Use the RMCLink Excel Example
Delta’s RMCLink .NET Assembly and ActiveX Control package includes a Microsoft Excel VBA example that automatically uploads each new plot from an RMC75E. The example monitors one plot configuration and saves every uploaded plot in a format that RMCTools Plot Manager can open.
| Requirement | Evidence-supported method |
|---|---|
| Controller | RMC75E |
| Automated interface | RMCLink .NET Assembly or ActiveX Control |
| Provided implementation | Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with VBA |
| Plot scope | One plot configuration |
| Saved format | Readable by RMCTools Plot Manager |
Configure the Automatic Upload Workflow
- Install the RMCLink package on the Windows computer that will collect the plots.
- Open the RMCLink examples installed under its Windows Start menu entry.
- Locate the Microsoft Excel example in the VBA folder.
- Configure the example for the RMC75E and the required plot configuration.
- Run the spreadsheet and confirm that it uploads each newly generated plot and saves the result.
The available evidence does not identify the exact RMCLink connection settings or establish whether this example uses Ethernet or USB. Confirm the supported transport and connection configuration in the installed RMCLink documentation before deployment.
Verify Production Capacity
For a workload of potentially thousands of plots per day, verify the complete collection path under the intended plot rate. Confirm that no plot is missed, each saved file opens in RMCTools Plot Manager, and the computer has sufficient storage for the expected daily file count. The evidence provides no upload-rate, file-size, retention, or simultaneous-configuration limits, so measure those values with the actual plot configuration.
If the Excel example does not meet the required throughput or integration needs, the evidence also supports building a dedicated interface with RMCLink through .NET, ActiveX, or LabVIEW. It does not provide an existing direct bridge between Plot Manager and a separate data logger.
FAQ
Can an RMC75E automatically export every new plot?
Yes. The RMCLink package includes an Excel VBA example that automatically uploads each new plot from one plot configuration and saves it.
Can RMCTools Plot Manager open the automatically saved plots?
Yes. The Excel example saves each plot in a format that RMCTools Plot Manager can open.
Does RMC75E automatic plot export use Ethernet or USB?
The available evidence does not specify which transport the Excel VBA example uses. Verify the supported connection and its configuration in the installed RMCLink documentation.
