Transferring Data With PSC Utilities
80 PT2000 & Top Gun PDTs
Using PDTFER
Instead of using the PTFER application in Windows, transfer files to and
from the PT2000 or Top Gun using commands on the DOS command
line.
The command line syntax for transferring files with
PTFER is as follows:
pdtfer filename [-¦/][port][Bn][Dn][action]
where
filename = the name of the file to transfer (include the extension)
port = the number of the COM port to use (1, 2, 3, or 4; the default
setting is
2)
Bn = the baud rate to use (the default setting is B9600)
Dn = the timeout period, in seconds (the default is 30 seconds on
receive and 1 second on transmit)
action = A to receive data and append it to the existing file
E to echo the display to the screen
H to display on screen help
R to receive data from the portable and replace the existing
file contents
T to transfer data to the portable (the default)
The port, baud rate, timeout, and action parameters are optional. When
using one or more parameters, precede them with a hyphen (
-) or a
slash (
/). Enter parameters either before or after the file name.
For example, the command
pdtfer link.txt /1 sends the file
named
link.txt over COM1 to the portable (the default action, T, is
assumed). The command
pdtfer -3r data.txt would upload data
from the portable over COM3 into a file named
data.txt.
Note: Files must be transferred to or from the current DOS
directory.
