MODEL 5073PT : Palmtop 5096 Programming Software
General Description:
The Palmtop 5096 Programming Software allows a palmtop computer to communicate with
the HydroLynx 5096 transmitter for programming, testing and downloading data. This
software runs under Windows for Handheld PC on the 5071PT Palmtop Portable Field
Computer. Windows ActiveSync software is required on a desktop computer to load the
software onto the palmtop computer. Windows ActiveSync software is usually supplied
with a palmtop computer when it is purchased.
The 5073PT software acts as a terminal program to let you type commands to program
the 5096 transmitter. Command responses from the 5096 transmitter are displayed on
the palmtop screen.
The 5073PT software has a text file logging feature. This feature lets you log your
programming session, the transmitter parameter set or logged data reports to text
files on the palmtop. These text files can later be uploaded to your desktop computer.
The 5073PT software uses command scripting to simplify the programming of 5096 transmitters.
Script files are pre-defined 5096 command sets that are stored on the palmtop computer
and selected through a file open dialogue box for transfer to the 5096 transmitter.
Examples of 5096 programming scripts are provided and new script files can be created
on the palmtop computer or on your desktop computer and transferred to the palmtop
using Windows CE Services.
The 5073PT software communicates with the 5096 transmitter through the palmtop COM1
serial port. A 5071PT Palmtop to 5096 Programming Cable is required to connect the
palmtop Synch cable to the 5096 transmitter. This cable provides the correct connectors
and necessary jumpers to keep the 5096 transmitter awake while the cable is connected. |
