Chapter 5: Data Transfer
All data are stored on the SIR 30 internal memory, even if you are using a separate laptop to control it.
Transferring Data from the SIR 30 to the Control Laptop
This section assumes that the User is using a separate laptop to control the SIR 30. Data must first be
copied to the laptop from the SIR 30 and can then be copied off the laptop, or processed on the laptop if
you have a copy of RADAN 7 installed.
Step 1: Create a Folder on the client Laptop
1
Exit the SIR 30 control program or select the Windows button on the laptop keyboard and click
Computer from the popup menu.
2
Navigate to the Local Disk (C:).
3
Right-click in the Explorer window and select New > Folder.
4
Name the new folder “radardata”. If there is already one on the C drive, you can delete the new one
you just made.
5
Re-open the SIR 30 program.
Step 2: Move Data
1
Select OUTPUT OPTIONS > MANAGE FILES.
2
Make sure you are in the Data Path where your desired files are located. If not, click DATA PATH and
select it from the list.
3
Select COPY TO LAPTOP. GSSI recommends that the User copy as opposed to move the files
because move will delete the data from the SIR 30. It is best to copy the data, confirm that all data has
been copied to the laptop, and then delete the data from the SIR 30.
4
Choose the files to be copied and select Accept. If the User has collected multi-channel data files, you
can SPLIT CHANNELS and the individual channels will be broken up into separate data files.
5
The User can now transfer the data to another computer via a removable hard drive, CD/DVD or USB
flash drive.
Step 3: Confirm and Delete
1
Return to the folder on the C drive and confirm that the data files have been transferred.
2
Return to the SIR 30 program and select OUTPUT OPTIONS > MANAGE FILES > DELETE FILES.
3
Select the files you wish to delete and then select Accept. The SIR 30 will not ask for confirmation, so
be sure those files are the ones you want to delete.
