then copy or move files to your computer, it treats the card like any
other disk drive, and transfers the files without converting them. You
need to convert these raw receiver files to DAT format files before you
can use them on your office computer.
You can convert receiver data files by using a Windows Explorer
extension which is installed on your computer when you install the
Data Transfer utility.
Note – Although this extension is only available if you have the Data
Transfer utility installed, you do not have to run the Data Transfer utility
to use it.
To convert a .T01 file on your office computer into the DAT format:
1. On your office computer, open Windows Explorer and navigate
to the location of the .T01 file.
2. Right-click the file, and from the menu that appears select
Convert to DAT format:
The DAT File Conversion dialog appears while the file is
converted. When the dialog disappears, the file conversion is
complete.
