PConnect software supports communications between a Palm OS-based PDA and a Campbell Scientific data logger. It allows you to carry only your PDA and cables instead of a laptop computer to interface with your data logger and collect your data.
Read MoreThe software is supplied on CD-ROM. The connection between the PDA and data logger is supported by a variety of mechanisms (direct serial connection, RF401-series spread spectrum radio, SC-IRDA Infrared interface, and Bluetooth). Please see the information under the Compatibility tab for details.
PConnect can be used to collect data from the data logger, and transfer the data to an office PC. Collected data is transferred to the PC during the HotSync process. This process also synchronizes program files between the PDA and PC.
Functions supported by PConnect include the capability to:

--OR--
PDA-to-serial cable or cradle (one end of the cable/cradle must terminate in a 9-pin serial connector) is required. The cable/cradle connects to the PDA-to-CS I/O connector or PDA-to-RS232 cable via the 9-pin serial connector. This cable/cradle may be included with the PDA, or it may need to be purchased as a separate accessory from the PDA manufacturer or a third party supplier.
Third-party Bluetooth serial adapter is required. The interface and/or cables that are used to connect the adapter to the data logger will vary, depending upon whether the device acts like a DTE (computer) device or DCE (PDA) device. In some instances, this is evident by the pin-out of the adapter, but not always. A general rule is if the adapter has a 9-pin female connector, then the adapter is connected to the data logger using the PDA-to-CS I/O connector for the CS I/O port or the PDA-to-RS232 cable for the RS-232 port. If the adapter has a 9-pin male connector, then the adapter is connected to the data logger using an SC32B for the CS I/O port or it can be connected directly to the RS-232 port.
Upgrade PConnect 3.0 thru 3.3 to version 3.4. PConnect 3.0 or newer must be installed on your machine.
