Transferring a File as Text

If you want to review site programming data as text, the
PT878GC can transfer a site file to a PC in a Unicode text format
that can be opened by text editors such as Notepad or Word.
Again, you must have an infrared sensor connected to the PC (or
incorporated into the PC) that can receive data from the
PT878GC IR beam.
1. Check that the Communications option (see
page 7-15) has been set to the IrDA protocol.
Note: For Windows NT 4.0, check that the QuickBeam software
(available through the path C:\Program Files\QuickBeam
Suite) is running, and that the IR beam on the PT878GC
has clear access to the IR sensor connected to the PC
port.
2. Highlight the desired site in the left window of the Site
Manager.
3. Press
[MENU]
once, scroll to the Transfer as Text option, and press
The PT878GC transfers the file as discussed on the previous
page; however, the file has a .txt extension, and it cannot be sent
back to the PT878GC in this format.
