Hi!

I'm periklis a new member to your forum. Firstly I have a problem with the communication between DT80 and my modem.The idea is to try take examples from the sensor which is connected to DT80 through a modem.

This is a sketchy diagram about what i want to do (sensor{connected to sensor serial port > dt80 >modem(mc35i){connected to host port} and communicate with mc35i modem).

Hi,

I was trying to connect a cup anemometer NRG#200 to the DT80. But could not succeed. It has 3 outlets: power, signal and ground.

I used the DT80 as a power supply to the NRG#200, I used the green outlet on the side of the datataker (it was around 20V) (the NRG#200 operates from 5V to 24V).

I connected the +ve terminal from the green outlet to the supply of the cup, -ve terminal

Hi all,

I am new at using DT80 and I have a question already. In one of our projects we are using a GPS/GSM modem connected to the RS232 port. What I would to do is get the GPS location and combine it with the information I am getting from the other ports and then send the whole thing via the GSM.

There is an AT command that I can send to the modem in order to get the GPS location of th

In profile parameters, I have set to F on P36, and ran a reset. I am using a IR sensor with a LCD display. IR value set to F, so I can check it against DT80 LCD display. S

ync of temp starts out ok, and then drifts where, DT80 is almost 15 higher than the IR sensor. Using K thermocouple. and set that on the IR sensor. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Best regard

Dear Sirs!

I'd like to measure discharge curves of 48V telecom batteries. Each of batteries have two parallel strings and each of strings have eight 6V or four 12V accu blocks.

I will measure also temperatures of the batteries with LM 35 sensors and currents of each branches with external shunt resistors. I'd like to use independent (unshared) inputs of DT 85 Series 2.

DT80 Series 2 Firmware 7.04 Serial# 086128. Simple program measuring 1 thermocouple 2 wire. Successfully connect to dt80, and download job, but job doesn't show up in display window of DT80. Battery NC 0 mA 6.5V Thermocouple is wired.

I finally got it to work, log, record, etc. Then I built a new program and re-downloaded and the DT80 is saying no current job again. I notice that from 1 prog

RA2S
1HV(=1CV,W)
1HV(=2CV,W)
2SERIAL("{ %f[1cv] %f[2cv] I love Agatha }",w)
END
I notice when DT80 is sampling, when the blue light is on, there is a large click click relay like sound. Seems to consume a lot of power. Can this sound be turned off?

Advance thanks.

Guys I want to input 5 analog signals into DT80, combine the 5 analog values into one string in DT80, maybe add some NMEA symbols like "$" and "WMD" into the string, and then output the string through RS232 host port or sensor port.

So DT80 acts something like a analog to RS232 converter. Is this possible?

Advance thanks.

I am searching for a channel variable that can perform a delta on the 1st record in a log, and the most recent logged record in a log.

Is that possible? There is a channel variable for 2 successive log measurements values in. This is called (DF) Difference (current reading - previous reading.) This is category of Data Manipulation under channel variable types. I would like to do a Delta calc

I am looking for the programming method to count and average readings during a data collection period. Example: Data Log Survey Duration 1 Hr. Cumulative average of temp readings for each channel averaged every 20 seconds.

Then plotted on a graph. If temp readings are both hi and low, then the cumulative avg. line for the graph would be centered horizontally in the graph.

Hi All,

My current project involves a DT85 on a ship, connected to the internet via a 3G router with a PC on the same LAN.

The PC is running a LabvView front-end to present live data from DT85. DT85 archives data to a remote FTP server every few hours, but I am wondering if there is a way that I can update the DT85's program remotely.

I can't connect to it directly as it doesn't ha

I have a series 1 DT80 Rev.7.04 firmware Ser.No. 084444 which defies all my attempts to get it to communicate via the Ethernet port.

I have carried out a "triple push" reset and have also upgraded the firmware, but despite trying to communicate with the logger via a "switch" or "peer-peer" connections,changing cables, etc., the error message "connection forcibly rejected" is returned.

PROBLEM 1:
I set DT80 series 2 host port to RS232. I hooked up a serial input 9600,8,n,1 to DT80 DB9 host port, with three pins connected Rx,Tx and ground.

The signal is verified with hyperterminal. The serial input format in ASCII text, 10 hz(10 output/s) = "120". Just a 3 digit integer. I delete all jobs in DT80. I configured and load a new program in Delogger5.

The program show o
