PALMTOP USER
Most of the functionality of the LogChart II is available for the PDA
Palm running the LogChart PalmOS software.
The program is delivered with the logger. It is installed in the Palmtop
through a HotSync process (data synchronization between a Palmtop
and a PC).
The user needs the Palm Desktop and the LogChart II software
installed in his machine. It is recommended to execute the Palm HotSync
before installing the LogChart PalmOS.
To install the software, insert the disk in the driver, click on Start and
Execute in the windows task bar. Type d:\LCP_Setup, where d: is
the disk driver unit. Press “OK”. The installation wizard will guide you
through the installation process.
Executing a new HotSync will install the LogChart PalmOs software
in the Palm. The LogChart icon will be added to the Palm home
screen.
Starting the LogChart PalmOS application will display the Recorded
Data screen on the PDA. Starting the LogChart PalmOS application
will display the Recorded Data screen on the Palm where from it is
possible to access the logger to change settings and offload data, as
well as to access recorded data.
