Uploading Data to the Host PC
The PT2000 and TopGun store data records in files in random-access
memory (RAM). When finished collecting data in a file, transmit
(upload) that file from the portable to the host PC. The number of
records that can collected before uploading depends upon the amount of
RAM the portable has.
The portable can be connected to the host PC in either a serial
configuration or a keyboard wedge configuration. The serial
configuration requires a communications program to transfer data to
and from the portable. With this configuration, use an external 9-volt
power adapter (available from a PSC dealer). With the keyboard wedge
configuration, power is drawn from the host PC.
Serial Configuration
Use a PSC 25-pin cable or a PSC 9-pin cable for serial configuration.
Complete the following steps to attach the cable:
1. One of the connectors on the cable has the cable number on it.
Plug that connector into the cable input jack on the bottom of the
portable.
2. Attach the other end of the cable (with the connector labeled
computer) to an available serial port on the PC.
Note: Refer to
Appendix D on page 107 for instructions to connect
the PT Dock to a PC.
Note: Only use cables approved for this application. For a listing
of PT2000 cable numbers, consult the PSC Price Book at:
