Campbell Scientific PConnectCE Software for Pocket PC PDAs - Manual (Page 8)

PConnectCE for the Pocket PC Handhelds
PConnectCE was developed as a field tool to collect data from one datalogger
at a time over a direct serial connection (or a connection that mimics a serial
connection). It is not intended for use via phone modem or in a distributed
PakBus network. PConnectCE does not support data collection from Campbell
Scientific’s Storage Modules or Card Storage Modules.

NOTES
There is a difference in Pocket PC and Handheld PC.
PConnectCE is not compatible with devices running the
Handheld PC operating system.
The PDA must be capable of serial communication, and a PDA
to 9-pin female serial cable must be available to connect directly
to the datalogger. Some PDAs are not capable of serial
communication. Alternately you can communicate via IR using
an SC-IRDA purchased from CSI or via Bluetooth using a third
party Bluetooth to serial port adapter.
