7-14 Logging Data
Printing a Log (cont.)
The PM880 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 PM880
returns to the Log Manager, while the printer prints out the log.
Transferring a Log to a PC
To upload a log to a PC:
1. Check that the Communications option (see page 6-14) has
been set to the IrDA protocol, and that the IR beam on the
PM880 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 PM880 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.gepanametrics.com) or PanaView software
and export it in Microsoft Excel format.
Note: You cannot download log files back to the PM880.
