PConnect for the Palm Handheld
4.5 Transferring Data to Your Desktop Computer
Once data is collected onto your Palm handheld, you can HotSync with your
desktop computer and the data will automatically transfer to the folder you
specified during the initial setup (default = C:\campbellsci\Pconnect\palmname).
The transferred data is saved to (or appended to) a data file on the PC named after
the station from which it was retrieved.
4.6 PConnect Settings
For the PDA to be able to communicate with PakBus devices (CR1000,
CR800/850, CR200, CR3000, CR10XPB, CR510PB, and CR23XPB), it must
be assigned a PakBus address. The default address for the PConnect and
PConnectCE software is 4091.
It is necessary that all devices participating in communication in a PakBus
network be given unique PakBus addresses. Failing to do so could render one
or more devices in the PakBus network unreachable for a period of time. If
some other device is using 4091, and the PakBus address for PConnect needs
to be changed, you can do this by selecting the word Stations in the upper right
of PConnect's main window, and selecting PConnect Settings from the
resulting list.
Campbell Scientific uses the following PakBus addresses for its
software:
NOTE
PConnect/PConnectCE 4091
PC200W 4092
PC400 4093
LoggerNet 4094
4.7 Updating Table Definitions for PakBus Dataloggers
PakBus dataloggers have table definitions stored in internal memory. Table
definitions define the structure of the data tables and the names of the
associated variables. Communication software uses these table definitions to
display and collect the data. If a new program is downloaded to the datalogger
by some means other than PConnect, or if the program is edited in any way,
the table definitions that the software has stored and the actual table definitions
in the datalogger may not match. In most instances, PConnect will
automatically update the table definitions. However, there may be times when
PConnect displays a message asking that the table definitions be updated
manually (or reset).
To manually update the table definitions, highlight the datalogger on the main
Station window and select Edit. From the Station Editing window, select the
Edit Station Parameter title bar, which will reveal a Tools menu, and choose
Reset Table Definitions.
