two (or more) different groups. One group for the first handheld, and one for the second. You 
can do this by simply renaming the JayHH.jin file that is being exported. When you export the 
readings from the handheld into JUS, use specific names such as “JayHH-1.jin” and    “JayHH-

premise information is being transferred to the handheld for the meter readers, the default name 
of the file will be called “JayHH.jot”. The default location should be 
“C:\Jayhawk_Software_Data\DAP\From PC” 
 
 

6.  What is JayHH.jin? 

Answer/Solution:

  JayHH.jin is the default filename used when transferring the full reading file 

from the Handheld. For example, if there is only one handheld that is used, and the new 
readings are being transferred to the handheld for the clerk to calculate bills from, the default 
name of the file will be called JayHH.jin. The default location should be 
“C:\Jayhawk_Software_Data\DAP\From HH”
