PConnectCE for the Pocket PC Handhelds

4.5 Transferring Data to Your Desktop Computer

Once data is collected onto your handheld, you can synchronize with your
desktop computer and the data will automatically transfer to the folder you
specified during the initial setup. The transferred data is saved to (or appended
to) the data file on the PC named after the station from which it was
retrieved. After the data file is transferred to the PC, it is deleted from the
PDA. Note that any non-program or data files, such a JPG, Cal, or other files
retrieved from the datalogger are not transferred during the hot sync process.
They must be copied to the computer manually.

4.6 PConnectCE Settings

For the PDA to be able to communicate with PakBus devices (CR1000,
CR800/850, CR3000, CR200, CR10XPB, CR510PB, and CR23XPB), it must
be assigned a PakBus address. The default address for the PConnect and
PConnectCE software is 4091.

It is necessary that all devices participating in communication in a PakBus
network be given unique PakBus addresses. Failing to do so could render one
or more devices in the PakBus network unreachable for a period of time. If
some other device is using 4091, and the PakBus address for PConnectCE
needs to be changed, you can do this by selecting Edit from the bottom of
PConnectCE’s main window, and selecting PConnectCE Settings from the
resulting list.
