Find out more about our pre-installed software, firmware, cloud solutions, and drivers, as well as access to our downloads.
Our dEX platform comes pre-installed on every logger in the DT80 range.
dEX® 2.0 Logger software
What is dEX® 2.0?
dEX 2.0 is a simplified yet powerful software that allows you to configure and program your DT80 series data loggers. This configuration-based software allows you to configure the hardware and visualisation data and also debug your application on all DT80 series of loggers (including DT82 and DT85 series).
Core enhancements
- A single, centralised page for accessing and managing multiple registered loggers on the network
- Interoperability: Cross platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS)
- Integration with existing configuration
- Template creation: Allows you to distribute configuration to multiple loggers
- Improved mimics for data visualization from single or multiple loggers
- Hardware simulation
Hardware support
Hardware support is available for the DT80 series 3 and 4.

DataTaker Live features
- Customised solution
- Easy Set up
- Data logging and monitoring from your PC, smart phone, or tablet
- Affordable
- Service subscription allows unlimited users
Monitor—Gain real-time remote access to measurements from anywhere at any time and allowing configuration changes for dataTaker loggers from your computing devices.
Store & Share—Synchronize and save data to your personal cloud account. dataTaker Live dashboard lets you collaborate and share data.
Collect—Automatic data uploading from sensors, loggers, or Industrial gateways to your personal cloud service account.
Analyze—Data analysis with standard and custom scripts.
Real-time and historical data monitoring
The DataTaker Live dashboard displays real-time sensor measurements, calculations, and diagnostic information using a custom dashboard.
Alarms map
DataTaker Live raises alarms to alert users through the interface using color coding when an abnormal condition or problem is detected.
Firmware and release notes
Please read the following notes prior to downloading firmware.
- USB flash drive firmware—To use the USB Flash Drive version of the firmware you must extract all files from zip archive onto your FAT/FAT32 formatted USB stick before inserting into your logger, otherwise the firmware upgrade will not commence.
- Modem firmware—These files allow you to update the modem firmware inside the DT8xM logger models. Before downloading, please read the modem upgrade instructions very carefully to see whether you need to update and to determine which update version is correct for your model.
- USB driver—This driver allows you to access the dEX web interface on your DT80 Range Series 2 data logger using a USB connection. Requires Windows XP or later (32 or 64 bit).

Release notes and instructions
dataTaker® LabVIEW Driver
The dataTaker LabVIEW Driver is a comprehensive library of VIs that allows the dataTaker range of data loggers to be configured and queried from LabVIEW.
Features:
- Follows standard LabVIEW conventions
- Customisable code within the driver
- Extensive examples
- Integrated documentation
- Configure and/or acquire data via serial or Ethernet
- Allows flexible solutions to be developed
Use the driver VIs to take care of all the communications and data formatting of the dataTaker data loggers, allowing you to concentrate on your application rather than how to interface to the data logger.
With flexible, universal analog, digital, and serial inputs, the dataTaker hardware can be used for real-time data acquisition, in addition to being perfect for applications requiring stand-alone operation in remote or distributed locations with limited power supply.
- Documentation—A comprehensive help file is available, with chapters on getting started, dataTaker concepts, and documentation on each of the VIs, linked to each LabVIEW VI used.
- LabVIEW Environment—The dataTaker LabVIEW driver follows standard LabVIEW conventions so users familiar with the LabVIEW programming environment can focus on using the DataTaker hardware.
- Examples—There are a number of examples throughout the driver, demonstrating different ways to use the dataTaker data loggers.
DT8x data loggers
The dataTaker DT8x driver for LabVIEW has been written to interface with the DT80 data loggers. Download the driver, and extract the zip file to the relevant user.lib directory in the LabVIEW directory.
DT800 and DT5xx data loggers
The DataTaker Instrument driver for LabVIEW has been written to interface to the DT800 data loggers and the DT5xx range. Download the driver and extract the zip file to the relevant user.lib directory in the LabVIEW directory.
