view. You can fix this by setting static minimum and maximum axis values.
Manually record data points instead of continuously streaming data. This method is useful for displaying a sensor measurement versus a non-sensor measurement.
Record data to a .csv file to replay data at a later time.
If sensors are not measuring values as expected, you may need to calibrate the sensor.
