Uploading Data to the Host PC

Uploading Data to the Host PC

The PT2000 and TopGun store data records in files in random-access memory (RAM). When finished collecting data in a file, transmit (upload) that file from the portable to the host PC. The number of records that can collected before uploading depends upon the amount of RAM the portable has.

Note: Refer to Appendix D on page 107 for instructions to connect the PT Dock to a PC.

The portable can be connected to the host PC in either a serial configuration or a keyboard wedge configuration. The serial configuration requires a communications program to transfer data to and from the portable. With this configuration, use an external 9-volt power adapter (available from a PSC dealer). With the keyboard wedge configuration, power is drawn from the host PC.

Serial Configuration

Use a PSC 25-pin cable or a PSC 9-pin cable for serial configuration.

Note: Only use cables approved for this application. For a listing of PT2000 cable numbers, consult the PSC Price Book at: http: www.pscnet.com.

Complete the following steps to attach the cable:

1.One of the connectors on the cable has the cable number on it. Plug that connector into the cable input jack on the bottom of the portable.

2.Attach the other end of the cable (with the connector labeled computer) to an available serial port on the PC.
