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...

Dear Sir,
We are facing he following problems in DT80 (being used in Automatic Weather Monitoring Station for acquiring weather information from various sensors)
DT80 is acquiring erroneous data from some of the sensors randomly.It acquires underrange or overrange data fro Temperature and wind direction sensors (resistance),Relative humidity and solar radiation sensors (voltage) etc. Th
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?
Thanks,

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,
Ken
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.

Hi,
I am setting up a DT80 to be accessed over the network, I can connect through Delogger, Detransfer, HTTP and FTP. I am wondering if there is any way to set a password for access to the dataTaker. Because the way the network is set up anyone could access it from any where and we want a basic level of access restriction.
I tried creating a password with "password='xyz'" command, but I
Hi Members,
Does anyone know if there's a way to store an accumulated count so it can be read back as a starting point again following a Singlepush or power cycle on a DT80?
This isn't a concern for normal counts that are reset periodically or analog channels, but in the case of rainfall which is reset every 9am, if the DT needs a power cycle or Reset on site any total counts will be lo
OK my subject is a little misleading, but only a little. What I wanted to do was get opinions in that DT might take notice of (or maybe they already have).
As I see it there is 2 current ways of expanding a DT80/85:
Analog MUX and drive this from the digital outputs (cheap, but code to develop).
Hang a DT5xx/8x etc off the serial sensor channel (costly, complex code).
I see four ways th
My DT80 is not running on battery as soon as I remove the main power. DT80 status shows battery is giving 6.36V dc voltage. Please clarify. It is urgent.

Good morning Roger,
In view of the latest DT80 firmware upgrades now available, since nobody else has asked the question regarding upgrading via a USB stick, I will.
How does one do it? The manual is very vague about the procedure with only a scant mention on p197. "There are also other ways you can upgrade your DT80's firmware (remotely by FTP transfer, or using a USB memory device, fo
Good Afternoon Roger,
The scenario is this: I would like to sleep for ten seconds and then wake up to gather data for 5 secs and then continue looping as above.
What is a suitable program should I use? I have tried this:

It would help my users to be able to write a text program, put it on a thumb USB drive, plug it into a DT80, get a text file of data on the USB drive, and pull that out and analyze it with Excel at their desktop.
But I don't see how to do this. Am I right to understand it isn't possible? So, for people to use the DT80 as a standalone datalogger without connecting it to a PC, they would have
Hi!
I have a DT80 about 4000 km away. It was working happily until someone pulled the plug and the battery discharged. A month later, when someone went to stick in the USB device to download the data for me, they noticed the DT80 had been unplugged...
On plugging the power cord back it, the DT80 started up of course, but all the data now is rubbish - the DT80 is running - I don't know w
