PConnect for the Palm Handheld
When the handheld is synchronized with the PC and the data file is transferred,
the data will be appended to any station_name.dat data file that exists with the
same name. After the file is transferred, the file is deleted from the handheld.
If the datalogger type you selected was a CR510PB, CR10XPB, CR23XPB,
CR1000, CR800/850, CR3000, or a CR200 Series datalogger, you will see a
pick list at the top of the Data Collection window which allows you to select
the table(s) from which data should be collected. You can collect data from
All Tables or from a single table. Data from each table will be stored on the
Palm in a separate file.
Set Clock
The datalogger's clock can be set to that of the handheld's by switching to the
Set Clock window and touching the Set Clock button. Note that the two
clocks may not match exactly, since there will always be some delay between
when the command is sent and when it is received by the datalogger.
Campbell Scientific typically advises against frequent routine setting of the
datalogger's clock. In most instances, the datalogger's clock will be much
more accurate than the handheld's. Setting the clock could result in data with
duplicate or missing timestamps, especially if data is being saved in final
storage fairly quickly. For instance, assume you are storing 1 minute data. If
the datalogger's clock reaches 11:45 and it stores data for that period, and then
you set the clock using a handheld whose internal clock reads 11:44, you will
end up with two different arrays of data with a timestamp of 11:45.
