Bluetooth. Older recorders employed only the rs-232 cable, while newer Eagle 120
recorders may have Bluetooth installed as an option.
Once the recorder is powered and the PDA is communicating with the recorder, tap the
PMIScan icon to reach the Main Menu, consisting of 3 commands: LDU, Comm, and
Files.
4.8.1 LDU
This mode allows the user to scroll though a number of screens showing real-time display
of the measurements that have been enabled: voltage, current, power, phase angle, power
factor, displacement power factor, and harmonics are possible. The “1 Chan” display
option shows the measurements on fewer screens than the “4 Chan” option, but both
sequences show the same information.
•
Tap More to scroll through the measurements.
•
Tap Next to view other channels.

1) “Download” identifies the recorder in the heading, allows editing of the
Identification, and leads to a download.

below.
2) “Identify” lists information about the individual recorder.
3) “Date/Time” allows the user to synchronize the recorder with the PDA.

4.8.3 Downloading Data
When the Technician wishes to collect data from the recorders in the field, the
PDA serves as a storage medium to convey the data to the office PC. Depending
on what records are enabled, the memory of the PDA holds downloads
from several recorders.
Connect the PDA to the recorder via Bluetooth. To implement the download:
•
Tap Comm, Download, and OK to initiate the transfer.
Depending on the size of the file, the process could take several minutes.
The download is complete when the Main Menu appears. Back at the office,
the PDA may be connected to the PC through the HotSync docking cradle:
•
Connect the cradle to the PC according to the instructions for the Palm.
