PConnect for the Palm Handheld

Select the type of datalogger to which you will be connecting and tap OK. The
Edit Stations Parameter window will appear:

From this window you can change the station Name, associate a Program,
change the Datalogger model, enter a Security Code, and select the mode of
Communication.

The Station name can be any name up to 8 characters. It must contain alpha

The following Microsoft reserved words cannot be used as
station names: AUX, CON, NUL, PRN, LPT1-9, or COM1-9.
The maximum number of stations that can be added is 100.

the Measurements window. (Note that only DLD files created with Edlog
version 2.0 and greater will have these labels stored in the DLD.) If a program
is already running in the datalogger and you have a copy of the DLD on the
handheld, you can associate the program with the station. To select the file,
press the downward pointing arrow, and choose a file. When you download a
new program to the datalogger using PConnect, you will be asked if you want
the label descriptions to be changed to reflect the new program.
