PConnectCE for the Pocket PC Handhelds

Program files cannot be retrieved from CR200 Series
dataloggers.

NOTE

First, select the desired option, and then touch the Browse button to the right of
the File field to choose the file to be sent or to enter a name for the retrieved
file. After the File field is completed, press the Send (or Retrieve) button.

Program files (*.DLD, *.FSL, *.BIN, or *.CR*) are copied to the PDA by
placing the file or files in the handheld device's Working Directory folder on
the PC (by default, this is C:\campbellsci\PConnectCE\PDAname). The next
time you HotSync with the handheld, the file(s) will be copied.

If you retrieve a program file from the datalogger, the next time you HotSync
with the handheld, the file will be uploaded to the Working Directory for the
device.

Program Transfer Considerations for CR200 Series Dataloggers

The CR200 Series datalogger is unique in that it does not have an on-board
program compiler like other CSI dataloggers. This means that the CRBasic file
(*.CR2) must be compiled on a computer first, and then the compiled binary
file (*.BIN) must be sent to the datalogger using PConnectCE.

It is very important that the compiler used to generate the *.BIN file match the
operating system version in the datalogger. If a *.BIN file is sent to the
datalogger and the compiled version does not match the current OS,
PConnectCE will display a message suggesting that you do not proceed with
the program download.

If you receive this message, check the operating system version in the CR200
Series and recompile the program in CRBasic using the appropriate compiler.
The most recent compiler can be downloaded from our web site. If you
continue to experience problems, contact Campbell Scientific.
