Guys I want to input 5 analog signals into DT80, combine the 5 analog values into one string in DT80, maybe add some NMEA symbols like "$" and "WMD" into the string, and then output the string through RS232 host port or sensor port.
So DT80 acts something like a analog to RS232 converter. Is this possible?
Advance thanks.
Here is a quote from Datataker Australia:
USB Memory Stick: We do not recommend the use of USB flash drives for logging as they are not robust and the DT80 does not have any retaining mechanism to retain the drive, it can fall out.
Does "DT80 does not have any retaining mechanism to retain the drive, it can fall out" means the USB stick PHYSICALLY fall off the slot? or does it mean data
Guys Is there any way to encrypt DT80 code? Maybe directly compile it into assembly language so the end user cannot access it??
Advance thanks.
Do I have to worry about switch bounce when using the counters in the DT80?
Thanks,
Mike

I am searching for a channel variable that can perform a delta on the 1st record in a log, and the most recent logged record in a log.
Is that possible? There is a channel variable for 2 successive log measurements values in. This is called (DF) Difference (current reading - previous reading.) This is category of Data Manipulation under channel variable types. I would like to do a Delta calc
I am looking for the programming method to count and average readings during a data collection period. Example: Data Log Survey Duration 1 Hr. Cumulative average of temp readings for each channel averaged every 20 seconds.
Then plotted on a graph. If temp readings are both hi and low, then the cumulative avg. line for the graph would be centered horizontally in the graph.

Hi All,
My current project involves a DT85 on a ship, connected to the internet via a 3G router with a PC on the same LAN.
The PC is running a LabvView front-end to present live data from DT85. DT85 archives data to a remote FTP server every few hours, but I am wondering if there is a way that I can update the DT85's program remotely.
I can't connect to it directly as it doesn't ha
I have a series 1 DT80 Rev.7.04 firmware Ser.No. 084444 which defies all my attempts to get it to communicate via the Ethernet port.
I have carried out a "triple push" reset and have also upgraded the firmware, but despite trying to communicate with the logger via a "switch" or "peer-peer" connections,changing cables, etc., the error message "connection forcibly rejected" is returned.

PROBLEM 1:
I set DT80 series 2 host port to RS232. I hooked up a serial input 9600,8,n,1 to DT80 DB9 host port, with three pins connected Rx,Tx and ground.
The signal is verified with hyperterminal. The serial input format in ASCII text, 10 hz(10 output/s) = "120". Just a 3 digit integer. I delete all jobs in DT80. I configured and load a new program in Delogger5.
The program show o
In Delogger5 program window, I changed the trigger rate to 2s (DT80 now has 10s), and click "send to connection".
I only loaded a program on schedule A job1, but DT80 still logs at 10s. I tried restarting DT80 using singlepush, and also restarting Delogger5, for about 6 times. It is no use.
Here is my program which shows on DT80 web interface, though it shows 2s, but on DT80 green "
Hi!
SSDIRECT connection to the serial sensor port is a great thing. One can use it to communicate with the sensor direct and indirect over the DT80. This is a function of great use!
However, I figured out some problems with devices at the serial port. It seems that DT80 transmit the data in SSDIRCT mode line wise with a termination character (can be set in the command).
That works
Hello,
I have a number of DT80's i am setting up to be deployed on class 8 trucks. I am trying to set parameter P28=3 for the modem (Enfora) to get power from the logger and stay on when it sleeps.
But P28 does not exist on my DT80:

Is there a way for the DT80 to set up a schedule to log the state of the latching relay and have it displayed on the LCD screen? I am setting up the unit such that the latching relay will be toggled by writing to the MODBUS register for it.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up a schedule to log the state of the relay in the unit itself. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Could you tell me what resolution in degree I will have using the datalogger DT80 with a thermocouple (type T)?
Thank you,
Francois
Hi Guys,
My network knowledge is quite noobbie, don't mind a bit of hand holding on the manly side of course. I want to FTP DT80 data to a FTP. I hooked up an Ethernet connection with DT80 and a single computer (manual page 141), set IP to 192.1681.52 etc, obtained interaction with DT80 embedded web page.
Great. I set up a free FTP in http://www.drivehq.com/ with username:datataker and
I have a need to install numerous DT80s into a network and the network administrator is reluctant to give out a bunch of static IP addresses for me to use (the admin would give me one or two static IP addresses to use, but I would need many more).
Is there a way to configure DeLogger Pro, DT80s, and routers so that I can deal with a network that hands out dynamic IP addresses? Each DT80 woul
Hi All,
I am having a problem setting up a DT80 as a Modbus slave on the RS232 port, and I think it may be because the profile settings are not being used properly, if at all.
Every time I try to load a job, the PROFILE commands seem to be ignored and I get the following error message: Invalid PROFILE section/key name at column 53 [ _OLD_DATA'<err> ] I have done DELALLJOBS and FAC
Hi all,
I am using a string-potentiometer with a 2 wire 4-20mA output with a DT85. I have wired it up in the "C3-Independent current using internal shunt and external excitation" way and the channel definition is 9#L(E).
For the external power I have actually put a jumper 12V output and GND terminals to the EXT* and EXT# terminals on the DT85 and set 1SSPWR=1. This seems to work fine.

I understand SMSX can only send data by SMS. And if an Ethernet connection modem is used, it is very easy to configure DT80 to FTP small data files on a regular basis. Please recommend a suitable Ethernet connection modem that is often used with DT80 to FTP data with GPRS.
Can DT80+modem be configured to send data by emails automatically every 10 minutes by GPRS ?
If (1) is possible, is the software configuration done mainly in DT80 or the modem? Is the configuration very difficult?

Hi Roger,
Could you please have a look at the oninsert.dxc file I attempted to use with a recently purchased DT85. I loaded the program into the text window using DeLogger and then saved it as the oninsert.dxc file.
After inserting the flask disk, everything appeared to work ok, but the job didn't load and still displayed "No current Job". Strange thing is, the two new functions were in

I am just getting acquainted with the DT81. I am reading a character string from a Gill Instrument Windsonic.
I had a TCP/IP socket program that queried the Windsonic directly but was instructed to insinuate the datataker for network data reduction purposes. I had been using vector statistics on the reading but will be looking at using your Radial statistical algorithm instead.

Hi folks,
I can't seem to get a time specifier to work on my alarm conditions. I am writing a program for a DT80 using DeTransfer. I have tried every combination of syntax I can think of.
Page 70 in the DT80 user manual has a description of how to use a time specifier to make an alarm only go true after a certain period of time. Example line from my code is:

Hi,
I am using a DT80 to log one analog 4-20 mA and two digital channels. I set the sampling frequency to 20 samples per second but I only get between two and four samples per second, randomly. Don't get why?
Does anyone have any tips on how to get faster sampling? If I read the data sheet the DT80 should handle up to 25 Hz sampling.
