104 Transport® Model PT878 Portable Liquid Flowmeter User’s Manual
5.6.1 Transferring a File to a PC
To upload a log, meter, bitmap or site file to a PC:
1. Check that the Communications option on the PT878 (see page 123)
has been set to the IrDA protocol, and that the IR beam on the PT878
has clear access to the IR sensor connected to the PC port.
Note: For Windows NT4.0, check that the QuickBeam software (available
through the path C:\Program Files\QuickBeam Suite) is running.
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 PT878 is searching for an
infrared device. (If the scanner spots 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
C:\IR_Inbox folder (C:\My Received Files for Windows 98, or Desktop for
Windows 2000), as shown in Figure 68 below. You can open the file on the
PC using any text editor.
