WinWedge can send data to Minitab either as Keystrokes or
by DDE. The keystrokes method is very simple as the data
will just appear in Minitab as if you had typed it in! In
certain situations the DDE method of sending data to Minitab
may offer more control (such as when collecting data from
multiple serial ports). The instructions below are for those
who wish to use the DDE method.
- Set up WinWedge in the usual manor for your instrument.
- Choose "DDE Server" from the "Mode Menu" in
WinWedge. Enter the following: Name = Minitab topic = name
of your file in Minitab. Item = c1, c2, etc (the columns
in Minitab where you want the serial data to appear).
- In Minitab Go to the "Manage Links" Menu. Enter
the following: Application = WinWedge Topic = Comport #
Item = Field/datetime next = column 1, 2, etc…(c1,
c2, etc…) next = append If you have further questions
about setting up DDE from within Minitab please call Minitab
at 814-238-3280
- Run WinWedge in "Test" Mode to check it has
been correctly configured.
