Hi everyone,
We have moved the forum to a new platform with the basis of discourse. We release it at the beginning of this year. We plan to close this forum platform at the end of 2025.
At this moment, we cleaning up the number of unverified users as well as spams. The cleaning will also give us time to move some of the topic to the new platform.
We apologize if your account get delet
I am logging the 4 LiFepo4 cell voltages to see the migration of charge carriers through the cell after charging and the cell voltage drop as that equalization occurs. The voltages returned all show sudden changes in voltage at the same instant in time. Sometimes up, some times down. This abrupt change appears to be the same amount and would correspond to the 12th or 13 bit of the Analog to Digit

Hi all.
18 months ago I managed to set up a datataker DT85G so that it would measure voltages of up to 3 volts on 12 inputs at 1 minute intervals.
I have another logger to try to do the same thing to and cannot find my documentation.
It took me a week last time to trawl through the manual and work out what I had to do and it pains me to spend another week on this.

Dear DataTaker experts,
I am using DT85G Series 3, and before 2020, It was worked with dEX previous version without any issue. However, as it no longer work with flash player now I have to upgrade it to dEX 2.0 and firmware also upgraded to version 9.22
I have connected the logger using Ethernet cable and add the logger to dEX-2.
Now I cannot access the logger through the dEX-2 d
Hello,
I'm trying to program DT80 to calculate the pitch amplitude and period using periodical data from inclinometer, read by statistical schedule once per second RS1S. Then the data is written by schedule timer in 31CV every 10 seconds RA10S. For pitch amplitude calculation, to find the maximum and write it to channel variable, I use statistical function “Maximum” 31CV(MX,=32
Sir,
We already test this scenario with TCP/IP and it works well. But when we change to RS485 sersenport, we encountered problem when doing a test MODBUS connection with RS485 sersenport and RS485-to-USB Adapter to PC.
And the Mbpoll settings to initiate the MODBUS RTU call is
The settings on the DT script is
'Z=RS485-
'Y=RS485+

Hi
I've changed the passowrd for user interface from "admin" to something else but now I don't remeber it. Is there a way to reset it?
I have somehow locked myself out of my DT80M logger. In the Dex 2 software I set user level security to on by mistake. Now when I try to connect to the logger from DEX I get asked for a user name and password. I have guessed the default as datataker and datataker as defaults without success. How do I reset this I cannot see an obvious way.
Regards
Andrew
We are using DT80-2 to log the data, our plan is to download the log data daily for one year. Current, we are using dEX-2 V2.1.36 software tool, Data Explorer to download data manually.
Is it possible to write some Visual Studio or Python code to download data automatically?
Datataker has an attention light flashing at the front. When going through the TK, it says that they aren't set yet. When taking the first sample, it sound very slow, but then goes back to its normal speed. This runs for a while but then stops again. We then turn it off to reset it, remove all the cables, then start again, but it just does the same thing again.

I am using DT80 Series 3 data logger for temperature measurement via K-type thermocouple. Previously it was working well, but for past few months it is showing RefError or Over Range error on the screen. I have tried to resolve this issue but couldn't find any solution. Any kind of help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Hi,
Before this, i just connect the OTT RLS to the DT-80 just using the SDI-12 digital channel 5D
5SDI12("Distance~m",=1CV,AD"0",R301,LM)
And I just got the parameter that I want.
Is it possible to connect the DT-80 physical RS485 (Tx & RTS) to OTT RLS using SDI-12 protocol?
Thanks.

Greetings,
I am currently configuring a soil pressure transducer from Tokyo Measuring Instruments with a DT80 Series 4 data logger. I have calibration data (attached images) but am having trouble setting the DEX-2 parameters for the sensor based on these documents.
I am using a Current Bridge but am unsure what the channel variable should be or what to assign it to. The input range is set

Hello everyone,
in Germany, the first provider will switch off 2G in the summer of 2028, Is it possible to connect an external 4G modem to a DT85GM to continue sending alarms via SMS? Has anyone tested this yet? Are there any recommended modems?
Kind regards

I can read MODBUS 32bit floating point values into the DataTaker. Using p56=4, I can also see the hex code coming in and it is correctly coded up as 32bit floating point data. And I can even get that 32bit hex code to span across two Channel Variables. This is my simple code: 1MODBUS(AD1,R4:2001,=1..2CV)
BUT, I cannot then get that floating point data to display as anything other than two sep

Hi,
I have a DT80 datataker attached to several type T thermocouples. My issue is that at some points the thermocouple temperature "jumps". It jumps, then continues at the new temperature for a while, then there is another jump and so on. This occurs even when I am not interacting with my setup.
I have attached a graph showing two jumps, one at around 61 s the other at around 68 s. For ref
I'm using eEX-2 to setup the Triggering (Every); Execute Every to 2 seconds. After I save it, and restart the DT-80, but it still keep Execute Every to 1 seconds.

DT 85 runs fine for about two weeks and then gets the following errors and quits logging and pushing data. I also can't connect with DE transfer via port 7700. I can connect with Dex 2 and download the data manually but it quit logging once the errors accord. Here are the errors.

Dear Users & Support,
I'm having troubles in setting up a second CEM extension into my DT80 series 3 logger. I have successfully connected one CEM20 extension into the datalogger channel 1. However, when I try to do the same for a second CEM20 connecting it to channel 2, I keep getting RefError while reading the measurements from the command line interface.

I am trying to connect DT80 to my computer and test whether I can read the registers for two thermocouple points that are connected via 485 connection.
On the serial port, I have 9-pin serial cable that I terminated to a RS485 to USB converter (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B081NBCJRS). I use Pin no. 3 for A+, Pin no. 7 for B- and Pin no. 5 for G.

can anyone please guide me how to connect 3 wire strain guage to DT85G logger and how to collect data from it?
i am a first time user and didnt know about this.
if anyone can provide me connection diagram or any document regarding this.
it would be very helpful for me.

Dear Sir,
In our facilities, we have several units of Datataker, namely DT80G-3 and DT85-3, used in structural health monitoring activities of bridges and other large structures.
One of the DT80G-3 suffered the effect of lightning (we deduce), and some components broke, which completely shut down the device.
We have already replaced the DC-DC converters U165 and U166 and the unit has sta
