Setting Up the PT40
You can collect data records on the PT40, and send the records later to a host
PC. The number of data records that can be collected before being uploaded
depends on how much random-access memory (RAM) is installed in the
PT40.
The PT40 stores data records in files in random-access memory (RAM). The
number of records that can be collected depends upon the amount of RAM
available to the application. Refer to the
Memory Table on page F-1
to deter-
mine the amount of RAM you need.
Getting Started
Unless it has been customized, the Falcon PT40 is programmed from the fac-
tory for basic data collection using
PALPRO40
.
This chapter describes how to use the PT40 with its original PSC programming
(i.e.
PALPRO40
). If the PT40 has been customized, it may operate differently.
Check with a systems administrator for revised operating instructions.
If the PT40 does not turn on when the
<PWR>
key is pressed, you many need to
recharge the main battery (refer to
Falcon PT40 Batteries starting on page A-1
).
