Description

The DT80 Universal Input Data Logger

The new Series 4 version of the DT80 Universal Input Data Logger has increased sampling speed, measurement range, and programmable analog output.

The dataTaker DT80 Universal Input Data Logger provides an extensive array of features that allow it to be used across a wide variety of applications. The DT80 is a robust, stand-alone, low-power data logger featuring USB memory stick support, 18-bit resolution, extensive communications capabilities, and a built-in display.

The dataTaker DT80’s Dual Channel concept allows up to 10 isolated or 15 commonly referenced analog inputs to be used in many combinations. With support for multiple SDI-12 sensor networks, Modbus for SCADA systems, FTP and Web interface, and 12V regulated output to power sensors, the DT80 is a totally self-contained solution.

Versatile Measurement

Connect an array of sensors through versatile analog and digital channels, high-speed counter inputs, phase encoder inputs, and programmable serial sensor channels.

Temperature, voltage, current, 4-20mA loops, resistance, bridges, strain gauges, frequency, digital, serial, and calculated measurements can all be scaled, logged, and returned in engineering units or within statistical reporting.

Set up sampling, logging, alarm, and control tasks to suit your own requirements while interfaces for smart sensors, GPS, and other intelligent devices expand the DT80 flexibility.

Superior Data Storage and Communications

With the standard unit able to store up to 10 million data points (expandable) you can log as much or as little as you need. Overwrite or stop logging once allocated memory is full, archive data on alarm event, copy to USB memory, or transfer via FTP/ Email, the choice is yours.

Communications features include RS232, USB, and Ethernet, and connect to the DT80 locally, remotely through a modem, or over the Internet. The web interface allows users to configure the DT80, access logged data, and see current measurements as mimics or in a list using a web browser.

FTP/ Email provides data to your office over the internet or wireless network, without the need for polling or specific host software.
