Guide to Loading Serial Data
❏ Before you load data into the FieldBook, you must set the FieldBook up to receive

information. Refer to Section 5, Communications, for details.

❏ You must create a data file in the FieldBook before you can load the data.
❏ The input file must conform to one of the following formats:

- Column leader length and data format match the format of the destination file exactly
- Data fields are formatted to match destination file and are separated by commas;
null fields may be included

❏ Column prompts or headings cannot be included in the source file.
❏ The end-of-line may be denoted by a carriage return or an input line terminator.
❏ The line length in the input file may exceed the maximum input line length, but the

FieldBook ignores any characters in the transmitted lines which exceed the value set as the
maximum line length.
