Stand-Alone Data Acquisition at up to 160,000 Samples/Second
The 32GB USB flash drives included with all DI-2000/4000 series data loggers (excluding the DI-2008) allow for stand-alone sample rates up to 10K S/s (10,000 samples per second)*. Sampling faster than 10K S/s (throughput) to the included USB flash drive typically results in an intermittent RED ‘Status’ LED, and generates several individual data files on Read More
Open a File and Record Data in WinDaq
It has come to our attention that some WinDaq users are having trouble recording data. Upon choosing ‘Record’ from the ‘File’ pull-down menu, they’re never prompted for a file name or file size/record time. While we haven’t been able to duplicate this behavior here at DATAQ as of yet, we do have a workaround for Read More
Event, State, Count Data Logging – Dry vs. Wet Contacts
In the world of data acquisition, the ability to count events, determining how often those events occurred and when, is a fairly common request. Event, State and Count data loggers like the DI-2160 allow you to do just that. Designed specifically for this purpose, event, state and count data loggers do not acquire signal levels Read More

DATAQ Instruments is helping to shape the future of sensor development and data acquisition. Join us at booth 1045, June 24-26 and meet some of our knowledgeable and friendly design engineers. One of the largest sensor and electronics trade shows in the United States, the three-day event allows you to mingle with engineers, developers and Read More
DI-4×08-E vs. DI-4×08-M: What’s the Difference?
What’s the difference between the DI-4×08-E and the DI-4×08-M? At first glance, they appear to be different data loggers all together. In reality, they’re built on the same physical platform. Besides the obvious difference (a metal enclosure vs. a plastic one), there are some important distinctions to be made. The Enclosures Ah yes, the enclosures. Read More
How to Insert Remote ‘Event Markers’ in WinDaq
Often, when acquiring data for later analysis, an event occurs that directly impacts the information being collected. In this post, we’ll show you how to insert “event markers” in a file. Event markers allowing you to mark the instant (date/time) at which a particular event occurred. Enabling the Digital Channel To insert event marks, you’ll Read More
How to Acquire Pressure Data Using a 4-20mA Pressure Transmitter
As mentioned in an earlier post, acquiring pressure data is a common and important data acquisition application. Whether you’re dealing with air, fuel or water, pressure data can be an invaluable decision-making resource. In this application note, we’ll demonstrate the ease with which you can acquire pressure data using a 0-100 psig 4-20 mA pressure Read More
