    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone has used the MEDPC2XL software and how helpful they have found it.
    Thanks

    Sorry for my late reply. I wouldn’t use MEDPC without MEDPC2XL. It works great.

    Ya, MPC2XL works great but when you try to transfer 2 different type of files, dont forget to colse the application(MPC2XL) in between them. Otherwise it will ba garbage.

    Really? That sounds like a serious bug. Did you file a report to MED-PC? I’m sure they want to know about that. I must say I’ve never had that happen, but then I usually did a single type in a run.

    Well, it’s a bit of a standard that hardware companies write interfacing software which fails to save scientists time. Then charge them for the software that does.

    I wrote a vba macro to import med-pc operant data into excel, and my friend wrote one in python – if anyone wants them, let us know (csmcpherson at gmail dot com).

    Hi, I’m intersted in your solution to import med-pc data into excel. I’m working in a similar solution using Java wich provides chart features. I’d thank if you could share your code.

    Thank you.

    The easiest way to use MPC2XL is with a Row Profile.
    * After the MED-PC experiment has finished and the data has been saved start MPC2XL.
    * Select the Edit Row Profiles tab and then click on the button that says Create.
    * Now browse to the saved data file and select it. MPC2XL will automatically create a profile based on the data that it found in the file.
    * Now edit the Column Labels to match the data. The program that was used to create the data should hopefully have a good description of the data that it is saving.
    * Once done save the Row Profile with a meaningful name.

    To transfer the data into Excel:
    * Go to the Transfer Data tab and click on the Select button in the Row Transfer section.
    * Check the Column Labels check box.
    * Open Excel. The transfer will only work if Excel is open to an active spreadsheet.
    * Now click on the Transfer button. MPC2XL will automatically transfer the data into Excel.

     

    A Table Profile is more powerful and flexible than a Row Profile, but it is also harder to create. I personally learned by looking at existing Table Profiles. I have attached an example to this post. Just rename the file extension from TXT to MTP.

     

    I hope that this information helps.
