3.2.2 Receiving Data from a CASIO BN/PV Unit

In this example we want to transmit the entire content of your BN/PV Unit to your PC and
then save it to disk. If you have not done so yet, link up the two units with the cradle, as
described in Chapter 2.
Setting the CASIO Digital Diary Model
This setting tells the program which model you are using, so that it adjusts itself exactly to
the specific qualities of your Digital Diary. The details include, for instance, the names of the
available database areas, the Editor width, etc.
Call up the function entitled 'Default Digital Diary...' in the 'Options' menu. A dialog box is
presented, prompting you to select the relevant BN/PV Unit. Choose [OK] to confirm your
selection.
The Transmission Setup
Once you have selected the Digital Diary model, you need to specify the relevant transmis-
sion setup. Select 'Transmission Setup...' from the 'Casio' menu. A dialog box is presented,
prompting you to specify the [Serial Port] to which the cable is connected. Choose [OK]
to confirm your settings. You are now ready for transmission.
Saving Your Settings
Both settings – the Digital Diary model and the transmission setup – usually have to be made
only once, after installing the program. Later, when you leave the program in the normal
way, the values are automatically saved and will be available for all future occasions.
Data Transmission
Preparations for transmission are now concluded. From the 'Casio' menu choose
'Receive From Casio...'
As we want to transmit all the available database areas, click on the [All] button in the right-
hand section of the dialog box. Under "Scope" select [All Items], and under "Mode"
[Append].
