Chapter 7. Logging Data
144 Transport® Model PT878 Portable Liquid Flowmeter User’s Manual
7.3.7 Printing a Log (cont.)
The PT878 shows a message indicating that its infrared sensor is looking for
a printer. (If the sensor spots no printer, a window appears with this
message. If it spots two printers within its range, it asks you to select the
desired device.) If successful, the PT878 returns to the Log Manager, while
the printer prints out the log.
7.3.8 Transferring a Log to a PC
To upload a log to a PC:
1. Check that the Communications option (see Appendix F) 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 NT 4.0, check that the QuickBeam software (available
through the path C:\Program Files\QuickBeam Suite) is running.
2. Highlight the desired log in the left window of the Log 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 sensor 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 log. (The meter also
displays a message if the upload fails.) When the upload is complete, the
meter returns to the Site Manager. The PC holds the transferred log in a
C\Ir_Inbox folder (C:\Ir_Inbox for Windows NT, C:\My Received Files for
Windows 98, or Desktop for Windows 2000). You can open the file on the
PC using the PanaLog Viewer (available at www.gesensing.com) or
PanaView software and export it in Microsoft Excel format.
Note: You cannot download log files back to the PT878.
