Character dimension in LCD

Dear Sir,

Please let me know the dimensions of uppercase and lower case characters displayed in LCD display of DT80.

Please also let me know how long it will run on internal battery only (no external power) if we connect 15 sensors logging at 1 minute interval and whether 64MB memory is sufficient for that or not?

U R G E N T

I had a look at the display on my unit, it looks like the LCD characters are about 5 mm high per line.

Have at look at this FAQ link for battery life, it's a nominal 1 day at 1 minute sampling, but you need to look at the other issues like type of sensors as well:
http://www.thermofisher.com.au/show.aspx?page=/ContentAUS/Manufacturing-Processing/Industrial-Loggers/DataTaker/DataTaker-FAQ/DT80-FAQ/DT80-Power.html. As an example a RTD sensor will use a small amount of current when being measured, but a thermocouple will not, so you need to think about these things.

This one should help for the memory question: http://www.thermofisher.com.au/show.aspx?page=/ContentAUS/Manufacturing-Processing/Industrial-Loggers/DataTaker/DataTaker-FAQ/DT80-FAQ/DT80-Data-Storage.htmlrl]

I don't think you will have any memory problems as 64MB is a lot to use, remember to allocate the amount you need to the schedule, only 1MB if you don't.
