The myDCI portal is where you can register your equipment, activate warranties, and track software updates.

You can also purchase, manage, and assign your DigiTrak subscriptions to equipment to gain additional features.

Some features require that you are logged into a DCI App with a current subscription.

  • In the TeraTrak R1 App, you need a current subscription for your R1 to create and share complete bore plans and to exceed the 150-foot limit between waypoints. For more information, go to the TeraTrak R1 manual.
  • In the DigiTrak LWD (Log While Drilling) App, you need a personal myDCI account and a current subscription for the locator to store and retrieve logs and to create PDF reports. For more information, go to the DataLog and DigiTrak LWD manual.
