See sections 12 to 14 which give examples of how to configure Bluetooth® on PC or PDA.
When entering this mode, the Hypsometer prompts the user to
PRESS A KEY TO START,
press any key to
start the download procedure. Once the download has completed, the unit sounds a ‘beep’ and the message
DOWNLOAD COMPLETE
appears on the screen.
All the entries in the memory are sent out as ASCII characters via Bluetooth® in the following format:
PLOT NO., TREE NO., LENGTH m, DIAMETER m, VOLUME m, TAPER
10,10, 3.22, 0.03, 0.00, 0.00%
10,21, 3.17, 0.14, 0.05, 0.00%
10,22, 2.74, 0.15, 0.05, 0.00%
10,23, 2.69, 0.02, 0.00, 0.00%
10,24, 0.42, 0.04, 0.00, 0.00%
The first string specifies the data fields in each line that follows (ie the first field in a line is the plot number, the
next field is the tree number, etc with the last field being the tapering factor). This format is useful if the
measured data is to be stored in a spreadsheet.
You can use the Windows HyperTerminal application to view and record this data, if not familiar with this
application follow the setup instructions described in section 12.4.
To save the downloaded data to a file, first open HyperTerminal and connect to your instrument, then click the
‘Transfer’ menu then ‘Capture Text…’ enter an appropriate filename and click the ‘Start’ button. All serial data
now sent to the PC will be saved in the specified text file. When complete, select the ‘Transfer’ menu, ‘Capture
Text’ and ‘Stop’ option.

to do (to prevent accidental deletion of the memory).
