5.4Managing Data from the PDA to the PC
AccuScan Palm comes with a HotSync conduit allowing easy transfer of collected data via the standard Palm Desktop HotSync process. This section outlines all of the features available for PC processing.
5.4.1How Data Is Sent to the PC
AccuScan Palm transfers all session data to the PC via the standard HotSync™ process. The
You can see the session number of any given session via the AccuScan Palm Main Screen or in the Session Settings dialog screen on the PDA. These numbers typically follow the order in which each session was created but this is not always the case. It is important to note what these session numbers are when looking for your data. The filename for each session is Sxx_data.txt where xx = the session number for that session.
For example, if you have 2 sessions defined on the PDA, the first session listed would generate a file named S01_data.txt and the second defined file generates a file named S02_data.txt.
5.4.2Viewing Data Files on the PC
Data files sent to the PC can be quickly viewed by selecting Programs – AccuScan Palm – Browse Data and then selecting the Users data you wish to view.
