Additional Compatibility Information
Data Logger Considerations
Data Logger Interfacing
- PDA-to-CS I/O connector or PDA-to-RS232 cable.
--OR--
- SC-IRDA Infrared Interface connects to the CS I/O port (not compatible w/CR200(X)-series)
PDA Requirements
- Operating system: Palm OS Version 3.3 or later (Pocket PC OS-based PDAs require PConnectCE)
- Must be capable of serial communication
- Memory: 2 MByte if collecting data from one standard data logger; 8 MByte recommended when collecting from many stations or from data loggers with extended memories
- If using the SC-IRDA, the PDA must have an IRDA port and an IR chip set compatible with the SC-IRDA.
- For Bluetooth communication, the handheld must be Bluetooth enabled.
Communication Requirements
PDA Connection for Serial Communication
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.
Bluetooth Communication
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.
Software
- Palm Desktop Software installed on the PC
- One copy of PConnect software per PDA
