  Product Description:  
 

space

The dataTaker DT81 is an ideal unit for end users or the OEM market requiring fewer channels and demanding powerful features and flexibility of the DT80. With support for SDI-12 sensors, Modbus for SCADA systems and Web enabled features, the DT81 is the answer for any environmental or industrial monitoring project. The DT81 is a robust, stand alone, low power and economical data logger. It’s USB memory stick support, 18 bit resolution and extensive communications capabilities make it a powerful partner.

 
 
 
Versatile Measurement:
Analog and digital channels, high-speed counter inputs, phase encoder input and programmable serial sensor channel allow the DT81 to easily connect to most sensors and data measurement sources. 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. Group sampling, logging, alarm and control tasks within schedules to suit your requirements. Smart sensors, GPS, PLCs and other intelligent devices are supported via a serial sensor port (RS232), with our optional CANgate interface available for CAN bus applications..
Data Storage and Communications:
Store up to 10 million data points in user defined memory, 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, USB, Ethernet and USB memory stick ports. Connect to the DT81 locally, remotely or over the Internet. The web server allows browser access to data and files, FTP provides data to your office over the internet or mobile phone network, without the need for polling or specific host software.
