Hello DataTaker Support Team, i have a simple question. I like to replace my old DT80 series2/3 with the new DT80M serie 4. The problem is, when i replaced a series2 with a series3 DT i just had to copy and paste the config. Sadly, this method isn´t working for the current version. I already searched the forum because i heard, that there exists already a work around for this problem, but sadly i found nothing. So could anybody plz give me the link to an existing thread or explain to me what i have to do? Thanks in advance and best regards, Markus

Hi Markus, I assume you were referring to the old dEX program on flash player. Did you still use dEX 1.0 to program your logger? I recommend you to start the migration to dEX 2.0, please contact us if you need assistance on using dEX 2.0. About the old dEX program, it is based on the dataTaker model. Naturally, you cannot use the same program on different series as per your statement. However, there is a trick, although you need to be very careful on implementing this trick. You can download the program as dex file and open it using a notepad. Find and change the first or second line with the model and series information the target. I recommend you to make a comparison to the target model and series by creating a simple program. After changing the information you can re-save the file and open it again using dEX 1.0 on connection with the target logger. Best regards, dataTaker Expert

Hello dT Expert, thanks for your reply. I think i asked my question kinda misleading. We already use dEX2 to implement the old config into the new dataTaker series 4. With config i mean the jobs from the old series2 and series3. It´s not possible to just copy and paste the old jobs to the new loggers and i heard that you need to make small changes in the jobs file so the new logger can work with it. For example that´s an old job file which i like to use with the actual dataTaker.

Hi Markus, There is a complete explanation of building the program syntax from scratch or modifying the existing old program (ex dEX or ex text) in this forum, please check this link: https://datatakerforum.com/index.php?u=/topic/1018/new-release-of-dex-2-0-v2-1-25. You can modify your code easily but some of them might be better to pack inside a manual channel for efficiency reasons. Best regards, dataTaker Expert

Hello dT Expert, thnks for ur reply. I guess it´s more complex then i thought but i will try it. Thnks and best regards, Markus
