Using NEO Manager to View, Print, and Save Files
Retrieving Files from Connected NEOs
You can use the NEO Manager software to get the numbered files (1–8) from
all connected NEOs. You can then view the files, print them, or save them as
separate text files.
NEO Manager retrieves files 1–8 from NEOs. It doesn’t retrieve named files
that aren’t open in files 1–8. If you want to retrieve a named file, make sure
you open it on the NEO.
If you retrieve a file that has a linked file associated with it, you retrieve the
linked file text as well. When you view, print, or save the file, the linked file
text is added to the end of the main file. For more about linked files, see
page 41.
Follow these steps to retrieve files from your connected NEOs:
1. In NEO Manager, click the Get/Print AlphaWord Files tab.
If you have just one NEO connected, you’ll see “NEO USB” in the File
Contents list as shown on the next page. If you connect an entire
SmartOption Mobile Lab, the connected NEOs will be listed by number.
If you are using a
SmartOption Mobile
Lab, you may have as
many as 30 NEOs connected
to your computer. This means
you could be retrieving as
many as 240 files (8 files for
each of the 30 NEOs).
Typically, you should allow
10–45 minutes to save or print
files from 30 NEOs.
