Browser Requirements
An Adobe Flash plug-in is available for most popular web browsers, including:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7 or later
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Google Chrome
Once the plug-in is installed (which, as described above, is normally an automatic process), any of these browsers can
be used to access the DT80 Web Interface.
Note1: JavaScript needs to be enabled in the browser options (this is normally the default).
Note2: When connecting to dEX please be aware of the dEX version number. If it is not the correct version or if you are unsure if there
has been any changes you may want to clear your browser cache before reloading dEX to ensure you have the latest version installed
on your logger.

About Configurations
The dEX configuration builder is used to graphically define the DT80 configuration. A configuration comprises:
• a complete set of DT80 profile settings (see Profile Settings (P264)). These are set using graphical controls in
the configuration builder, then sent to the logger as a block of
PROFILE commands
• a DT80 job (see Jobs (P61)), which will always be named
CONFIG. This job consists of schedule and channel
definitions, which again are set using graphical controls, plus any manually entered DT80 commands that may
be required. As with any DT80 job, this dEX generated job is enclosed by BEGIN and END commands
The configuration builder stores configurations in XML files. The current configuration is stored on the logger, while any
number of other configurations can be stored in .dEX files on the host computer. See Managing Configurations(P143) for
more details.
Using the Configuration Builder
When the dEX configuration builder is started, the current state of the logger will be automatically loaded and displayed.
That is:
• the current values for all profile settings are read and used to initialise the global settings pages
• the current configuration XML file is retrieved from the logger and opened, which will cause all defined
schedules and channels to be displayed
Note: The configuration builder can only retrieve configurations that it has created. It will not be able to display the current state if the
logger has been programmed manually using textual commands. If this is the case then a warning will be displayed and a blank
configuration will be loaded.
