Hi folks,
I have an application monitoring just about everything on a lake and now the client is asking for daily pictures of surrounding fauna, in particular the reeds and other normal aquatic growth.
Only one still shot per day would be required and download remotely is not needed so file size not really an issue, although I believe VGA resolution would be good enough. I'm wondering i
Hi Guys,
We were looking for a device to act similar to an accelerometer. We hooked a couple of wires to a suspended pipe and then configured an input into DT80 for frequency.
After banging the pipe, DT80 registered a distinct frequency which was pretty close to what we were hearing (about 350 - 400 Hz). How does the DT80 register this? What accuracy is possible with the frequency input
Hi Roger,
I download session from database and I get 6 parameters in analyse window. By using analyse window i want to draw 2-D line chart between any 2 parameters. (one parameter as X-axis and other parameter as Y-axis).
How can I do it ? Something similar to Microsoft Excel in which one can make data sheet and chart sheet. One can select any two parameters of datasheet and can draw a
I've got an issue with the low-power mode on the DT80. It's probably due to my misunderstanding of how it works, so I'd appreciate some help!
I have a very simple setup with a DT80 connected to a sensor on a digital input and increment a counter each time the sensor is activated. DT80 is externally-powered (through the screw-terminal connector as recommended in the manual) and also has the b
Hi,
I have a DT80 in a remote location and due to an extended power failure, it stopped logging. I have tried to reprogram it using a USB stick but no luck so far - it comes up with "Cannot Log No Space".
So by the looks the memory is already allocated from the previous program and in the new program (which is basically the same) the bit that sets the Data Store Size is causing the prob
Hi,
Hopefully this one is really easy & it is me being a numpty... . I am using DeLogger Pro V5 to connect to a DT85 via an SMSX modem link.
The problem I am having is that the returned data, (in csv file), no longer has the column headers attached to it... that is to say that the whole of row 1 in the spreadsheet is blank. I thought this would be something silly like a switch not
Has anyone tried using the s::can spectrometer with the DT80? I believe the s::can has MODBUS but can only function as a MODBUS slave and DT80 has MODBUS but it too functions as a MODBUS slave. So can I conclude that DT80 and s:: cannot talk?
Hi Roger,
Can I see datataker values directly on Delogger Analyse Window.(if my sample time period is 10 seconds, than i would like to see update of each value in to Delogger analyse window automatically and according to that change in chart).
Is it possible? Because according to delogger manual "A DeLogger analysis window is a static display of data loaded/'dumped' from a replay file o
I'm starting to get problems with a couple of our remote monitoring stations that use DT80s(we have approx 30 such units located all over the place) - these particular loggers are currently operating with Firmware version 6.06.
Both have a single program running which logs data on a 30 minute cycle. Problem, when connect to the logger I cannot access the data on the card, nor can I access th
I have been playing around with the new V7 firmware to try and overcome the issue of not knowing if the FTP 'push' of a file was successful.
Short story: It seems to work using the new 29SV variable in a simple alarm. I figured that every value below 0 for 29SV was bad and everything 0 or higher was OK, so used a simple regular alarm test every logging scan.
If the last FTP attempt was
Hello,
Is there any documentation anywhere on the operation and functionality of the OPC server? My OPC client (LabView) crashes whenever I try to browse the items published by the server.
Also, what is the maximum update rate possible. If I set a group rate at <1000msec, I get the message that the sever has forced this to 1000msec.
Thanks,

Hello there.
I'm trying to setup the DeLogger OPC server (on a WinXP machine) following the instructions in the help file.
However, when I get to step 3 (registering the OPC server DLL) I get the following error: "DllRegisterServer in C:\Program Files\Datataker\DeLogger\opc server\deLoggerOPCServer.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80029c4a"
Can anyone help?
Can anyone tell me how to do a linear regression (Y=mX+b) for two channels on a DT85? !
Dear Sir,
Last week, I already bought a new DT80 with new firmware 6.22. I got small problem here. Why i can't connect DT80 via RS232 null modem cable?.
Normally, i don't have any problem with this DT80. It's, new brand of DT80 had any changes with their command.
Hi,
I am getting an error through DeLogger Pro which says: Channel table full error at line XXX col XXX [ line text ] (sometimes this is followed with the DT80 resetting itself and SW EXCEPTION message on the LCD).
Does this mean I have reached the line capacity of a DT80 program? Do I have to make the program smaller to prevent this program load failure?
Cheers,

