PCONNECT

The software is supplied on CD-ROM. The connection between the PDA and datalogger is supported by a variety of mechanisms (direct serial connection, RF401-series spread spectrum radio, SC-IRDA Infrared interface, and Bluetooth). Please see the information under the Compatibility tab for details.

PConnect can be used to collect data from the datalogger, and transfer the data to an office PC. Collected data is transferred to the PC during the HotSync process. This process also synchronizes program files between the PDA and PC.

Functions supported by PConnect include the capability to:

• Communicate at baud rates of 38,400 bps (CR1000, CR800, CR850, CR23X, CR3000) and 9,600 bps (all other dataloggers)
• Create unique station files for each datalogger
• Collect data from the datalogger
• Transfer datalogger programs between the datalogger and PDA
• Display real-time and historical data. Real-time data is updated every two seconds
• Graph one element from any array
• Set datalogger flags, ports, and clock
• Access the datalogger terminal mode
• Use memory expansion cards to augment the PDA's memory
