DePlot Software for Datataker Data Loggers

Go up one level to Datataker main page

DePlot is a plotting tool for DeTransfer, which produces chart recorder like plots of data that has been acquired by either dataTaker 50,500,600 series data loggers or dataTaker 80,800 series data loggers.

DePlot does not communicate directly with the data loggers - DePlot is an OLE 'client' of DeTransfer.
DePlot receives data from DeTransfer via the OLE functions of Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000.
DeTransfer in turn communicates with the dataTaker data logger to which it is connected, and 'serves' the data returned from the data logger to DePlot.

DeTransfer version 3.14 or later is required by DePlot, and must be running before DePlot is launched in order to plot data returned from a data logger.

DePlot can produce plots of

• real time data, that is returned from a dataTaker via DeTransfer as it is acquired
• logged data, that is returned from a dataTaker via DeTransfer as it is unloaded from the logger's internal memory or memory card
• imported DeTransfer unload files, which are created by DeTransfer when unloading logged data from a connected data logger directly into a data file. This function requires that dataTaker 50,500,600 series loggers have firmware version 4.02 or later, and that dataTaker 80,800 series data loggers have firmware version 1.00.000900 or later (the firmware version of your logger can be determined by the TEST0 command).

Plots created from real time data, unloaded data and imported data can be saved to disk file, and later opened again within DePlot. DeTransfer does not need to be running to reopen saved plot files.

DeTransfer and DePlot will run on any Pentium or similarly equipped computer, preferrably with at least 32Mbyte RAM. The operating system can be any of Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000. Computers with faster processors and faster video RAM will be more responsive during redraw of large data sets.
