Hello,

Have a question regarding logged data.
If I look at the csv file then it seems that sometimes data is shown with different numbers of digits in the same column while the real value does not change.

Please have a look at the attached document. For example the MS Battery Voltage column. Sometimes the data is shown with 5 digits then with 8 digits. While the sampled real value does

Hi there,

it is possible to send the event- and error logs per Email, triggered by a regular job schedule? Our system sends the measurement data on a regular basis via email, and it would be nice to have the logs available, too, in case something brakes. As far as I understood from the manual, the COPY command can only upload to an ftp server. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for your

Hi,
I need to use DT80M in area where there is no 3G coverage. At a similar location, we are using DT80 with external GSM modem connected to host port and using dial up connection to save the data remotely. Can we use the same approach with DT80M?

The SIM card also without GPRS service. It has only voice number and data dial up number.

We have DT85 and recently bought a DT80M.

Although, the instrument has not been installed and setup with the weather station bought separately since last 3 months.

Is datataker responsible for the application of the dataloggers or just the sale ?

Moreover, this is disheartening as we were promised end to end support.

What do the others do when the local vendors do not provide/

Hi,

I am using the DT80M for a weather station and I don't want to use the in-built modem.

How to turn the modem off permanently ?

Because it keeps trying to connect, it sends these ghost strings - "SESSION FAILED - sim problem, will retry" error messages and throws off the server that I run downstream.

Kindly let me know how to disable the modem ?

Hi dataTaker Users,

I want to share some information about using google mail server.
As you already know a standard google mail server has SSL encryption so it can't be used on dataTaker.

However there is one mail server that open for port 25 as well as without SSL encryption.
It is aspmx.l.google.com

Use this command

I experience this situation from time to time and there is no documented solution when the DT is operating in a remote monitoring situation.
What is the best and definitive way to prepare the DT to deal with this situation itself if it eventuates?
I want to avoid a hard reset though. That is problematic. Is there a "soft reset" option possible.

Hello,
I m trying to configure my own "CSV" format file. As far as I know, the predefined CSV format in DT is fixed, so that I cant for example remove the TZ column, or include a column with the JOB name... and so on. Thus, I have thought to use free format mode, and format data like a CSV (, separated values) and then upload to the FTP server with *.csv extension. However, using free format m

Hello. I am new to the DT80M having just returned to DT's since the DT50 era in the early 1990's.

I am developing a remote monitoring and control strategy for an Off Grid Renewable Energy solution that must have communications redundancy built into it to move at least a bit closer to a "mission critical" level of communications confidence. This is best achieved by having two different methods

Retrieving Datataker data direct into an Excel Worksheet in real time for any Excel process including real time data graphing was once a very simple process, setup by using a Datataker supplied ActiveX Control [datataker.ocx].

I need to do a preliminary evaluation of the quality of Cellular Signal available at a specific location to establish a "Signal Profile" for the location. This is an important preliminary test to gauge how reliable the communications will be. A week of data gathered and reported every hour by email will establish a reliable base line to evaluate.

Hello!

I have got a problem regarding the modem power config. I have fully configured a DT80M (system name, time and so on) including the modem power config, which is set to "ALWAYS ON" due the need of the DT to act as a http server. If I make a HARDRESET or a power loss occurs, the system reloads the config correctly, all parameters are set as its config value except the modem power config,

Hi sir,
Currently, i work project using DT80M, but it is required 3 communications with other system:

Ethernet for internet
GSM for sms
Modbus RTU for connect to other system.
I found Modbus RTU support via USB port. So i would like to ask about this port support convert USB to RS485 as picture:

Hello,

I received the DT80M without rechargeable internal battery. The explanation from the provider was there was no room inside the device.
Please, can you recommend what kind of rechargeable battery I should buy (type, Voltage, Ah)? To connect the external rechargeable battery to device require special needs or simple connect to left side of the device?

Thank you,
