Studying a Sample Program

The easiest way to find out how a portable program works is to study an exist-
ing one. PPG comes with four sample program files. This tutorial looks at the

upload data with it.

Complete the following steps to see how a sample program works:

1. If PPG is not already started on your PC, from the Windows

Start
