Default R&D InstroMet Data Logger issue solved....

R&D InstroMet Data Logger issue solved....

Upto now I never resolved this issue, but after coming back from a break, downloading the data and once again scratching my head I think I have found the anomaly.

Basically it's simple.
1. What is seen on the 'Display' is in 'decimal'
2. Whereas the report off the software is in hours:mins, a simple conversion does the trick

Eg, my display reads 5.14, whereas the software reads 5:08.
When you think of it the '.' and ':' gives it away.
So by putting 5:08 in cell 'B3' with the formula below in cell 'B4' the :
=INT(B3)*24+HOUR(B3)+ROUND(MINUTE(B3)/60,2)
The result is 5.13. In a few cases it does come out + or - .01 so if you can think of a better formula / conversion method please share :-)

Regards

Keith (Southend)

Even the big boys with big toys have such problems.

the clock display never reads hours correctly, 8:00 reads 7:60 in their
structure, 9:00 reads 8:60 etc.
