Deleting Content Databases before Merging

You cannot select a particular database from among multiple installable databases
for merging. When you choose to accept new information in the ImagiProbe
application all installable databases in your handheld will be merged into the
ImagiProbe application. Delete unwanted databases from your handheld before you
open the ImagiProbe application.
To delete a database:
1. Tap the Apps button.
2. Tap the Menu icon, or press the Menu key
3. Tap Delete.
4. Select the content database you wish to delete.
5. Tap Delete to permanently remove this content database.

2.7. Copying Data to a Desktop Computer

After you have conducted investigations with the ImagiProbe ™ system, you may
wish to work with your data on a desktop computer. In this chapter you will learn to
copy ImagiProbe data and annotations from the handheld computer to a desktop
computer. After you copy data to your desktop computer, you can browse through it
using your favorite browser, you can import it into MultiLab or into any other
application that accepts tab delimited text data (e.g. AppleWorks ®, Excel ®).
Before you can copy data from your handheld computer onto your desktop computer,
you must install the Palm Desktop™ software provided with your handheld computer.
Please consult the handheld computer manual to install the Palm Desktop software.
Small pieces of software called conduits enable you to copy data from the handheld
computer to your desktop through a procedure known as HotSync ®.The instructions
in this guide assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software and
are familiar with HotSync.
2.7.1. Copying Data from a Handheld Computer to a Desktop
Computer
The ImagiProbe conduit employs a set of criteria for determining when to copy data
from the ImagiProbe application to the desktop computer:
When something has changed in the ImagiProbe application since the last HotSync
When the ImagiProbe application has been opened on the handheld computer since
the last HotSync, or when a conduit setting has changed since the last HotSync
When the ImagiProbe conduit decides that it needs to copy data, it creates a new
<username>Investigations folder within the selected destination folder. Each folder
contains only a copy of the data on the handheld computer at the time of that
HotSync.
