Stand alone mode file creation
I'm using stand alone mode on a 4108. The problem i have is that it is creating multiple files on the thumb drive. And when I say multiple I mean once or twice a minute. I'm ending up with thousands of files per day all with just a few samples in each.
DA-1110 File Full messages
New here so go easy :) We have a DA-1110 unit that has started displaying file fill errors when the file is small but have noticed that it seems to be recording hundreds, if not thousands, of event markers. At the moment we cant see anything obvious.
Mostly curious: why S/R 2000 Hz for 1 channel, 200 Hz for two or more on the DI-2008
I was a bit disappointed to learn that -- although you can get a sampling rate of 2000 Hz for one channel -- as soon as you go to two channels it drops to 200 Hz. Is there a good explanation for why that is? More importantly: if you use one of the software
DI-2008 USB doesn't show in hardware manager, buzz then chimes?
Hello. My DI-2008 when i plug it into the mac (I am using VMware to run the DATAQ) via USB, i usually get a chime, today i get a buzz, then the chime and the hardware manager doesn't recognize the device. Windows 10 shows it as a bulk device VMware knows about it, is set to allow it when detected I think i had to do something on the mac side (privacy) when i first got it, but i cannot remember the critical step, and see nothing in the privacy settings. It has worked before... thanks for any help.

Configuring the DI-1110 Digital Ports as Switches
All of the descriptive information about the DI-1110 says that all seven of the digital ports can be configured as switches, giving advice on maximum voltage and current, but despite considerable searching in Help, the manual and the available documentation, I cannot find out how this is done. I also noodled around in Setup mode and didn't find it. How is this accomplished?

Real time
Hi! I'm an user of DI 718 Datalogger. We would like to analyze in real time the temperature data acquired by DI-178B datalogger (Sample rate 100Hz/channel) without using Windaq program. Filling a database directly... or export to real time to Excel, .csv or similar format. It is possible somehow? We need to process data extremely fast and in automated way. In case our device is not capable but there is one that can with a similar or higher sample rate and allows the processing of data online please
DI-2108 clock time is off?
I have a simple distance transducer set up with the DI-2108 to measure actuator stroke vs time. When recording data the displayed/recorded data shows quicker than actual rate. (ie. physical actuator stroke time = 5 seconds with stopwatch, WinDaq shows time for stroke =3-4 seconds). Any ideas?

Rate Input time delay on DI-155
I am trying to use the Rate Input to record varying RPM but it appears to have an averaging time constant delay of approx 0.75 sec before it provides a steady state value after an acceleration or deceleration. Is there any way to improve upon this? I have tried varying the sample rate to no avail.
Power for sensors DI-245
is there some way that I can tap into the 5V power coming into the Datalogger (DI-245) through the miniUSB cable? I have 2 very low power sensors that need a 5V supply and ground, I would like to not add another USB cable just to provide 2W of power to 2 sensors.
Saving Data to External Drive
I'm using the DI-4108 model and need to record data onto an external drive. The problem is that all the data gets split up into multiple files instead of one single file on the drive.
DI-1120 VS DI-2108-P
I have a home built siesmometer. Its wideband. 0.01hz-40hz.. Ultra low frequencies are a really hard engineering issue because of 1/f noise and all sorts of weirdness.. Ive been using a DI-1120 since it came out years back. I just swapped to a 2108-P. The difference has been truly remarkable in the frequency band i am interested in. In fact its been shocking. The difference is not the 14bit vs 16bit. Its the far lower 1/f noise below 10hz down to 0.01hz. Where I once just had noise, signals have
