dear all
who have the experience about controlling the relay by DT80(DSO)?
i have a DTU in my system,but it consume more power.
so i want to control it when the power voltmeter under 12V.

thank you.

Hello! I am a newbie to both using the DT80 and Labview. I am currently taking data from a DT80 using Labview, and from my understanding the DT80 is interpreted as a TCP. My question is: is there a way to turn off the relay from Labview via some switch? Even after the data run is stopped, it continues to scan as evidenced by a really annoying clicking sound that turns on when I start the code for

Hello,

I am trying to interface with a vacuum pressure gauge in my lab that uses RS485 2 wire, half duplex to communicate via the DT80. If I am reading the manual correctly, this command should work: '#01RD<Carriage Return>', where the 01 is the RS485 address of the gauge and RD is the command to readout the pressure. So I came up with the following command and plopped it into a manual

Hello!

Edit: First problem solved.

I have a simple question about the DT-80. Will multiple schedules communicating with the same SDI-12 digital channel at different rates interfere with each other, or will DT-80 handle the traffic for me?

I am trying to program our sites (40 or so) with a standard program, just the bare minimum of changes between the sites, IPs etc.

I have an alarm section in there to email us depending on power state.

Is it possible to have the site name from either the profile or a string withing the program embedded into the subject of the email? I can get it into the body, but when the email comes in,

Hi,

I am currently trying to use an ultrasonic flow meter to determine flow through a pipe, during this time I would like to record the data using the dataTaker DT80. Currently I have connected the flow meter to the DT80 with a RS232 cable using the host port. I have chosen this port as a manual channel and succeeded in the channel setup. The problem arises when I try to read the data. I hav

Hi,

we have 2 RS485 modules with different com-parameters.
In Detransfer (enter commandlines direct to DT80) the switching with ps= ... works fine.

Hello,

I making a voltage read between 5* and 5#, defining the channel as HV. However, the dt80 read is not the same as measured with a manual multimeter.
I should had something around 12.59V and dt is showing 11,6V.

I'm not used to deal with HV channels, so what I'm missing here?

I've tried to check if some attenuation option is enabled but i'm not getting how to overcome this...

I tried to upgrade the firmware of a DT80-3 from 9.08 to 9.18 using a USB flash device but it wasn't upgraded and did show an error (DT8x Bootstrap, file error). I I've used the files for new firmware before and it did work. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Hi there,

I'm using two loggers, one DT80M Series 3 and one Series 4.

I know that I can switch the isolated 5V power output on using the command:

PWR5V=1

However, this setting is not persistent and vanishes after a logger looses power (and the backup battery is down). Is there a way to switch 5V power on using one of the profile parameter settings, making it thus persistent?

Hi,

I've been communicating with my DT80 using a little python code, configuring a serial port and sending string commands to the datataker. I've been successful using the USB cord that came with the machine, however when I use an RS-232 to usb cord, the DT80 doesn't seem to receive (or send) any information.

How can I set up the DT80 for serial communication with an RS-232?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have DT80 series3 software version 9.10.
I will start a schedule when 4 or 5 CV's changes from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0
Hoe can I configure this when I programming in dEX.
I can only configure 1CV (Advanced triggering)
In program language it must be RB1..9+CV ?

Thanks for help

I came to know that port 25 is blocked by my ISP. I am not able to send any email out from datataker. Is there any way for us to change the smtp port number in Datataker? If no, what is the way around it?

An ungrounded differential signal source can float outside the common mode range of the logger inputs. Possible ways to prevent this are:

grounding one of the signal lines at the logger
grounding one of the signal lines at the logger through a moderate value resistor, eg. 10k (http://www.ni.com/tutorial/7113/en/)
grounding both of the signal lines through high value resistors, eg. 100k,
