1. Introduction
Welcome to PConnectCE for Pocket PC Handhelds support software for
Campbell Scientific dataloggers. PConnectCE supports the CR10/10X,
CR500/510, CR23X, 21X, CR7, CR200, CR1000, CR800/850, CR3000,
CR10XPB, CR510PB, and CR23XPB datalogger s.
PConnectCE software allows you to connect your Pocket PC handheld to a
Campbell Scientific datalogger to perform all of the standard datalogger
support functions, including:
• check and set the datalogger clock
• send and receive datalogger programs
• view and edit input locations and labels
• set flags and ports
• collect data
• access the datalogger’s remote keyboard mode through a terminal
interface, and
• view collected data in a tabular display.
PConnectCE stores collected datalogger data in the handheld’s internal
memory. (Expansion memory cards are not supported.) Using the data display
feature, you can view this data while at the site. When the handheld is
synchronized with the desktop computer, this data is moved to a specified data
folder on the PC. New data from each station is appended to any existing data
file on the PC.
The synchronization process also synchronizes datalogger program files
between the PC and handheld device. Datalogger program files and their
associated files copied to the handheld device’s PConnectCE folder will
automatically be transferred to the handheld during the next synchronization
process. Using this process, you can store program files on the handheld
device, and subsequently send them to the datalogger or use them for labels
when viewing measurements (input locations). You can also retrieve programs
from dataloggers to the handheld device, and use the synchronization process
to copy them to the PC. If two different programs—one on the handheld
device and another in PConnectCE’s programs folder on the PC—have the
same name when you synchronize, the program file on the PC will overwrite
the program file on the handheld device.
