beginning of the year, the number of days that are still left this year, and the calendar
week of the selected date (with a coloured background).
The Calendar goes from 1 January 1901 to 31 December 2099. The selection marking
can be moved with the arrow keys or set with the mouse. The selection of a month can
be set with the scroll bar on the right edge of the Calendar. To scroll back and forth a
month at a time, click on the up/down arrows of the scroll bar. To browse whole years,
click between the arrows and the slider. You can also position the slider directly with the
mouse.
To access a date through manual entry, select the function 'Schedule/Appointments':
'Goto Date...'. and enter the date.
Set the first day of the week via 'Schedule/Appointments': 'First Day Of The Week'.
A double click on a given date in the Calendar has the effect of creating a new entry for
that date. The Editor is opened, and you can enter your data.

3.2.2 Transmitting Data from a CASIO Digital Diary to a PC

In this example we want to transmit the entire content of your CASIO Digital Diary to
your PC and then save it to disk. If you have not done so yet, link up the two units with
the cable, as described in Chapter 2.
Note that the two units cannot communicate unless you have set the relevant Digital
Diary model and coordinated its transmission setup with that of the CASIO Digital Diary.
Not all models have a transmission setup.
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 diary. The details include, for instance, the names of the
available database areas, the Editor width, the transmission speed, etc.
Call up the function entitled 'Digital Diary...' in the 'Options' menu. A dialog box is
presented, prompting you to select the relevant CASIO Digital Diary. Choose [OK] to
confirm your selection.
The Transmission Setup
Once you have selected the Digital Diary model, you need to specify the relevant trans-
mission 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. 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. If a Digital Diary allows a maximum baud rate of 4800, then the
default is set to 2400, as these Digital Diaries can only transmit correctly at 2400 Baud.
