Hi,

I would like to name my COPYD file name as the date (eg. 09022014.csv). I am not interested with the date+time (which is the default name). I'm interested in the date only because I unload the data only once a day. Anyway this can be done?

Hi,

I am wondering whether we can configure DT to let 2 MODBUS TCP/IP Master to access to it's registers. That means we have to configure two ports (502 and another). Can we do this?

Hello,

yesterday I got a new DT80 with Firmware V9.10.
Also I saw a few topics with the subject * firmware V9.10.

On the homepage "datataker.com" I can see only the download link for V9.08.
Is the firmware V9.10 downloadable from the homepage of datataker?
What are the news in this firmware?

Thanks

Hello,

I have moved to a new RS485 device that is sending data to a DT80.

In the past I used an RS232 device and it worked correctly.

The issue is with reading the packets of data and storing them into CVs. The old RS232 device used ";+" between the data to break up each value, then it could be stored into separate CVs.
I simply put these in between each serial input command and

I have been trying to find a way of logging the o/p of an anemometer with a DT80, it produces an frequency o/p between 4.9 -34Hz (equivalent to 3.9-26m/s) which sits on a variable o/p voltage of a couple of hundred mV.

Hi!

I'm trying to write a batch/vbs script, so that some of my colleagues, that don't have knowledge of the dataTaker programming language, can preform some tasks.
I connect using a batch file and port 7700.

Then I run the vbscript starting with /e/m/r, some commands like LOGONA and ending with /E/M/R, and everything goes as expected. After this, I cannot quit the telnet window, unless

Hello,

Quite a virgin with this so experiencing lots of challenges. We have a DT80 who has to log several items from our TDS100 heatmeters. Connected over RS485, each has its individual address (1 to 4) and comms over Modbus protocol. TDS uses Modbus RTU where the DT is set as Modbus master (or slave?). The TDS do see the DT80, they respond to 1MODBUS (AD3) etc but we cannot seem to get the r

Hello!

I have some questions about this topic!

I know that when power fails, internal battery fails and lithium battery fails, the clock/calendar is reset to 1989, and loses some memory settings. My question is which ones?

I Know that in DT800 it loses is mains frequency P11, date format P31 and time format P39. I do not know if it is the same in the DT80.

I have firmware 9.14.

Hi,

I've got a situation with my dataTaker program. I'm using the DataTaker to store the values of holes being dug into the ground. I've programmed it to unload data into a .csv file every time a hole is dug, with the file name being the coordinate of the holes.

How can i retrieve back the last value of HSC after data taker power on ? Means that the last counter of HSC will restore back.

Hi,
I'm trying to convert one of the serial command to the data taker command.
Kindly advise if my translation command is wrong.

Serial Command is :-
AT+CMGS=<+60174365685><CR><message><CTRL-Z>

If convert it to data taker command, it should be :-
2SERIAL("{AT+CMGS=+60174365685^M}{TESTING^Z}")

Is it correct ?
