Hi,

Is it possible to receive DDE items over an Ethernet connection? The help file suggests that only COM1 COM2 is supported.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to do the following with the DT800. Basically I need to log the time since an alarm has occurred. I need at least a resolution of 0.01 seconds.

I thought maybe I could assign the time since midnight in a CV when the alarm happens, and then when scheduled, report the current time minus the CV. Thanks for any help! Mark

How can we define an alarm value for a channel en update it without having to "unload" the DT800 first or deleting it's stored data. For example: A thermocouple channel with a high alarm value of 30 exists and I would like to change that value to 40... There must be a way to change alarm values without reprogramming the DT800 isn't it?

I mean how can I change that value without having to unl

Has anyone tested the DT800 with different sizes of CF cards? I have tried it with Generic 64MB CF cards from my camera and a PCMCIA adapter with no problems, this arrangement provides comonality with digital camera cards and they are much cheaper than dedicated PCMCIA FLASH CARDS.

I have heard that the DT800 has problems with some types of larger cards. Has anyone used CF Cards and adapters

The delay option on the DSO command does not work according to the manual: using 1DSO(5000)=1 1TK 1DSO=0 produces the same result as 1DSO=1 1TK 1DSO=0, that is, only a short pulse on the output.

If I use 1DSO(5000,R)=1 I get the 5 sec delay. The output also seem to be inverted; DSO=0 activates the output (drain), according to the manual it should be DSO=1.

It takes several seconds (> 5 sec) for the DT800 to start to respond to a U<schedule>(start,end) command. During this time no new logs are stored! This is a very big problem for us, since we can't afford loosing any data.

The answer from a simple U command is faster, but we can't use that for several reasons (amount of data returned, we must sometime retrieve data from old jobs). Is

Hi I need to connect strain gages to DT 800. Using the configuration presented at fig. 125 of the user manual (4 wire BGV input in one channel) it was impossible to balance the bridge. The command RA1S 1BGV(4W) did not result on a stable 5V excitation. In fact, voltage did oscillate between 0 and 3,33 V.

Anything ideas? Thanks in advance, VM John

Hello!

I need your assistance for a problem that i have.
My DT500 that does not run the schedules. To demonstrate I made a simple program For example:
; BEGIN
; D
; RA5S
; T
; 1CV
; END
RESET

DT500 Respond:

DataTaker 0 Version 7:14
Initializing ... Done.

Date 18/06/2015

This should show in Detransfer every 5 seconds the current hour and the 1CV. But

Hi,

I have a question regarding how to unload logged data to a csv file by entering a text command.

I entered the command U to unload data. However, I'm not sure where the unloaded data is saved. Is there any way I can define the file destination along with the command U in the text command view? I'm using Delogger 4 v4.

I have run the test for the dataTaker DT 600 as the thermocouple connected was showing a value of -0.6 in the Form view with the internal temperature showing a steady -1.1.
I thought this would be in degrees.

Does this mean the Datataker needs to be calibrated?
Or is it OK and I am doing something I shouldn't?

The test results are -

Hi

I'm using a DT50 to measure the stage height in a flume and calculate the flow rate in order to mtrigger water samples based on discharge.

I'm using a second order polynomial x = 0.36375y + 0.000965y^2.

I've entered the coeficients as follows:

Y11=0,0.36375,0.000965"L/Sec"

The level data is stored in 7CV and the flowrate calculated using:

7CV("Flow (l/sec)",Y11,=11CV)

Can a SHT11 Temp Hum sensor be connected to a DT600.
If so how , is there a program routine available .

Hi,

We have an old 515 and we noticed that the "wake up" and poll command on our master program is using the same command that it uses on all the others (which are DT80G)

My question is does the 515 require a different command? and if so what would it be?

For 8 years we have installed a DT50 Firmware 7.04. It works fine until now.
Problem: The logger set the date from 09/10/2012 06:00:00 to 18/10/2034 12:00:00 (next scan - interval 6h) by itself.
The logger have an external 6V backup battery.
Can it be the internal battery is empty?

Thanks for comments
Volker

Hi

I bought a DT80 series 11 with Delogger 4pro+5.

I can not get the email to work, is there a user manual for Delogger 5



i downloaded the DT8x user manual but its mosly describes the DEX which my unit does not support?

can you provide some help for setting up the email alarms.

Best regards

Hello,

I am trying to address a client request to "lock out" operators from making changes to a DeLogger project file.

The client wishes to restrict users to connecting to the host DT800 and viewing the mimic data.

Is there any feature within DeLogger 5 Pro which allows this?

Based on Google's cache of the previous forum (thank you, Google!) I have stumbled upon using Actions.

Hi,

I have installed from disc marked Delogger 4 pro. But when loaded it seams to be only Delogger 4 not, Delogger 4 pro!
I have re-installed it twice now and still it tells me its Delogger 4 running. I also do not have to functions of Delogger 4 pro, help!

Is there something else hidden on the disc I need to install or, is it in the install setting some where?
Do I need to update

Hi,
I have been using DE Logger for 8 months with a DT80 and DT800 with not problems.
Suddenly I am no longer able to connect to the loggers via serial connection with DELogger5.
I am still able to connect via TCP from DElogger, and interestingly I am still able to connect via serial through DETransfer so its not a serial port issue.

There seems to be very little configuration for se

Hi,

I have a chart with 6 Channels showing - (DT800, connected via 100m Ethernet). They are all reading great however the longer it runs the further behind the chart seems to get.

I want to see the chart in real time as we have the monitor on our test bench and we need to see the reactions to changes we make to our test bed in real time.

The only way to get the chart view up to real t
