PConnect for the Palm Handheld

After you have installed the software on your PC, follow these steps to install
PConnect on your Palm device:

• HotSync

• On the Palm, find the PConnect icon and start the software

• Close PConnect (i.e., return to the main Palm window)

• HotSync a second time

You must HotSync twice—first to transfer the PConnect program, and second
to create the working subdirectory (for data and DLD files) for that device in
the working directory (see above) on your PC. If you do not follow the
HotSync sequence as noted above, you may receive errors when trying to open
PConnect. In this instance, completely remove the software from the Palm
device and reinstall it.

If you are updating from an earlier version of PConnect, simply run the
installation on the PC from the PConnect CD and then HotSync. Data will be
preserved and moved to the PC and the PConnect program will be updated on
the Palm handheld.

If you are installing the PConnect 3.4 patch, a version of
PConnect 3.X must already be installed on the Palm for the patch
to be successful. If you do not have Version 3.0 or greater,
contact a Campbell Scientific Applications Engineer for
information on purchasing an upgrade for your software.

NOTE

After installation, you may change the folders for the data and program files.
Click the HotSync icon on your system tool tray, choose Custom, then select
PConnect and click Change, and then enter a new path for the data and
program files. Refer to the steps below:
