Complete Backup And Retrieval Of Data; Receiving Data From Other Casio Digital Diaries - Casio PV-750 Plus User Manual

Working with PC sync
The menu items have the same functions as in the menu 'Casio': 'Quick Data Copy' in the
main PC sync program: 'Send' is for sending Clipboard text without any further queries, and
'Edit' opens the dialogue window shown earlier.
Tip:
Copy the program 'Add Quick Data Copy to Taskbar' or a shortcut to the 'StartUp' folder,
so that the icon will be available every time you start Windows. To find out how this is
done, read the relevant section in your Windows user's manual.
This enables you to run Quick Data Copy with a system icon while the main PC sync
program is running.

3.5 Complete backup and retrieval of data

The menu items 'Backup': 'Send' and 'Backup': 'Receive' enable you to transfer all the data
of your BN/PV Unit fast and efficiently to your PC, e.g. before changing batteries, and – if
necessary – back to your BN/PV Unit.
To back up data, choose 'Backup': 'Receive' and press Start on the cradle (If you are using
a PV-200e unit, tap the PC sync icon in the lower left corner of its screen). All data is now
transferred to your PC. After the transfer give the backup file a file name. To retrieve the
data, choose 'Backup': 'Send', select the relevant back-up file and press Start on the cradle
(If you are using a PV-200e unit, tap the PC sync icon in the lower left corner of its screen).
Note:
Backup files always have the extension *.bkp and cannot be edited, i.e. you cannot
open them with 'File': 'Open...'.

3.6 Receiving Data from other CASIO Digital Diaries

PC sync can only receive data from other Digital Diaries (Non-BN/PV Units) but not send
back.
Select 'Receive From Other Diary...' from the 'Casio' menu. A dialog box is presented,
prompting you to choose the Source and Destination Digital Diary. Select the proper Source
Digital Diary in the left list and click on the [Transmission Setup...] button. A further dialog
box is presented, prompting you to specify the [Serial Port] to which the cable is connected.
Next, select the setup for the Baud Rate, Parity and Word Length (i.e. bit length) that are
relevant to your Digital Diary. The default values given here are the ones which the Digital
Diary port would have after a RESET. Normally, you can leave this setup unchanged. To
compare settings, we recommend that you open the transmission setup display on your
Digital Diary (cf. also Appendix C). Some models have a fixed Baud rate.
Note:
It is extremely important that both units should have the same transmission setup.
Otherwise, transmission may be faulty.
