Now that we have installed
Manual Logger Mobile in the PDA and
have initialized the database in the PDA,
we are ready to create some tours and
transfer the tours to the Manual Logger Mobile.
It is very important that Manual Logger
Mobile not be running while the transfer
is taking place, or the data will not be
transferred. So, the PDA
will have to be cradled or connected to the
PC but the Manual Logger
Mobile in the PDA could not --
cannot be running. You will have to exit the
application before you can transfer the new
tours. Let's go ahead and create
a New Tour and transfer
that tour to the PDA.
This is our familiar window
where I am going to create a New Tour. This
is going to be my PDA
Tour
3, with
a Full Access Group,
Data Entry Group, and three different
tags for which I am going
to collect information.
Now that I finish,
I want to set a new
Schedule for my tour which is going
to be Hourly starting at
nine o'clock
this morning,
and I want to set a couple of options.
I do not want a
Comment Tag. I do want my --
data to be submitted for approval, so I
do not want to Auto-Send it out to the PI Server
or the Data Collectors to send data to the
PI Server. I click OK.
Also, for my first tour, I want
to set a lower limit of
10, and if I
violate that limit, I want a Comment
from the Data Collector.
And for my last tag,
I want a Conditional
Specification that if
the Current
Value
of PIML-
Float11
is
greater than 50,
[typing]
I will collect the data now,
otherwise I will
skip the collection. I am now ready
to save my tour
and exit.
Now that I created my
tour, I can go to
Mobile Devices, Device Data
Transfer, where I can see these
four different panes. The two panes
on the right show me
the tours that are available
in my PC along with their tour
runs. The pane
on the right shows me
the tours that are available on the
PDA --I do not have any right now -- and the
runs that have been performed in the PDA.
So, let's go ahead
and select the PDA
Tour 3 which I created.
Select that for transfer to the PDA.
I have to highlight the
tour on the left, click on the Select
Arrow, and now the PDA Tour 3 is
available for transfer. But the transfer will not
take place until I click on Transfer.
Now, before doing that, ensure
that
Manual Logger Mobile is not
running on my Pocket PC.
I seem to be okay, so I am going to go ahead and
perform the transfer.
Manual Logger is communicating
with the PDA.
It's updating the database.
I can go ahead and
close the window, and the tour now
has been uploaded to the PDA.
