Hi dataTaker Users,
As promised, this is the new version of dEX 2.0. It is a few days late due to some unforeseen circumstances.
You can check the user manual, the release notes, and known issues within the software. After you install the software click the Application menu to access those documents.
Please find the installer download link

Hi dataTaker Users,
We will release a new dEX 2.0 version next week. This version has many fixes (check the software release notes and known issues), two new language sets (French and Chinese), and an integrated dEX user manual.
In this topic, I would like to share three technical notes related to dEX 2.0:

Hello,
i use a DT85 to log meteorological data to an usb Stick.
At some point after around 2 months the DBD file seems to get corrupted somehow. dump_dbd and the logger itself cant convert it to csv.
I dont know the reason although i am suspecting an issue with the usb stick which i now changed.
But i still have the dbd file which maybe still contains some data.
From dump_dbd

I have remote access to a DT85 with S/N 106343 and firmware version 9.18. Due to flash expiry I can no longer access the web interface via a local raspberry pi, however I can access via FTP. My questions are:
What is the series of DT85 corresponding to this serial number?
How can I upgrade the firmware over FTP?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I want to use strain gauges on the DT85 and CEM20 device. The strain gauges we will use have a quarter bridge. Does the DT85 device and the CEM20 device have a wheatstone bridge? Or will we use resistors ourselves to make the rest of the devices a full bridge?

Hello,
I am using a DT85 Series 4 with DEX-2.
I have some schedules logging every minute on the 0th second of the minute, which is done by default when using the 1M timing in the DXC code, e.g.:
RC"Schedule_CJB-RTDs" ("B:", DATA:OV:10MB, ALARMS:OV:100KB:W60) 1M
However, I wish to have other schedules logging every minute but on the 30th second, so that the records would look like
We are using DT605 and DT600 via RS232 com on very old computers and the original software.
Can you guide me how to upgrade the software and what will be the proper tool to convert the RS232 to USB?
It seems the dEX-2 software can't compile dxc files containing the running average function. Is this a bug?
I've tried adding the RAV option to a thermocouple channel and I can't upload the program to my DT80 anymore, as it kept telling me compilation failure.

Hi
I have a DT80 series 4. I using a current bridge to read strain gauges that are connected to a bridge completion module. Is there any way for me to zero them out before taking data?
Configuring my DT85.
Have applied the first cut of all the Thermocouples that we will be logging. Applied it to the DT85 and away it goes.
Now I'm looking at using a calculation from a Thermocouple to engage a relay and turn on a cooling fan.
But I can't find any command line codes that will allow me to stop the DT85 collecting data and consuming battery power.
Is the a manual that
Just setting up a DT85 to read a Type K thermocouple.
The DT85 has been updated to v9.22 and I can see the relevant data via Dex-2 software.
However when I try to set up a guage in Dex-2 for the thermocouple, I'm unable to select the channel in the software.
What am I missing??
thanks

Hi
when I tried to add a new channel in my schedule, and then apply to logger, it didn’t get uploaded into my datalogger. Please advice as I cannot update the configuration.

Hello, I am trying to log the voltage current and power data from the m850 power meter via rs485 with a dt80 logger. I found some code examples and put the following code together. I have linked the manual with the modbus register list. Can any one say if this should work? Any Help most welcome

When running a job on our Data Taker the device gives the error "SW Exception". We are using the latest version of the firmware 9.22.9125
The event log contains the following message:

I have DT 80. I want to connect load cell having 4 wire and 6 wire.
The colour for 4 wire load cell = red, white, black, green
The colour for 6 wire load cell = red, purple, green, yellow, black, brown.
How to connect load cell with DT 80 series 4 datataker.
I have been using Delogger4 for the Dt615 and delogger5 for the DT80 series for a good 3-5 years now with no problems.
Running Windows 10. All was fine up to a week ago.
The program loads, a Warning that the site database cannot be opened. Then closes program after you press ok.
Delogger5 works as per normal.
How can I fix this issue.
I uninstalled both Delogger5 and DeLogger4
I am trying to calculate the measurement uncertainty of the system. I can't find any info in the manual. Does DT80 series 4 has any specified accuracy for thermocouple measurement or the internal cold junction compensation?

Hi,
I have a DT80 with 9.20 firmware that have lost it configuration at the 21/08/2023. The configuration waw installed since the 31/05/23 and running correctly until now.
Note : The DT80 was continuously running since the 25/07/2023 (4weeks), without electrical shutdown.
Here is the extract from the service.log

Hello,
I am trying to install the Linux version of DEX2.0 on a centOS distribution.
However i am unable to complete the installation because of missing library and other ressources. I think the methods i am using are incomplete.
Could you provide the steps and terminal commands to use for the installation and the execution of DEX2?
Thanks.
How fast can you read thermocouple data? The manual says it is a sum of: Measurement time, processing time, communications time and logger preparation time.
But it does not provided values for all of these.
So how fast can you log analogue data without accuracy issues or channel ghosting? Is there a formula?

Dear all
We have a DT800 since many years and we use it a few times for temperature measurings
Now, i have a new chalenge to build a weather station with some sensores the we have in the lab
The sensors are:
SP Lite2 Pyranometer; sensitivity 68 uV/W.m-2
Thies anemometer 0.5-40m/s, a T351-TR Thermistor, a very old pluviometer that I will calibrate it.
And some k thermocouples
Hi
Can you recommend suitable main battery replacements for:
A) DT80
B) DT85
I know the DT80 is 1.2aH and the DT85 is 4aH but not sure of the physical sizes (The loggers are offshore so unable to look!)
Many thanks

Hello, I was trying to add a new channel to the current job on my DT80, and when I hit download, it wiped the job completely off the device. Is there a way to recover the job? Or do I have to start all over again?

Hi
We have a DT51 we dusted off. The problem I have is that when you startup the logger there are some default scans, spans and switch settings, if I delete the scans and write new scan, when I restart the logger or cycle the power, the logger defaults back to the "built-in" scan and switches.
Is there a setting or switch where i can stop this from happening?
Thanks,
Paul
When running a test on one of our DT80s, it sometimes fails on Vos 3W II. What does that mean and is it repairable?
Is there a list available of the test line items and what they represent?
VEXT 13.4 V
VBAT (6V) 6.50 V PASS
IBAT +4 mA PASS
VSYS 7.05 V PASS

Hi fellow users,
How can I execute an exponential function in a calculation dEX-2 / DT85?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ferdi.
I have a DT80 connected to a CEM20 (id#2). The CEM20 has one 4 wire RTD and six 3-wire RTDs connected to it, reading in at about 1Hz.
They are Pt385 RTDs with 100 ohm resistance at 0C. I'm using the II parameter to excite at 2.5mA and, for the moment I am just trying to read ambient temperatures.
The 3 wire RTDs all read between 16 and 17C while the 4 wire reads 22C, when they should al
