Could you tell me what resolution in degree I will have using the datalogger DT80 with a thermocouple (type T)?
Thank you,

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.
Hi,
I'm using a DT80 with a CANgate interface. When I want to log with the OBDII protocol, I get this information on the TEXT WINDOW:

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?
I understand SMSX can only send data by SMS. Please recommend a suitable modem to send emails.
If (1) has been done before: I have used another type of datalogger+modem pre-configure
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.
Now to t
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:
ALARM142(514CV><6
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.
Hi,
I have a customer here who wishes to control the temperature of a water bath remotely ie. two thermocouples measuring the process temperature are connected to a dataTaker (suitable model) which is logging the temperatures.
A water bath with heating/cooling functions and a thermocouple is located remotely for example 200 or 300 miles away. The water bath temperature must be controlle
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.

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.
