Hi,

We have recently purchased a DT82I for use with an industrial coater. The coater sends strings of real time parameters which are forwarded through a RS232 port to a dot matrix printer. I was hoping to use the datalogger to retain a digital copy on a usb and then send the print command to the dot matrix printer. Since both printer and coater communicate only over RS232 I was planning on co

Hi,

I'm running a program to read and record values from an PT-100 RTD and a MODBUS device. The problem is, the resistance value of the PT-100 isn't read properly by the dataTaker. If I run the PT-100 program alone, there is no issue about the reading. But once the MODBUS device is connected to the sensor port, and the program runs together, the resistance values of the PT-100 increases by m

Hi,

I'm using the DT82I for logging current and voltage values from a current monitoring device. I've used around 170 CV's to log and display the data, in addition to individual labels. The data has also been collected without any problem.

The problem is that the last 10-15Cv's seem to have no label/name. I'm running similar programs on 2 separate DT82I's, and both have the same problem.

Hi,

We've got a DT82I running 24/7 at a remote site. The program is meant to retain some CV's to be used as reference for the next day.

But, I've noticed that my DT82I sometimes doesn't seem to retain those values. Upon checking, we found that the DT82I displays the "DT80 restarted / Power loss" message every morning. But we have it running on an UPS, so I doubt power supply is an issue.

Hi,

I'm trying to do manual data downloads via a 2 GB USB stick. However, every time I insert the USB stick, the logger runs into SW Exception error.

I have the latest 9.20.8942 firmware with a DT82I Series 3. The error I'm getting is Reset 9.20.8942 EXCEPTION (c8610007).

Is there a way to fix this issue? I need to resolve this ASAP as I will be deploying these into the field shortly.

Hi, I am using datataker DT82I series 4. Previously, I was using deLogger but wanted to try out dEX.
I have connected the datataker to my computer via Ethernet cable and load dEX via on Mozilla Firefox (v61). When I create any schedule or add any calculations and try to type in the values, there is a lag. The characters appear on the screen 5-8 seconds later. It's so frustrating when I need to

Hi,
Does anyone have experience using JBUS with Datataker? I appreciate if you can share your experience. I read that JBUS is similar to MODBUS except for the adressing. I found it is NOT true. Any comments?

Recently we received 2 of the DataTaker loggers.
The one I am writing about is the DT82I.
My manager recently received a firmware update that allowed the ability to setup security for separate log in's.
He was try to configure the device and ran out of time so I took over.
During my interaction with this device I have had it lock up several times and quite honestly had to pull the bat

G'day Team,

Hope you can give me a quick pointer.
I have a serial scale sensor sending me back a weight in format "ST,GS 2.450kg"
So I am using the serial expression builder in an attempt to get the 2.45 out.

1SERIAL(RS232,"\eST,GS%f[5CV]kg")
Works like a charm getting me 2.5 (seems to round the decimal part up)

So I am trying a formatted float

Dear Roger,

When my DT85GM upgraded firmware 9.08,why the connection of modem test failed in SIM access?

The connection of modem was normal before upgraded.

And when I use USB port to connecting to the web interface,some function can't working.

Dear Roger,

1.One DT85GM to Measurement 14 Resistance , 8 Voltage , 1 Current , 4 Current Bridge.FTP data via ethernet.

3.Everything is normal.

When I add one CEM20 and move 4 original Current Bridge to CEM20.The DT85GM will Low Power forced sleep.
How can I solve it?

Hello,
We have a DT85M.

We have a job which sends every 24h a SMTP email.
As the carrier is T-mobile, we set in the code APN as following:
PROFILE MODEM APN="epc.tmobile.com"

We want to use the same job but using a SIM from another carrier, AT&T.
The phone subscription is data only (we cannot send text or call).
The only modification in the code should be the APN, to co

Hi everyone

It´s the first time I use a datataker and i have already a problem.
I need to change the serial sensor port speed during logging because i have to communicate with two different devices that have 2 different speed. I tried in a manual channel something like this:

ps=1200
1SERIAL("{\002}")
ps=2400
1SERIAL("{\002}")

I tried many variants with delay and wai

Dear Sir,

I have an unused logger left for about six months, when powering it back on, the firmware seems to have corrupted / lost.
I was trying reload the firmware by using the DeTransfer program / a USB drive without success.

The logger ignores my USB drive (FAT) and simply return to flashing of all of the 4 lights when i press the ok/edit button.

Dear Roger,

I am deploying a few DT85GM in Hong Kong, and I am experiencing "SIM Problem" with simcards from Smartone HK.

I first tested the DT85GM with my own personal simcard (PCCW HK) and it worked smoothly, but when Smartone HK gave me 5 brand new sims they all have "sim problem" when the modem was starting up.
I tested the 5 sims in my phone and they appeared to work without probl
