In Delogger5 program window, I changed the trigger rate to 2s (DT80 now has 10s), and click "send to connection".

I only loaded a program on schedule A job1, but DT80 still logs at 10s. I tried restarting DT80 using singlepush, and also restarting Delogger5, for about 6 times. It is no use.

Here is my program which shows on DT80 web interface, though it shows 2s, but on DT80 green "

Hi!

SSDIRECT connection to the serial sensor port is a great thing. One can use it to communicate with the sensor direct and indirect over the DT80. This is a function of great use!

However, I figured out some problems with devices at the serial port. It seems that DT80 transmit the data in SSDIRCT mode line wise with a termination character (can be set in the command).

That works

Hello,

I have a number of DT80's i am setting up to be deployed on class 8 trucks. I am trying to set parameter P28=3 for the modem (Enfora) to get power from the logger and stay on when it sleeps.

But P28 does not exist on my DT80:

P28 dataTaker 80 E8 - Parameter read/set error at column 4 [ P28<err> ]
DT80> PROFILE "PARAMETERS" [PARAMETERS]
P0 = 3
P3 = 1500
P4 = 800

Is there a way for the DT80 to set up a schedule to log the state of the latching relay and have it displayed on the LCD screen? I am setting up the unit such that the latching relay will be toggled by writing to the MODBUS register for it.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up a schedule to log the state of the relay in the unit itself. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Could you tell me what resolution in degree I will have using the datalogger DT80 with a thermocouple (type T)?

Thank you,
Francois

Hi Guys,

My network knowledge is quite noobbie, don't mind a bit of hand holding on the manly side of course. I want to FTP DT80 data to a FTP. I hooked up an Ethernet connection with DT80 and a single computer (manual page 141), set IP to 192.1681.52 etc, obtained interaction with DT80 embedded web page.

Great. I set up a free FTP in http://www.drivehq.com/ with username:datataker and

I have a need to install numerous DT80s into a network and the network administrator is reluctant to give out a bunch of static IP addresses for me to use (the admin would give me one or two static IP addresses to use, but I would need many more).

Is there a way to configure DeLogger Pro, DT80s, and routers so that I can deal with a network that hands out dynamic IP addresses? Each DT80 woul

Hi All,

I am having a problem setting up a DT80 as a Modbus slave on the RS232 port, and I think it may be because the profile settings are not being used properly, if at all.

Every time I try to load a job, the PROFILE commands seem to be ignored and I get the following error message: Invalid PROFILE section/key name at column 53 [ _OLD_DATA'<err> ] I have done DELALLJOBS and FAC

Hi all,

I am using a string-potentiometer with a 2 wire 4-20mA output with a DT85. I have wired it up in the "C3-Independent current using internal shunt and external excitation" way and the channel definition is 9#L(E).

For the external power I have actually put a jumper 12V output and GND terminals to the EXT* and EXT# terminals on the DT85 and set 1SSPWR=1. This seems to work fine.

I understand SMSX can only send data by SMS. And if an Ethernet connection modem is used, it is very easy to configure DT80 to FTP small data files on a regular basis. Please recommend a suitable Ethernet connection modem that is often used with DT80 to FTP data with GPRS.

Can DT80+modem be configured to send data by emails automatically every 10 minutes by GPRS ?
If (1) is possible, is the software configuration done mainly in DT80 or the modem? Is the configuration very difficult?
I understand SMSX can only send data by SMS. Please recommend a suitable modem to send emails.
If (1) has been done before: I have used another type of datalogger+modem pre-configure

Hi Roger,

Could you please have a look at the oninsert.dxc file I attempted to use with a recently purchased DT85. I loaded the program into the text window using DeLogger and then saved it as the oninsert.dxc file.

After inserting the flask disk, everything appeared to work ok, but the job didn't load and still displayed "No current Job". Strange thing is, the two new functions were in

I am just getting acquainted with the DT81. I am reading a character string from a Gill Instrument Windsonic.

I had a TCP/IP socket program that queried the Windsonic directly but was instructed to insinuate the datataker for network data reduction purposes. I had been using vector statistics on the reading but will be looking at using your Radial statistical algorithm instead.

Now to t

Hi folks,

I can't seem to get a time specifier to work on my alarm conditions. I am writing a program for a DT80 using DeTransfer. I have tried every combination of syntax I can think of.

Page 70 in the DT80 user manual has a description of how to use a time specifier to make an alarm only go true after a certain period of time. Example line from my code is:

ALARM142(514CV><6

Hi,

I am using a DT80 to log one analog 4-20 mA and two digital channels. I set the sampling frequency to 20 samples per second but I only get between two and four samples per second, randomly. Don't get why?

Does anyone have any tips on how to get faster sampling? If I read the data sheet the DT80 should handle up to 25 Hz sampling.

Hi,

I have a customer here who wishes to control the temperature of a water bath remotely ie. two thermocouples measuring the process temperature are connected to a dataTaker (suitable model) which is logging the temperatures.

A water bath with heating/cooling functions and a thermocouple is located remotely for example 200 or 300 miles away. The water bath temperature must be controlle

Hi folks,

I have an application monitoring just about everything on a lake and now the client is asking for daily pictures of surrounding fauna, in particular the reeds and other normal aquatic growth.

Only one still shot per day would be required and download remotely is not needed so file size not really an issue, although I believe VGA resolution would be good enough. I'm wondering i

Hi Guys,

We were looking for a device to act similar to an accelerometer. We hooked a couple of wires to a suspended pipe and then configured an input into DT80 for frequency.

After banging the pipe, DT80 registered a distinct frequency which was pretty close to what we were hearing (about 350 - 400 Hz). How does the DT80 register this? What accuracy is possible with the frequency input

I've got an issue with the low-power mode on the DT80. It's probably due to my misunderstanding of how it works, so I'd appreciate some help!

I have a very simple setup with a DT80 connected to a sensor on a digital input and increment a counter each time the sensor is activated. DT80 is externally-powered (through the screw-terminal connector as recommended in the manual) and also has the b

Hi,

I have a DT80 in a remote location and due to an extended power failure, it stopped logging. I have tried to reprogram it using a USB stick but no luck so far - it comes up with "Cannot Log No Space".

So by the looks the memory is already allocated from the previous program and in the new program (which is basically the same) the bit that sets the Data Store Size is causing the prob
