Import Raw From Excel

Post by TurboMunky » Thu Aug 01, 2013 11:05 pm

Hi,

I have raw data in excel- time in one column, signal amplitude (pressure) in another. The signal is from a pressure transducer, which is essentially an industrial microphone. When I plot the two side by side I get a perfect waveform of the sound made by the equipment I'm "listening" to, which I would like to be able to play back in audacity through a speaker. I know I need to manipulate the file (in excel, Matlab, or some other way) to get it into a format audacity will be able to recognize as a waveform but I am unfamiliar with how audacity reads raw data. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Does this topic help http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 16&t=62122 ? There is a Nyquist plug-in and a text to binary file converter application there.
