Hi,

Help!! Please tell me, how can I measure pressure with DT800. We have the sensor model 3277: http://www.tecsis.de/filestore.aspx/de700.pdf?pool=website&type=file&id=833ae8a0-7d35-45c8-899b-11641fc94082&lang=en&filetype=default

With best greets,

The DT800 we are using always stops logging data after logging about 1,6 MB of data. It is apparently logging into a 1 GB card, so the /o switch should not trigger as there is plenty of space to log into. Has anyone experienced such a problem?

Can it a configuration problem or a problem with the data card?

I need to log temperature at 1 second intervals over a 5 minute period after receiving a digital input. There is no problem with getting the logging to start after the digital input, but not having much luck with getting it to stop.

Any info would be a great help.
Thanks

I having trouble setting up the DT800 to get correct readings from a thermistor. I'm using a 100 kOhm at 25 degC.

At first I set it up without entering info into the thermistor tab with the channel set at YS06 which I thought was the closest to what i had and was able to get the readings to change (read temp as -26C at room temp).

But once i entered data into the thermistor tab I it rea

Hi,

Can i program the DT800 to log the time in secs and continue to add the time the DS in on =1. I was thinking along the lines of sending the DS to a CV and an alarm on the CV but how to count the time.

Any suggestions?

Before you read this - I'm pretty much feeling my way in this area - so have pity if my errors are obvious and basic...

I have a load cell, which provides its data to an LED display. I want to also log the load it registers using my DT800. The LED unit has terminals: Signal +/- and Excitation +/- Excitation is 10 VDC.

Hi,

I have compiled the following piece of code using Delogger Pro to actuate a relay when alarm conditions are met in 50CV and in 15CV 16CV & 17CV and I have grouped the three CVs together as in start channel 15 end channel 17CV.

Is this correct that the alarm will be true if the 50CV is met and less than 16C in the further 3 CVs individually or should I separate the 3 CVs and put

Hi,

I have just compiled the program example below which is switching on and off equipment through relays with digital output channels based on certain conditions being met.

At present I cannot test this program and therefore just wanted to check the syntax and general program is OK.

Hi Roger,

I was wondering what programming language is used in programming the DT800, as i would like to learn how to program the DT800 and not only use Delogger interface. From many of the code examples and solutions to questions asked here in the forum it seems knowing programming code would be most helpful.

Regard's,

Hello,

I have a flow meter that gives a pulsed output every 10 liters of water passed. It is set up as a counter. I would like to not monitor the flow anymore but rather the temperatures of various parts of the system until the pump comes on (i.e. when the flow meter is not working).

Then when the pump stops working I would like measurements to start recording again. There is no set tim

When connecting to my DT800 by modem, I always get a status not returned warning, and frequently I get a status check error which then results in the connection being closed.

When the status warning is related to the currently running job, I can usually connect successfully. But when the warning is related to a job not currently running, the connection usually fails. Any idea what might be c

Hi,

I have 3 power meters monitoring power consumption and sending a signal back to DT800 where the 3 measurements are added to give total consumption.

I wish to connect an external digital display wall mounted to display the calculated total consumption. Any suggestions as to how I can achieve this as the calculated consumption is from 3 meters which give separate 0+10V back to DT800.

Hi,

In my continuing quest to make a DT800 a thermocouple in disguise, I need to check for the possibility that one of my input thermocouple has been fried or broken.

I see a post in another forum about using a 2-wire resistance check. When I have a thermocouple (type-K) into channel 7, read as 7TK, I get a sensible reading. However, if I try and read its resistance, I am returned eithe

What does the following sequence of LEDs indicate:

Acquiring LED flashes
Charging and card busy LEDs flash
Acquiring LED flashes
All five LEDs flash
This sequence repeats itself. A triplepush reset during this problem had no effect and we are unable to establish communications via modem with the DT800. It appeared also as if the DT800 program halted unexpectedly.

Thanks,

Hi,

I may be crazy (see above), but it seems impossible to assign channel variable numbers with exponential notation less than 1 (ie. with a negative exponent). eg. 1CV=1E2 1CV 100.0 1CV=1E3 1CV 1000.0

Now fractional values: 1CV=0.1 1CV 0.1 But... with exponential notation, only zero is stored: 1CV=1E-2 1CV 0.0 1CV(FE7) 1CV 0.000000E0

I've been trying to write a little program, and am sure there are better ways of doing the following.

Firstly, I'm trying to simulate an IF THEN ELSE clause, and following (kinda) the manual, I have:

IF(1CV><0,2){[GA 2CV(W)=3]}

What's the spec (db) on the DT800's internal buzzer?

The reason I ask is because it is usually not loud enough. Knowing the db rating on the buzzer would give me a starting point for where I need to go in purchasing a separate buzzer

I'm trying to figure out using a DT80 to write fixed format files on a USB drive and came across the following in the DT80 forum "The DT80 uses a binary file for data storage". This format gives us tighter control over data storage allowing faster card access and pre-allocation of files.

DT800 will go over to this format when V5 firmware is released next year. This was posted in 2005, but th

What terminal should I use as the return when using the Analog Out Ao terminal? I thought Sr looked most sensible and with my present experiment it seems to work fine - is this preferred?

Pg 148 drawing makes Ac look like a good choice, and maybe using Ac or even Sp I could create (differential) output voltages greater than 10 V this way if I wanted. Are any of these bad choices? Why?
