Problem with counters

Hi,

I am using DT800 with DeLogger Ver 4.0.3.2 and Firmware Ver 800 4.10.0001. I.E. the latest updates. I am trying to count pulses every 2 seconds by reading state of a counter and recording it in 1CV for further processing.

I need the counter to reset after every read. The problem is that once I program the counter to reset, I get no readings from it. My pulse cct should be OK for I can obtain readings when the counter is not resetting. I.E> 7C (works), but 7C(R)=0 doesn't.

Pulse Cct is from DT800 12V, through 22K resistor and a phototransistor (as a switch) to Digital Ground. Signal to counter taken from their junction (approx 7 v - 0v). I used both 6C and 7C in my tests, with the same results. Since, in the past, I used successfully similar setup with older versions of DeLogger and Firmware, wonder if there is some change in the design or a fault in the program.

It doesn't show in manual. But there were some changes in this area since Ver 4.3.1. Or (hard to believe!) I am doing something wrong!!!!!

Help!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!
Chris

Good morning Chris,

Please download the new version of DeLogger4 (V3 R3) it has a bug fix for this problem.

You have made an old man happy!
Yes, this was the problem! All is well, now!
Mind you I suspected there was a problem with DeLogger, for I could write the program in TEXT and then it worked OK.

Thanks!
Chris