Hi,
I'm having endless troubles getting results from the dataTaker. I wish to email the logged data to myself. DT80 won't have DeLogger connection but will have have Ethernet. Does it need DeLogger running or can it do export/email automatically with a schedule? I have got the DLPMessageHandler.exe working (it emails fine) but don't know what the command is for making an email an action.
I get a connection error when trying to connect to the DT80,
Warning: Status not returned for Job: CODING
Warning: Status Check error
Warning: Connection Refused, STATUS Check Failure
Warning: Error connecting on COM4
Information: Connection Closing
Information: Connection Closed
How can i remedy this? I have tried hardware resetting (pushing the pin hole between USB and LAN ports.
Hi All,
I am still battling away on the project that I mentioned in a previous post, but as I have progressed slightly I thought it would be better in a new thread. My application is using a DT80 (and now also a DT85) to log data and then upload to a web server via FTP.
I am struggling to make the FTP part work. At the moment I have a DT80 connected to the internet via a Belkin router,
Hi All,
Here's a quick question... I am looking into using some satellite telemetry to send a large bunch of data daily and want to minimize transmission time to cut costs, one sure way is to reduce the file size being sent.
The data being a csv file should be able to be "zipped" substantially before being sent - is it possible to implement some form of data compression in the DT80? If
Hi All,
I am currently working on a D T80 project which involves numerous DT80s uploading data to a web server via a GPRS modem. I think I can transfer the data by opening an ftp connection to the server and then unloading using 'U' directly into a text file on the server.
Is there any reason to think that this might not work? Also, is there any way that the DT80 can handle strings rece
Hi all,
I am running a DT85 with CANGate attached, GPS & CAN 1 connected to J1939 Vehicle BUS. How do I show what's snooping on the can in real time - so I can ensure I have the correct PGN & parameters for the things I am trying to monitor?
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
Is there an easy way of finding the number of CV's used or a list? Up to now I've been looking through the program but this is tedious when the numbers are large, scattered or one becomes distracted...

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to dataTaker. Sorry if my questions seem like rambling but would like to let you in on the details so hopefully someone might diagnose the problem.
Anyhow I seem to have problems connecting to the DT80 using my laptop. I have followed the instructions by the book so I can't seem to troubleshoot my problem.
I'm using Ethernet connection to connect my lapto
When I try to connect to my DT80 with an RS232 standard comms cable, I can't. Is there anyone who knows why this happens?

I have a DT80 data logger and I have plugged it into our home router with an Ethernet cable. In about 3 months we are planning to go to England. How can I access the DT80 overseas? I need a very detailed description of what I need to do.

Hi,
I am a basic user of DT80, till now I'm measuring temperature through DT605 and DT80.
Now if i want to measure the rotation of shaft and want to log that rotation (RPM) into datataker, how can i do that??? "Do i need any extra torque meter?"

Hi,
Has anyone connected the new DT85 with a PLC through MODBUS? I am wondering if I could connect all my sensors to DT85 and send all CV data to a PLC using MODBUS TCP/IP or RS-232.
Will the MODBUS communication be real-time (every second) or PLC will only receive data based on my logging schedule?
Cheers,

Dear Sir,
One of our customer (Bharat Aluminium Ltd) is looking for DT80 or DT85 to log temperature and voltage data under 50 Gauss magnetic field environment (Pot flux process in Aluminium smelter plant).
We are not sure whether DT80/85 can work under this environment. However, we understand from customer that Aluminium company Dubai and Aluminium Bahrain are using dataTaker datalogger
I would like to know if the DT80 can send a controlling voltage that is proportional to what is being read on an analog channel.
