Hardware / General information

Power Supply / Slide Switch

When the data converter is connected to at least one controller (DL), the slide switch on the

converter must be in the "DL" position (left)!! Otherwise, problems with data logging can

occur. The data converter receives the power it requires from the controller, regardless of

whether it is connected to a PC or not.

Bus load (DL-bus) = 24%

If the data converter is not connected to any controller, the slide switch for communication

with the PC must be in the "USB" position (to the right), so that the converter is supplied

with power via the USB connector.

The recorded data is saved to internal memory every hour, where it is retained even when no

power is present. This means that a power loss will result in a maximum loss of the last hour

of data.

Data line

Every UVR controller has a data line output DL (with the EEG30, TFM66 D0) that, together

with the (sensor) ground conductor, forms a two-conductor cable. The data converter has 2

data line inputs for simultaneously recording measured values from up to two controllers.

Connection 1 controller:

Controller

D-LOGG

Connection 2 controllers:

Controller 1

D-LOGG

Controller 2

Any cable with a cross section of 0.75 mm² can be used for the data link (e.g. twin-strand)

having a max. length of 30 m. For longer cables, we recommend the use of shielded cable. If

the data from two controllers is to be acquired by the data converter, then separate shielded

cables must be used to provide protection against crosstalk errors. The data conductors must

never be in the same cable as the CAN bus.

NOTE:

With the UVR1611 controller, output 14 (DL) can be used as both a data connection and

a control connection. For data logging, output 14 must therefore always be configured as

data line via the "Outputs" menu.

UVR1611 –Controllers from version A2.16 additionally allow network input variables to

be logged (NETW.IP.=>DL.: yes), which is then handled by the D-LOGG as a second vir-

tual UVR1611. Logging of network variables is thus not possible when two physical con-

trollers are connected to the data converter.

The D-LOGG requires more operating current than the EEG30 and TFM66 devices can

supply. When setting up a data connection between an EEG30 or TFM66 and the D-

LOGG data converter, an additional 1 kOhm resistor must be installed between the D0

and the Plus power supply terminal of the EEG30 or TFM66.

Logged data is lost when the number of data connections or the controller type is

changed!

USB Interface

The USB interface (slide switch in the "DL" position) does not represent an electrical connec-

tion between the data converter and the PC. For reasons of safety, it is electrically isolated

via optocouplers.

In the "USB" position, the slide switch creates an electrical connection to provide power for

the data converter from the PC. For this reason, the slide switch may only be set to the

"USB" position when no connection to a controller exists.

For communication between the PC and D-LOGG, a special driver is also required that cre-

ates a virtual COM interface in the PC, which is then used by the Winsol or Memory Man-

ager programs to access the data converter. See also the chapter "USB driver".

Software

Installation

The latest versions of the software are available for downloading at http://www.ta.co.at and

they overwrite the existing software without losing any previously stored data. However, it is

recommended to uninstall the existing versions of the software before installing new versions.

This only then removes the application and all data created with the application is retained.

CAUTION: Newer software versions are not always compatible with the version of the con-

verter operating system. The homepage provides information on this. It may be necessary to

also upgrade the data converter operating system (see "Memory Manager").

Uninstalling

The programs can be uninstalled using the <add/remove programs> function in the Windows

control panel.

Windows XP: … Control Panel Software (add or remove programs)

Windows Vista, 7: … Control Panel Programs and Functions

Windows 8: Move the mouse pointer into the left, bottom corner Right mouse button 

Programs and Features

USB driver

The USB driver is required for USB communication between the PC and D-LOGG and it cre-

ates a virtual COM port on the PC for this purpose.

The driver must be installed on the PC for this (see "Installation") and is automatically load-

ed when a D-LOGG is connected to the PC.

The required drivers can be installed from the homepage http://www.ta.co.at or also via Win-

dows Update.

Installation

When a D-LOGG is connected to the PC with a USB cable, the PC automatically recognises

a new hardware component and automatically starts the "Hardware-Assistant" (Hardware

Wizard) if a driver has not yet been installed for this device.

If an Internet connection is available, Windows connects automatically to the Windows Up-

date website to install a suitable driver. In this case no further steps are necessary.

If an Internet connection is not available, or no suitable driver has been found or if Windows

is configured to prevent the automatic installation of drivers, the required drivers can be man-

ually installed.

If the Wizard does not start automatically, the installation can also be manually started. When

the device is connected to the PC but the driver has not been installed, it is displayed in the

Windows device Manager) with an exclamation mark in one of the <other devices>, <Ports

(COM and LPT)> or <USB Controller> lists. The driver installation can be manually started

from here.

For more detailed information please see the USB-drivers manual under http://www.ta.co.at.

Configuring the virtual COM port

Memory Manager supports COM ports COM1 –COM6. If the virtual COM port that has been

allocated to the driver during installation is not supported by Memory Manager, the driver

can be manually allocated to another, still available port. For a PC with an internal modem, it

should be noted that COM3 is usually used for this modem.

The D-LOGG must be connected to the PC in order to configure the virtual COM port in the

Windows Device Manager.

Winsol

Winsol (from version 2.03)

The Winsol program is used for the acquisition and evaluation of measured values recorded

by the data logger.

To be able to capture the data from several systems or data loggers, Winsol enables the

creation and management of "Customers".

General toolbar

Language

A number of languages are available for selection. Select menu "Optionen \ Sprache" (Op-

tions\Language) and click on the desired language. Winsol must be restarted for the lan-

guage choice to come into effect.

Basic settings

The Winsol data path can be changed in the menu "Options \ Basic settings...". The

standard setting is the Winsol installation path (e.g. C:\Programs\Technische Alterna-

tive\Winsol). We recommend creating a data path outside the program folder. Already exist-

ing data must be manually copied into the new data path, before the setting is changed in

Winsol and new data read in from the logger!

Procedure for transfer of existing data into a new data path:

1. Create new data path (e.g. using Windows Explorer).

2. Copy the existing files and folders from the existing data path (e.g. installation path

"C:\Programs\Technische Alternative\Winsol\") in to the new path.

3. In the Winsol basic settings, set the new path as a data path.

face. Information about the connected logger is displayed. "Apply"

is used to specify the logger type in Setup.

If the COM port is not known, "Find logger" is

used to search all the COM interfaces of the

computer for connected loggers.

The COM port and type of the logger found

are displayed. "Apply" is used to set the high-

lighted logger type in setup.

Clearing the data store

2 options are available:

automatically After reading out of the memory, it is automatically deleted (recommended).

manually After reading out of the memory, a query is displayed asking whether the

memory should be deleted.

It is recommended that the logger data store is deleted after successful read-

ing out.
