any key to clear the message and the flashing LED.

DT80 restarted
Power loss
The DT80 lost power, both external and the internal battery. This message may also be displayed if
the hardware reset button (accessed using a paper clip) is pressed.
DT80 restarted
Safe mode
A "triple-push" reset was performed (by pressing the hardware reset button three times within 10s),
which temporarily restores factory settings
DT80 restarted
SW exception
This indicates a possible problem with the DT80 firmware. Contact dataTaker Technical Support if
you see this message.
DT80 restarted
All mem cleared
The DT80 lost power, and all internal RAM has been cleared, probably due to the internal Lithium
memory backup battery being flat. Programs and logged data will not be affected but you will need to
reset the DT80's time/date.
Logging Suspended
If data for one or more schedules cannot be logged for some reason then the DT80 will continue to run the job but it will
flash the Attn LED and display a message such as the following. Pressing a key will clear the message from the display,
but the Attn LED will keep flashing until space is made available (e.g. by deleting data or inserting a USB device)

Comments
Cannot log
Data full
One or more schedules have been set to "no-overwrite" mode (NOV schedule option),
and the allocated space is now full
Cannot log
No USB device
The "A:" schedule option (log directly to USB device) has been specified, but no USB
device is inserted.
User Control
You can also turn the Attn LED on or off using the SATTN (Set Attention) and CATTN (Clear Attention) commands.
Alternatively, the
1WARN channel type (which works in the same way as a digital output channel) may be used.
For example:
RA1S ALARM1(3TT>500)"Meltdown"{SATTN}
will cause the LED to come on and stay on if the alarm is triggered, and
RA1S 1CV=(1CV+1)%10 IF(1CV==0){1WARN(R,200)=1}
will give a 200ms flash every tenth time the schedule is scanned.
