New dataTaker DT82E Environmental Data Logger

2009-12-15T11:51:00.000-08:00

We are pleased to introduce the new dataTaker DT82E, an intelligent data logger that was designed with environmental applications in mind. The DT82E is a robust, stand alone, low power data logger featuring USB memory stick support, 18 bit resolution, extensive communications capabilities and built-in display.

Analog and digital channels, along with high-speed counter inputs, allow the DT82E data logger to easily connect to most sensors and data measurement sources. It can measure temperature, voltage, current, 4-20mA loops, resistance, bridges, strain gauges, frequency, digital, and serial devices. The dataTaker DT82E's Dual Channel Isolation allows 4, 2 wire differential or 6 common referenced analog inputs to be used in many combinations. Measurements can all be scaled, logged and returned in engineering units or within statistical reporting.

With support for SDI-12 sensor networks and 12V regulated output to power sensors, the DT82E is ready to be rolled out into environmental, industrial and many other types of monitoring projects.Group sampling, logging, alarm and control tasks within schedules to suit your requirements.

The DT82E can store up to 10 million data points in internal memory, with the ability to log as much or as little as you need with independent control of schedule size and mode. Overwrite or stop logging once allocated memory is full. Archive data on alarm event, copy to USB memory or transfer via FTP, the choice is yours.

Communications features include RS232 with modem support, Ethernet and USB memory stick ports. Connect to the DT82E locally, remotely or over the Internet. The Built-in Web Interface allows users to configure the DT82E, access logged data and see current measurements as mimics or in a list using a web browser. An Internal FTP Server provides data to your office over the internet or mobile phone network, without the need for polling or specific host software.
