Figure F-5: Turbo mode under Preferences should only be checked if a Turbo PXFER cable is being
used.
It is vital that WinPXFER be configured properly for the type of PXFER cable (see F1.2: p.F-2). If
the PXFER cable is a Normal cable, the Turbo option under Preferences should NOT be checked
when attempting to transfer data. If the PXFER cable is a Turbo cable, the Turbo option under
Preferences should be checked when attempting to transfer data.

F1.5 Transferring Noggin Data Buffer Files
Once the parallel XFER cable is connected and the WinPXFER software is installed and running
(see above), it is now possible to transfer all data buffer files to the external computer.
On the DVL, from the main menu, select number 2 – TRANSFER ALL BUFFERS.
The data will be transferred from the DVL to the computer and saved in the current working
directory. The progress of the data transfer will be displayed on the DVL screen and the external
computer.
When the data transfer is complete, on the external computer, exit from the WinPXFER program.
Press any button on the DVL to return to the main menu.
