PConnect for the Palm Handheld
Transfer Program
Switch to the Transfer Program window to send a new program file to the
datalogger, or to retrieve the program file that is currently running in the
datalogger.
Program files cannot be retrieved from CR200 Series
dataloggers. NOTE
To send a program to the datalogger, press the arrow beside the program file
name adjacent to the Send button, and then press the Send button. (Note that
if no file has been sent or associated with the datalogger, this field may read
"none".) To retrieve a program from the datalogger, enter a name into the field
adjacent to the Retrieve button, and then press the Retrieve button.
Program files (*.DLD, *.FSL, *.BIN, or *.CR*) are copied to the Palm device
by placing the file or files in the handheld device's Working Directory folder
on the PC (by default, this is C:\campbellsci\PConnect\Palmname). The next
time you HotSync with the handheld, the file(s) will be copied.
If you retrieve a program file from the datalogger, the next time you HotSync
with the handheld, the file will be uploaded to the Working Directory for the
device.
Program Transfer Considerations for CR200 Series Dataloggers
The CR200 Series datalogger is unique in that it does not have an on-board
program compiler like other CSI dataloggers. This means that the CRBasic
file (*.CR2) must be compiled on a computer first, and then the compiled
binary file (*.BIN) must be sent to the datalogger using PConnect.
It is very important that the compiler used to generate the *.BIN file match the
operating system version in the datalogger. If a *.BIN file is sent to the
datalogger and the compiled version does not match the current OS, PConnect
will display a message suggesting that you do not proceed with the program
download.
If you receive this message, check the operating system version in the CR200
Series and recompile the program in CRBasic using the appropriate compiler.
The most recent compiler can be downloaded from our web site. If you
continue to experience problems, contact Campbell Scientific.
