You will immediately get a "Sending" message showing the progress of the transfer
until it is completed, after which you will be returned to the SunData program.
If you have no more to do, you can exit SunData with
∪
∪∪
∪+X and disconnect the
RS232 comms cable.
If the process is not going according to plan, and you suspect problems with the
RS232 link, see the section below for help.
Meanwhile, on the PC...
Simultaneously with the sending message on the Workabout, you will see the file
being written on the PC screen, and a final confirmatory message that the file has
been sent correctly, if all was well.
♦ Press
Esc twice to exit the file transfer process, and then exit the SunData
program too (
Alt+F, X).
The data file has now been copied to your PC, into the directory you have specified.
From there you can easily import it into spreadsheets or other applications for
presentation or further analysis.
In a later section (More Psion and file handling notes) you can find out how to
clean up your Flashcard by deleting files you have transferred to your PC.
