How To Calculate Common Mode Rejection Ratio
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-245 Common Mode Rejection Ratio Defined Editor’s update: All information in this application note applies equally to model DI-808 data logger with a built-in Web server. Common mode rejection ratio doesn’t seem at all common. In fact, it sounds rather fancy and complicated. But it’s actually a simple concept. Recall Read More
The Ability of the DI-245 and DI-2008 to Reject Common Mode Voltage
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-245 The ability of the DI-245 and DI-2008 to reject common mode voltage is unmatched in the $75 per channel price range. To demonstrate the ability of the DI-245, where DI-2008 shares the same front-end configuration, to reject common mode (error) voltage, we connected K-type thermocouples to channels 1 and Read More
EL-WIFI-Alert Alarm Indicator
Data Logger > Wireless > EL-WiFi Series The stand-alone EL-WIFI-Alert alarm indicator is an add-on for EL-WIFI series temperature and humidity data loggers. The EL-WIFI-Alert produces an audible and visual alert when an alarm level on any of your EL-WIFI temperature and humidity data loggers (installed on the same wireless network) is breached. Note that Read More
4-20 mA Measurement Resolution
Data Acquisition > 4-20mA Current Loop Don’t overlook a vital component that affects 4-20 mA measurement success: Measurement resolution. Additional Reading: 4-20 mA Shunt Resistor and Current Loop Data Acquisition Products Measurements from sensors that have a 4-20 mA output are very common. Customers always ask how to connect them to a data logger or data acquisition Read More
How To Install Model DI-245 Under Windows XP
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-245 Since our new model DI-245 voltage, millivolt, and thermocouple data acquisition system was released after Microsoft very vocally discontinued support for Windows XP, the instrument is the first in a long while that does not natively support that operating system. We’ve since learned to our chagrin that Microsoft continues to Read More
Introducing the DI-245 Voltage and Thermocouple Data Acquisition System
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-245 DATAQ Instruments is pleased to introduce the all-new DI-245 Voltage and Thermocouple data acquisition system. The DI-245 provides four analog inputs that can be individually configured to measure voltage or thermocouple data. With 12 programmable measurement ranges from ±50V to ±10mV, the DI-245 provides resolution up to 1.2µV. The DI-245 Read More

Users can manage and monitor any number EL-WIFI series instruments remotely, using a web browser on their PC Read More
The new DATAQ Instruments Forum
Data Acquisition > Support Tickets About a year ago DATAQ Instruments rolled out a new forum tied into our support ticket system. The ticket system and forum now use the same login. Recently we closed all new posts to the old forum at support.dataq.com. The old forum can still be browsed, but no new posts Read More
Discontinued Support for Windows XP
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq As you may have heard, Microsoft has discontinued support for Windows XP, effective April 8th, 2014. After a 12-year run, Microsoft will no longer release updates or security patches for the widely embraced operating system. Consequently, DATAQ Instruments will also end support for Windows XP. While we will continue Read More
