PConnect for the Palm Handheld
Collect Data
The Collect Data window is used to collect data from the datalogger and store
it to a file on the handheld, which is then transferred to the computer during a
subsequent HotSync operation. The data is stored in binary format on the
handheld and then converted to a comma-separated ASCII format when the file
is transferred to the PC during the synchronization process.
There are three data collection options:
Collect Since Last Time - This will collect only the new data that has been
stored since the last time data was collected using this handheld. If this is a
first data collection attempt, all data will be collected.
Collect All - This will collect all data currently in datalogger memory,
regardless of whether the data has been collected previously.
Collect Last # of Arrays/Records - This will collect only the number of records
or arrays entered into the Arrays/Records to Collect field that appears when the
option is chosen. The maximum number of records or arrays that can be
collected is 9999.
The default option is Collect Since Last Time. To choose another option, press
the arrow to the left of the default option.
If PConnect recognizes that a memory card is installed in the Palm, a field will
also be displayed to choose whether the collected data is stored on the Palm
device or on the card when it is collected.
