I formatted a 4GB Kingston DataTraveler 100 thumb drive (USB 2.0) in a DT82E.

The Datataker read the USB for many minutes before returning front panel control.

It took quite a while to format (no big surprise).

This worked and created the appropriate SNxxxxx directory with a job file in it.

Hellou!

I having big problems when using Datataker to Loadcell measurements. Loadcell has been calibrated so, that when using 10 V excitation voltage the linear gauge factor is 99,453 kN/mV. Now we get numbers between 600-1000 mV and there are no scaling factor during measurement. Loadcell should give numbers between 0-2 mV, because the calibration area is that. What can be wrong?

With DT80 G I have to measure time (let say in seconds) for which one digital input is in the status ON (how long it stays ON). Once when it goes OFF time has to be reset i.e. set to 0. It is not clear to me how to do this.

Hello all,
I have some(many) "error" with reading of Vibrating Wires (range 600-1200Hz). i put a Measurement Delay but nothing seems to work well.
With manual reader (GK404 or sisgeo type) no problem appears, the value is stable. I use a DT80G serie3 and the measurement is very degraded , (sometimes i can read the real value same with my manual reader, some other times i read about 2600Hz

we have DT85G recently, and we need to connect to it 3-wires LVDT of monitran company. we did several attempts of connection and all these gave an error reading.
the lvtd features are stroke 125mm , supply voltage =9 to 24 Volts Dc(regulated) and its connection details are RED for supply volts DC , Blue for 0 volts DC and green for output(0-5).

Hi,
I solved a problem on communication between DT80g (and likely also other DTx) and Linux OS using standard serial terminal. You can send text commands and receive output in the same way as with DeTransfer or in dEX command window but conveniently from Linux environment. This solution was tested on Ubuntu 16.04 but should work on other Linux-based systems as well. Here are the details.

Hi,

We have recently purchased a DT82I for use with an industrial coater. The coater sends strings of real time parameters which are forwarded through a RS232 port to a dot matrix printer. I was hoping to use the datalogger to retain a digital copy on a usb and then send the print command to the dot matrix printer. Since both printer and coater communicate only over RS232 I was planning on co

Hi,

I'm running a program to read and record values from an PT-100 RTD and a MODBUS device. The problem is, the resistance value of the PT-100 isn't read properly by the dataTaker. If I run the PT-100 program alone, there is no issue about the reading. But once the MODBUS device is connected to the sensor port, and the program runs together, the resistance values of the PT-100 increases by m

Hi,

I'm using the DT82I for logging current and voltage values from a current monitoring device. I've used around 170 CV's to log and display the data, in addition to individual labels. The data has also been collected without any problem.

The problem is that the last 10-15Cv's seem to have no label/name. I'm running similar programs on 2 separate DT82I's, and both have the same problem.

Hi,

We've got a DT82I running 24/7 at a remote site. The program is meant to retain some CV's to be used as reference for the next day.

But, I've noticed that my DT82I sometimes doesn't seem to retain those values. Upon checking, we found that the DT82I displays the "DT80 restarted / Power loss" message every morning. But we have it running on an UPS, so I doubt power supply is an issue.

Hi,

I'm trying to do manual data downloads via a 2 GB USB stick. However, every time I insert the USB stick, the logger runs into SW Exception error.

I have the latest 9.20.8942 firmware with a DT82I Series 3. The error I'm getting is Reset 9.20.8942 EXCEPTION (c8610007).

Is there a way to fix this issue? I need to resolve this ASAP as I will be deploying these into the field shortly.

Does anyone have experience using JBUS with Datataker? I appreciate if you can share your experience. I read that JBUS is similar to MODBUS except for the adressing. I found it is NOT true. Any comments?

Hi,
When there is no DNS server, the DT generate it's own IP adress 169.254.xxx.xxx. Is there any way we can use the key on the DT to change this address? I feel this way is easier than changing the computer's address to match DT's subnet. Any feed back is appreciated.

Hello,

I have set up a current-excited bridge (BGI) circuit for a DT800 to measure the strain across five quarter-bridges on a channel pair, as shown in the attachment. The problem I am having is that I do not know what scaling factor to use to convert the incoming ppm signal to microstrain for each measurement. In addition, I am not always running all five bridges, which I assume changes the

Hello,

I am trying to use ICP type of Accelerometer with Datataker DT800.

For this I need 4mA constant current supply continuously from Datataker.

However, datataker does not supply (or I couldn't adjust it) current continuously. It excites when it measures.

Is there any way to supply current without break?

Thanks
