Uploading from TriCoder to your Computer
You can upload programs, data, voice and cloned setup information to your computer from your TriCoder by either the serial port or
the USB port.
Serial Uploading
If you are uploading your TriCoder from the Serial port, make sure your port settings are correct before you begin your upload. It is
usually a good idea to check your port settings and test in Non-Portable mode before uploading information from your TriCoder.
Make sure your TriCoder is connected and communicating.
Select the type of file you will be uploading - Data file (collected data), a Program or a TriCoder Clone file (complete setup
information including setup parameters and programs).
Select the name for your file. We suggest using different file extensions for different types of files, for example, .dat for data
files, .pgm for program files and .cln for clone files.
Data Files
1. Select Data File as the file type, then enter the name of the file (we recommend the extension .dat for data files)
2. Click the Start button in the TriCoder Manager in the Hardware Utilities.
3. At the Main Menu on the TriCoder, press 2
4. When the data is finished uploading, the Hardware Utilities will let you know it is finished. The TriCoder will display the
message
END OF TRANSMIT
DEL FILE Y/N?_
We suggest before you delete the data file from the TriCoder that you open the data file in Notepad to confirm the upload. If all is
correct, you can press YES to delete the data file from the TriCoder. If your upload is not correct, press NO and try your upload again.

for program files)
