ComDebug Settings for a Datataker DT80 data logger

Return to Serial Driver Settings Overview

Windmill software lets you continually log data from a Datataker DT80 data logger, and other devices, connected to the PC. All data is time-stamped and can be imported into Excel either during or after data collection. Our Windmill with the COMIML software is currently reduced from £145 to £50.

The Datataker uses a null-modem (cross-over) RS232 cable.

You need to tell ComDebug what settings your Datataker DT80 is using. These are the Datataker's default settings.

Data Format

Set the Datataker to return data in Fixed Format mode. How the data is returned depends on the commands you have sent to the Datataker.

Instrument Timing

These settings tell Windmill to automatically read the Datataker every 200 ms, and that this data should be considered valid for 500 ms. The actual timings used will depend upon your application.
