PI Manual Logger Mobile
supports the following operating systems:
on the PDA, Pocket PC
2003 or above, which includes
Windows Mobile 5.0 and
6.0; ActiveSync
4.0 or Windows Mobile Device
Center (for Vista) must be installed in the
PC which is going to be used to
synchronize the PDA. Additionally,
Barcode scanning
equipment is optional if this
feature wants to be used with a PDA or
the PC. Let's go over the
installation process.
In my computer, I
have downloaded
the Manual Logger
Mobile Installation File.
This is a quick
installation. I can unzip the files
and run through the setup.
As
the files are being installed, I will
be taken through a couple of steps.
I accept all the default settings
including the folder where
PimlMobile is going to be
installed.
You can choose the PDA that you
will be using. In this case it's Windows
Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
I click Next
and continue through the installation.
This process is going to install the
required files that will have to be
uploaded into the PDA for
Manual Logger to be ready to go.
That includes
the Manual Logger Mobile
and the required databases in the
PDA. I can
accept the default installation.
In the next synchronization, the following
applications will be installed.
I click
Finish, and I am done with my
installation.
Now,
I have in my
desktop
an emulator of the PDA
that we will be using to demonstrate how the
software works on the PDA.
I also have ActiveSync
installed in this computer
to be able to transfer data back and
forth with my PDA.
I will go ahead and use my
emulator
to connect or simulate the PDA
synchronizing with the
PC.
When
I do this, I receive the
following window saying that OSI
PI Manual Logger Mobile and other installations
are ready to be installed. I can
select Yes, and I can see that PI
Manual Logger Mobile is being installed
into my PDA. I can
continue through the installation and accept
the default settings and locations for all
of the files, including a
SQL Database that will
have to be installed into the PDA and
will hold the information for Manual Logger Mobile.
I
can see that the PDA is installing
and configuring the files.
I can wait
and see if there are any other required
steps. I am going to click OK,
and it seems like the installation is
almost complete. Once the installation is
complete, I can check in my
PDA. If I go to the Start Menu
under Programs, I will
see the new program, PimlMobile,
and if I click on it, I can see
the
window of
Manual Logger Mobile. Now,
in order to be able to use
Manual Logger Mobile, I will have to
configure some tools, and upload those tools
into the PDA.
