You can also install it in a (portable) PC to enable the PC to act as a data collection terminal instead of the Workabout. SunData Psion s/w (in the \PSION directory) This is a backup copy of the s/w that is pre-installed in the Workabout. You will not use this except in the unlikely event of program loss from the Workabout. Psion communications s/w (in the \COMMS directory) These are DOS programs provided by Psion which enable you to transfer files between the PC and Workabout. Full documentation is provided on disk and in the appendices. They will not be further described in this section. These programs are essential if you need to restore s/w lost from the Workabout, (unless you have purchased the optional PsiWin Windows s/w), and of course they give you alternative methods of transferring data files from the Workabout to your PC, if you don't want to use SunData's own data file transfer method. Installing the s/w Your PC requirements Your PC needs: DOS 3.3 or higher; a 3.5 inch 1.44 MB diskette drive, and an available serial port with 9 pin D-connector You may need to refer to your PC manual to carry out the following tasks: copy a diskette, create subdirectories, copy files, and run programs from the DOS prompt. You should make a copy of the SunData s/w diskette immediately for routine use. Store the original diskette securely, and set the write-protect slider on the diskettes. Copy all the diskette files to your hard disk drive (HDD). You are recommended to use the same diskette directory names and to put them all in a parent directory, for example: \SUNSCAN. At the same time, you should create another directory for storing SunScan data files, e.g. \SUNSCAN\SSDATA. You may choose alternative names for any of these directories if you wish. ¦ Insert the SunData diskette in your PC's diskette drive. ¦ Create the required directories on your PC's HDD. ¦ Copy the files from the diskette to the HDD. ¦ Remove the SunData diskette from the disk drive. No problems should be experienced if you wish to de-install the SunData programs later. Simply delete all the directories and files that you copied on to your hard disk. 10 • •••• Getting Started Document code: SS1-UM-1.05 Running SunData The program you will run is SUNDATA.EXE (which was in the \PC directory on the diskette). This will be a quick test just to obtain the opening SunData screens on your PC. From DOS ¦ Change to the directory on your hard disk which holds the SUNDATA.EXE file. ¦ At the DOS prompt, type: SUNDATA then . .... or Return or Enter to run it. The opening SunData screen will appear. SunData is running. You should see a starting plaque similar to this: ¦ Press the Tab key ( > >>> >|| ||| ) to select either or , then press . .... to expose the first working screen (see below) You will not see this starting plaque again, but you will always be able to choose your screen mode from the system settings in the program. The first working screen will look like this: For the moment, ignore the connection instruction at the bottom of the screen, because you need to tell your PC which COM port to use for the SunScan Probe. Setting up your PC's COM port ¦ Press Alt+S, then Y The System Settings dialog box will appear: ¦ Use the arrow keys to toggle between the available COM port options. ¦ Press the Tab key ( > >>> >|| ||| ) twice to move to , then press . .... (You can also move there with ^ ^^^v vvv, Enter, or Shift+Tab.) ^v SunScan User Manual v 1.05 Getting Started • •••• 11 Communication checks: SunScan probe to PC For this test you will need the SunScan probe, and the SunData PC s/w running in your PC to the stage described above. ¦ Now connect the SunScan probe coiled cable to the COM port you have just specified, and press . .... again. The CONNECT option will be activated, and the screen will change to report the connection. ¦ On the SunScan probe handle, press the red "GO" button once or twice. Further changes to the screen will occur. Communication between the probe and your PC has now been demonstrated. Don't worry if some of the numbers on the screen appear to be nonsense at this stage. You will get a chance to set the probe up properly in the Tutorial section. The SunData probe is supplied with alkaline batteries installed. The power is always on, but the consumption is so low that new batteries will last for up to 1 year. After taking readings with the probe, its battery voltage is reported in the screen title. The cut-off voltage is 4700 mV. Navigating and selecting options in the PC s/w If you got lost in any of the above instructions, try again, using the following general principles for moving around the screen: a) Select an option by moving the highlighted cursor to it. Use the arrow keys or the Tab key to move between options. Half-tone highlights indicate that options are not available at that moment. b) Accept the selected option by pressing . .... or Return or Enter c) Escape from, or cancel, a selectio...
