Why Does Dasylab 7 Stop Taking Data During Rapid Temperature Drops?

[wxrocks]

Hello --

I am having a problem where Dasylab (Version 7) is freezing at a data spike. THis has happened before when some of my instruments had bad wiring which caused a spike in the readings and Dasylab stopped taking data. This time, I am discharging a high pressure tank quickly and taking a temperature reading that drops very quickly. Dasylab stops updating a few seconds into the experiment. At steady state (little to no temp change) I have run the data for over an hour with no stoppage. It only occurs during the temp drop.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Eric

Hello Eric,

Thank you for reaching out about this issue with Dasylab freezing during a data spike. I understand how frustrating it can be when equipment malfunctions during experiments.

Based on your description, it seems like the problem could be related to the sudden temperature drop you are experiencing during your experiment. This could potentially be causing a spike in the readings, similar to what happened with the bad wiring in your previous experience. I would suggest checking the wiring and connections for any potential issues that could be causing this spike.

Additionally, it may be helpful to adjust the settings in Dasylab to account for these sudden changes in temperature. This could involve setting a limit for the data spike or adjusting the sampling rate to better capture the rapid temperature drop.

If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with the manufacturer of the equipment or reach out to a technical support team for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or offer a software update that could help with this issue.

I hope this helps and that you are able to successfully complete your experiment without any further interruptions. Best of luck to you!
