Hello to all, today i installed my series 1 DT80 in a industrial machine and i am very glad to say it works well.
The data is read-able from the internal network from any computer in the network. Special thanks to Rudy who helps me whith several problems.
I tried Delogger 5 (since dEX is not compatible whith series 1) but it does not work fine, also i need to install the program to each
Hi,
dataTaker does not have automatic detection on daylight saving however it is possible to introduce time manipulation through the code.
This is the code Jairus Pascoe from Metro Train which address daylight saving in Melbourne. Daylight saving in Melbourne start on 2 am the first Sunday of October and end on 2 am the first Sunday of April.
4ST(=11CV,W)
20SV(=12CV,W)
21SV(=13CV,W)
My datataker DT80 is bought second hand so i do not know what powersupply is recommanded for it to power it from 230VAC.
The power adapter i use right now seems to have to low power sometimes so i want to order a new one (local) whith the right specs.
So could you please specify voltage , current and id possible the diameter of the correct connector inner diameter / outer diameter.

Hi,
Current measurement using internal shunt resistor may prove difficult to achieve because there is measurement relay which separate output circuit of the sensor with shunt resistor. Using a default measurement delay of 10 ms may not be enough for some sensor.
Thus the only solution is increasing measurement delay, however some sensor may need a couple second to establish stable current

Hello all, i bought a secondhand DT80 and i woud like to gather the most recent software and firmware.
I read some about updating but most descriptions mention the series to be a breakpoint for having some updates possible or not. Seems series 2 and 3 are suitable to handle DEX, while series 1 are not.
So how to figure out what series i bought?
I have DT80 S/N 082272 , on the side p

We need a simple way to totalizer a slow pulse from water meters and the same time reset counter each datalogging. Reset is easy using dEX with “Reset Counter”, but ”doesn’t exist the “Totalizer Counter for ever”

Our distributor in Chile sent us a request to implement PenMan-Montieth formula for evapotranspiration measurement using dataTaker. This formula requires several parameters that need to be calculated first from 10 measurements:
temperature (average, maximum and minimum)
relative humidity (average, maximum and minimum)
wind speed average
radiation
altitude from sea level
latitude

This time I will explain about some possible causes of error related modem messages:
SESSION: Failed [Network check] - will retry
This error is related to connection testing by pinging to dataTaker website after the internal modem established a data connection. If the pinging is unsuccessful, data connection will be dropped.
There are 2 possible issues:

Hi,
I have a DT85 with 1 CEM20 connected to channel 1. They are both collecting strain gauge data. I have the strain gauge wires going to the DT85 and CEM20 grounded via the grounding screw on the case of the DT85.
All the DT85 channels are looking good in terms of data and noise but the CEM20 ones are all showing the same noise levels. I do have a channel in each unit to compensate for n

10 kohms range is one of dataTaker series 3 measurement limitation, however there is method to pass this limit without even using a parallel resistor depicted on R6 wiring configuration of resistance measurement (DT8x User Manual).
Resistance measurement is obtained by excite a resistance device with current source, then measure the voltage across. Within dataTaker this voltage reading will g

Hi there,
The plan is to use a DT85 with a SMSX modem as a method of connection. Unfortunately I am having difficulty in getting a this to work. I am using sim cards where the carrier is Vodaphone, but the provider is BT.
I have a terminating Data Number, (as far as I know) - I have two different numbers for the Sim, one regular number to call the phone & one data line.
I am tr
Hi Roger,
I have an installation with an S3 DT50 and a SMSX modem. The customer cannot always dial into the system. Every so often (could be once a week could be once a month) the comms link between the logger and the smsx unit seems to go awol.
The only remedy seems to be to power down and up again the SMSX and to plug in a laptop to DT50 and try to connect a few times. The connection d
Hi there,
I'm going through the manual "Using the SMSX modem with DT800 range of dataTaker data loggers." When entering and executing the following:
SINGLEPUSH BEGIN RX DELAY=2000 REFT(=1CV,NR) DO{[/h/Z/r/e/m]} DO"ET-SMS=0|Logger Temp ?1F1 DegC|P0|30^M" END G
I should be able to send "X" to the logger, and get some data in return. The only thing I get is:

While recording CAN SPN data on a Freightliner Cascadia J1939 bus I get expected reading for a while, then the SPN reads 0xFF for a few frames.
After it will read normal for a while then read 0xFF. Does anyone know what causes this? I use the same equipment and program on a Mack truck and the data reads normal all the time.
Hi Roger,
I have upgraded the firmware of DT81 Series 2 (Sr. No. 086321) to latest version. But when connected to PC, the PC is detecting as USB Serial Converter unlike new DT82E when connected, opens the Explorer and we can do programming using dEX software.
Please give us your inputs to rectify this problem.

Dear all,
I'm currently in the process of connecting a Solartron DC50 LVDT to a dataTaker DT80G for some linear displacement measurements.
Here's what I've found out so far, do correct me if I'm wrong about any of these information:
DT80G will only tolerate LVDT outputs of +/- 2.5 VDC?
The output of the excitation terminals on DT80G are +/- 4.5V?
When connecting LVDT to
We are new to Datatakers and are trying to get a SDI12 device to work on a new DT82E. The command SDI12SEND 4 "0!" (or any address or command) returns "no response".
An oscilloscope on 4D confirmed output, but the transitions were present for about 300 ms rather than the 20 or 30 ms needed to send the break and the two characters The data being output at the SDI12 port was...{ Break 0!0!0! )
Recently I was out in the field recording data and then i came back to retrieve the data off of DT80. When I connected dataTaker back to the computer, dEX program informed me that there is no data to retrieve since there is currently no job present.
Somehow during the travel between the two location all of the data and program stored on the logger has been erased. My question is what might
