User’s Manual Data Transfer Manager and Data Pipes
7. Data Transfer Manager and Data
Pipes
Data Transfer Manager is a special tool for creating pipes. A pipe is a file
or message that has been specially prepared for transmission over an
RFCOMM or L2CAP channel. Pipes are necessary with these protocols
because RFCOMM and L2CAP only transfer raw data. Pipes are set up to
designate the source of the raw data -- either a file or text entered by the user.
Data Transfer Manager is designed to work in conjunction with Command
Generator and Script Manager. Use Data Transfer Manager to prepare data,
then use Command Generator or Script Manager to transfer it.
Data Transfer Manager is also used to view any data that is being received
by Merlin's Wand over L2CAP or RFCOMM channels. If data is being
received, the Data Transfer Manager window will automatically create a
Receive Pipe and display the arriving data.
Data Transfer Manager contains the following elements:
Data Transmit page -- The Data Transmit page is used to create pipes.
Pipes can be created from files or text. For more information on data
transmit pipes, see Section 7.1, “Creating Data Pipes,” on page 67 and
Section 7.2, “Using Data Pipes,” on page 68.
Data Receive page -- The Data Receive page is used to view data that has
been received by Merlin's Wand. For more information, see Section 7.3,
“Receive Pipes,” on page 70.
