PLX-DAQ in Excel

Hi,
I'm using PLX-DAQ to get data in Excel.
It works fine in most kind of measurements.
This week I had to connect with Excel a long time (a day or longer) to examine the energy of a battery.
Therefore I measure the voltage every minute.
But again and again Excel hangs after 10 minutes.
I've pull down the baudrate, but without succes.
Anyone experience with long measurements?
What can be the problem?

I'm just taking a wild guess here, but is it possible you have your Windows preferences (of some sort) set to put the computer in some kind of sleep mode if it does not see any mouse activity for ten minutes? Could you try putting the computer into a mode where it will not try to log off after a short while?
Just a thought.
Is it possible that a screen mode (low light) gives a distortion?
