New ProductsPlease enquire | DT80 New LoggerNew DT53 Digital Channel Logger The new DT53 digital only logger
has been added to the DT500 range. Internal battery option for DT50, DT51 and DT53We now have an internal lead-acid battery option available for DT5x models. This is a 0.5Ah battery capable of running a DT5x for approximately 2+ hours. This can be installed in the field but factory installation at time of order is preferred. June
2003 DT51 New economical logger The new dataTaker DT51 is a general purpose
economical logger suitable for end user or OEM use. The DT51 features 1 to 3 analog
channels depending on sensor type, four digital input channels, 3 high speed counters
and sampling speed of 25 - 70 samples per second. |
General
Description of Datataker data loggersFor further reading download the
Getting Started Manual: click here (.pdf file 1.3MB)
From one channel
data loggers up to systems with 90 analog inputs and many digital inputs.
These loggers read, return, and/or store analog & digital data
in engineering units from just about any electrical sensor or analog instrument
... thermocouples, transistor temperature sensors, RTDs, strain gauges, current
loop outputs from other instruments, voltages, currents, resistance, frequency,
period, etc, except AC (DT800 can measure AC).
AC voltages and currents
may be converted to mA signals for connecting to the logger, with external modules.
Analog
input channels can also sense logic level inputs (0/1). Readings are time
& date stamped automatically. The loggers are autoranging and auto calibrating
and have 15-bit resolution (1:40,000, 1µv). Accuracy is 0.15%, trimmable.
The Modem Manager (MM-01) can be used with a remote Datataker logger
for automatic dial-out of data & alarms.
See under "Software
& Accessories for Datatakers" in menu at left.
If there is no menu panel at left, click here
The digital inputs (with resistor pull-ups) sense ON/OFF states of contacts, etc, or count pulses over a desired period, either resetting or not resetting the counter at the end of each period.
With their alarm channels and digital outputs you can raise alarms, control external processes, or even modify the logger's activity (e.g. scan more frequently, or scan more channels).
Readings may be returned directly or converted to more useful form by changing the span limits or linearising with polynomials within the logger. Also, readings may be averaged, with standard deviation, maximums, minimums, & times these occurred.
The loggers allow calculations to be made within the logger on readings from any channel or between channels. There are internal variables for intermediate calculations and results, which may be read out or logged to memory. The loggers can determine change and rate of change on any channel, and perform integration.
DT600 & DT605 have an LCD display for immediate inspection of results. It also has control buttons, 3 alarm LEDs and beeper.
The data
may be either returned out of the serial port (isolated) to a computer
as it is collected,
or may be stored in the logger's own memory for
later retrieval.
Internal memory holds 165,000 readings.
Memory
cards sizes range from 1Mb which stores 340,000 readings in the DT50, DT500
& DT600 series.
2Mb or 4Mb cards may be used, which store 680,000 and
1,360,000 readings respectively.
DT800 has internal storage for 600,000
readings, expandable with PCMCIA cards.
If desired, the logger's serial
port can be connected to an "RS232
to USB converter" for connection to a PC USB port,
or to an Ethernet
port ... see accessories page.
The loggers have an in-built battery (except DT50 & DT51 which may use an external battery), allowing stand-alone use. Auxiliary batteries may be connected.
Mains frequency (50Hz) pick-up on the input leads is cancelled out. The reading rate is 25 readings per sec. (The reading rate can be made faster by reducing channel settle time, and integrate period, but the mains rejection is decreased.)
The
new DT800 samples at up to 200 Hz, with burst mode to 100KHz
(see 'New Products' section below).
What's NASA doing with a little Aussie logger? Same thing as the West German military, Danish Atomic Energy, General Motors, Volvo, ICI, ESSO, Antarctic bases (60 loggers), sales offices in UK, USA, China, India, etc. Just about all Universities and CSIROs in Australia, many industrial companies, Sydney Water uses over one hundred, Pacific Power & AGL have many.
Easy to control
The Datatakers are controlled by sending a 'program' of commands (ASCII characters) to the logger through its serial port from the Com port of an IBM-PC compatible.
DeTransfer software (Windows95/98/NT/2000/ME) is provided with the logger. It provides windows for command entry, and data download, and other useful features. DeTransfer includes DDE which can link data into other programs e.g. spreadsheets.
DeLogger (included) Windows icon based PC program may be used to generate control programs and process and display graphically the data resulting, or else you may use DeTransfer (included) to write a program using the simple commands (ASCII characters).
DeLogger Pro also supports remote site connections & mimic displays.
A very simple example of a text program:
To read
the date, time, then three K type thermocouples every 2 seconds, send the following
program to the logger:
R2S 1..3TK <Enter>
These commands mean:
Repeat every 2Sec,
ch1 to ch3 Thermocouple
K type.
Date and time are returned automatically if desired. These and many other parameters are easily set with software switches.
The data can be returned from the logger in real time, or at a later time from its memory. When logging data to the logger's own memory, time and date are automatically recorded.
Data can be returned in various forms, for example in column format,
which suits display on a dumb terminal:
Date 2/6/2000 (Date &
Time may be returned if desired)
Time 00:08:48
1TK 28.4 Deg C (1TK indicates channel 1 with Thermocouple K
type etc, etc.)
2TK 29.6 Deg C
3TK 35.2 Deg
C
or with numbers only, and any desired delimiter:
00:08:48,
28.4, 29.6, 35.2
00:08:50, 28.5, 29.7, 35.3
00:08:52, 28.6, 29.6, 35.4 etc, etc,
which is suitable for use
by a computer program, spreadsheet, etc..
Time can be in hours:min:sec, or just seconds, or decimal hours, and can be either from time of reset, or from last midnight.
Date can be specified, as day number, or dd/mm/yyyy.
The internal real time clock runs from its own battery with ten year life
expectancy.
The loggers are highly flexible, and can be set up in all sorts of ways to suit the task to be done.
