I finally got Dex running but notice that my interface looks different than what I have seen on youtube videos.

My version is 1.50.012. Is there a newer version available? If so then how to I get it? I couldn't find anything concerning version updates on the DataTaker website.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I've received this message when starting up my DT, which had already been running for some time. It states there's no active configuration. My DEX configuration was still stored, I just needed to restart the logger. I faced this issue another time when I reprogrammed a DT remotely, and noticed the next day, that the configuration wasn't active.

Anyone else faced this problem? Is there

Good morning!

I was wondering if there is a way to view a configuration file (.dex) that is saved on my computer without a dataTaker device connected (in my case, a DT85). Due to my current setup/ deployment of the data logger, it is inconvenient to spend much time with the computer down at the dataTaker. It's easier to work on the configuration at my desk, and then quickly load the file to t

I've been working on this DT80m we got from a third party for a while now. It's been a massive headache already and has had to go back numerous times for hardware issues & the suppliers have been somewhat less than helpful; but I'm just about at the stage where we can get the thing programmed and running.

To that end, could someone please explain to me the function of the code the unit ha

Starting dEXin my browser (Firefox, Chrome) will automatically translate the graphical interface into my local language (German), regardless the language settings in the "Customize dEX" menu.

Indeed this could be a good idea for customers who are not so familiar with English terms, but in some cases the translation is incomprehensible (e.g. "current" is translated into "Aktuell", that means "

Can anyone help me with Web Customizing?
I had copied the example as shown in manual pg 175 but it didn't came out as programmed in the shtml.
I had followed all the steps and guides from manual but still have the problem.

Hello,

I setup an event for one of the sensors, room temperature. The trigger event is greater than, Number = 70. On Output I selected action = E-mail immediately via Ethernet.

I checked Use this Event, Repeat output, Log text and Sent to Host Port. On the Measurement channel I have the orange bell (Alarm active), but I didn't get any e-mail. Please help me to solve that problem.

Hi

I am currently trialling a CAN Gate device to read and provide real time engine RPM data and also pass through GPS NMEA strings.
I can connect to the device however when I try and program the device I am getting no feedback from it.
It is currently NOT connected to a CAN Bus network.

Can you advise if I should get feedback from the device when programming?
Also is there a way

Hello,
On page 32 of the CANgate users manual. There is a sentence (listed below) about the options for the response to a poll command.
"These commands will normally send a poll command (RP memslot) then parse the response
and either log it directly or assign it to a channel variable (CV)."

In the past I have frequently used the option of logging the response directly. This has worke

Good day,
I have DT82I polling MODBUS data every second. I am using LabView driver provided for DT. Does this will interfere with the schedule inside datataker? It seems like new code is being written to datataker when LabView accessing the datataker.

Hi,

I'm new to datataker loggers, but reasonably comfortable in LabView working with a DT80 that is running a job with a number of schedules.

I can read the data i want via TCP/IP using a modified example vi without effecting the running job. I feel it's a bit clunky, obtaining in some cases quite a large array of data from the schedule (B and D), and then indexing in LabView to get what

Hello Roger,

I have a DT85 interfaced with LabView. I created 2 schedules, one at 5 seconds and the other at 15 seconds. I use low level Datataker driver to read real time data with 'Read RT' and 'Read line conn' to read the rest of the info I need as a string. Those 2 icons are Inside a While loop in LabView and that's about it.

The issue I have is that when looking at DeTransfer and co

I am using datataker DT80G with labview driver.
However, I'm facing a trouble. As I use DT8x ReadRealTimeAcquisitionData VI, I cannot avoid the Program change message. If I use DT8x ReadLineFromDataTaker before DT8x ReadRealTimeAcquisitionData VI, I can avoid the prgram change message for awhile but after a period of stable running, it will read program change message instead of the data retur

I read somewhere that the command DELDATA will be deleted from the firmware.

Does someone know from which version on this will be the case?
I want to know this because we have DataTakers series 1 running and are planning to buy new DataTakers which could mean we could getting problems with the command DELDATA.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am able to receive data in my LabView app, but as integers. How Can I change to have double digit precision?
The format my LabView app uses is Double, but all I see are Int.

Thanks,

Can you please explain the concept of Burst Mode a little please. When I try and sample a few channels at higher speeds the results often differ from what I expected. The sample intervals and number of samples don't always seem right.

I have an 800 series dataTaker connected to four 1/10th din classB RTD's all held at the same temperature inside a Vacuum flask. When I first started logging their temperatures typical readings were as follows; ch1-4, 21.45, 21.45, 21.43, 21.37. However after logging for four days under the same conditions the readings are now; ch1-4, 23.15, 21.64, 21.64, 21.69.

Hello,

I have 2 load cells, 0-5000 lbs on channel 3 and 0-1500 lbs on channel 4. I have interfaced each channel with BGI. I would like to know the syntax to label channel 3 as ''Balance'' and channel 4 as ''Moule à rebond''. Also, I have PPM but what is the syntax to convert to span to pounds.

Hi all,

I am trying to make several thermocouple measurements using J-type thermocouples connected to a DT85 through a CEM20. Right now, I am just testing out the sensors so I tried connecting them straight to the DT85 and also through the CEM20 and both REFT and 1REFT readings are coming out Overrange, leading to an error in my thermocouple reading.
