Let us know
Edit Timestamp

Hi.

I have a dataTaker logger, I want to ask if it is possible to change the timestamp format on the dataTaker DT80/DT82E. default (yyyymmddThhmmss) becomes (yyyymmddhhmmss). is there any configuration that needs to be implemented?

Thanks.

Hi adaahkam,

Two possibilities are coming from this question:

  1. If you are referring to the FTP transfer filename

You cannot use the default template of ?(timestamp) to generate a specific file name. Instead of using ?timestamp), you will need to assign the name part individually, for example:

20SV(=1CV,W)
IF(1CV<10){1$="0"}
IF(1CV>=10){1$=""}

21SV(=2CV,W)
IF(2CV<10){2$="0"}
IF(2CV>=10){2$=""}

22SV(=3CV,W)

3ST(=4CV,W)
IF(4CV<10){4$="0"}
IF(4CV>=10){4$=""}

2ST(=5CV,W)
IF(5CV<10){5$="0"}
IF(5CV>=10){5$=""}

1ST(=6CV,W)
IF(6CV<10){6$="0"}
IF(6CV>=10){6$=""}

The filename reconstruction within the COPYD syntax would be
"?(3CV)?(2$)?(2CV)?(1$)?(1CV)?(4$)?(4CV)?(5$)?(5CV)?(6$)?(6CV).csv"
2. If you are referring to the date/ time stamp within the CSV file

You cannot use the output in CSV format since it will give you the default time stamp. Instead, you must construct your output sequence using a Free Format. Obviously it will be challenging to build your own sequence unless you are using ALARM text as your data output. Please send a separate request to datataker.support@thermofisher.com if you wish to get into this option.

Hi adaahkam, Two possibilities are coming from this question: 1. If you are referring to the FTP transfer filename You cannot use the default template of **?(timestamp)** to generate a specific file name. Instead of using **?timestamp)**, you will need to assign the name part individually, for example: ```` 20SV(=1CV,W) IF(1CV&lt;10){1$=&quot;0&quot;} IF(1CV&gt;=10){1$=&quot;&quot;} 21SV(=2CV,W) IF(2CV&lt;10){2$=&quot;0&quot;} IF(2CV&gt;=10){2$=&quot;&quot;} 22SV(=3CV,W) 3ST(=4CV,W) IF(4CV&lt;10){4$=&quot;0&quot;} IF(4CV&gt;=10){4$=&quot;&quot;} 2ST(=5CV,W) IF(5CV&lt;10){5$=&quot;0&quot;} IF(5CV&gt;=10){5$=&quot;&quot;} 1ST(=6CV,W) IF(6CV&lt;10){6$=&quot;0&quot;} IF(6CV&gt;=10){6$=&quot;&quot;} The filename reconstruction within the COPYD syntax would be &quot;?(3CV)?(2$)?(2CV)?(1$)?(1CV)?(4$)?(4CV)?(5$)?(5CV)?(6$)?(6CV).csv&quot; ```` 2.
