"Enable PC Sync Using This Connection:" then change the connection

type in the drop-down box from "USB Default" to "19200 Default"

then exit out of the ActiveSync screen by tapping the "X" in the upper

right hand corner.

Note that both Pocket-Situ on the RuggedReader and Win-Situ

on the PC will use the same serial COM ports to communicate

with instruments as Microsoft ActiveSync will be trying to use to

communicate between the two computers. Before attempting serial

port communications in Microsoft ActiveSync make certain that you

drop any active connections with instruments (highlight the connection

line in the Navigation Tree and tap Drop) and close both Pocket-Situ

(highlight the Home level in the Navigation Tree and tap Exit) on the

RuggedReader and Win-Situ on the PC.

Problem: How are data ﬁ les transferred between the RuggedReader

and PC?

Solution: All data ﬁ les extracted from dataloggers using the

RuggedReader are stored by default in the Pocket-Situ Data folder. All

data ﬁ les for Win-Situ on the PC will be stored in a parallel Win-Situ

Data folder on that computer. To transfer data ﬁ les between the two

computers, ﬁ rst establish a connection between them using Microsoft

ActiveSync. With a connection established, click on the Explore

button at the tope of the ActiveSync window on the PC. This will

bring up a File Explorer window that will allow navigation through

the RuggedReader's memory from the desktop PC. Navigate to My

Pocket PC > Built-in Storage > PocketSitu > Data to access data ﬁ les.

Data ﬁ les cre at ed using the LowFlow wizard will be located within the

LowFlow sub-directory within the Data folder. Highlight the data ﬁ les

of interest and copy them. Go to the desktop of the PC and double-

click on the My Computer icon. Navigate to C:\Win-Situ\Data and

paste the copied ﬁ les into this directory. If you are pasting LowFlow

data ﬁ les, they should be pasted into the LowFlow sub-directory of the

Data folder.

Data ﬁ les are in a compressed binary format that only Win-Situ and

Pocket-Situ can read. These ﬁ les must be opened through Win-Situ

or Pocket-Situ, and cannot be opened by double-clicking on them in

the File Explorer. Launch Win-Situ to view data ﬁ les on the PC. Any

ﬁ les that are in the Win-Situ Data folder will be accessible through the
