Author Getting 2000 INTs from Siemens S7 to Microsoft Excel

This is a followup to a question I just asked a few moments ago in
these same two groups

In order to get some statistical data out of my machine for analysis,
I've made a FIFO to grab my data, but am having trouble getting the
data out of the processor.

I can easily collect the data in the controller, then I can get it out
by creating a Variable Table. From there, I can copy and and paste
the data into Excel.

Unfortunately, I can only monitor (and copy) about 30-40 INTs at the
same time. This is easy for 100 DINTs (it's just some temp logic for
analysis; it's not production code). When I've got 1000 INTs this is
unwieldy.

Is there an easier way to get large hunks of data out of the S7
processors using the Step7 programming software (I didn't buy DDE
server software)?
How might I accomplish this using the tools above?
A reference to the user manual would be immensely helpful--I've spent
quite some time reading them, and haven't run across this situation.

Thanks!
