Refreshing a File
You can refresh a file (updating the display with the most current
information) in one of two ways:
•Press [F2], Refresh, to refresh the highlighted file.
•From the File Menu, scroll to the Refresh option and press
[ENTER].
The updated information on the highlighted file appears in the
window on the right.
Transferring a File to a PC
To upload a log, meter, screen capture (bitmap) or site file to a
PC:
1. Check that the Communications option (see page 7-15) has
been set to the IrDA protocol.
Note: For Windows NT 4.0, check that the QuickBeam software
(available thr ough the path C:\Pr ogram Files\QuickBeam
Suite) is running, and that the IR beam on the PT878GC-
GC has clear access to the IR sensor connected to the PC
port.
2. Highlight the desired site in the left window of the Drive
Manager.
3. Press [MENU], scroll to the Transfer option, and press
[ENTER].
The screen shows a message indicating that the PT878GC is
searching for an infrared device. (If the scanner finds no device, a
window appears with this message, and asks if you want to try
again.) If it finds a device, it sends another message indicating
that it is uploading the site. (The meter also displays a message if
the upload fails.) When the upload is complete, the meter returns
to the Drive Manager. The PC holds the transferred file in the
QuickBeam (IR) Inbox folder, as shown in Figure 6-13 on the
next page. You can open the file on the PC using an y text editor.
