Data Transfer Using the Infrared (IR) Port and Data Transfer
Software
5.1 Overview
The PowerPac HV is capable of transmitting methods and data through an infrared (IR)
port located on the front of the power supply (Figure 13). This optional PowerPac Data
Transfer Software (DTS)(catalog #164-5067) includes the PowerPac Remote application
for a PDA.

Methods can be transmitted to and from the PDA. Run data can be transmitted to a personal
computer (PC), either directly from the power supply or through a PDA.
Using the PDA with PowerPac Remote, methods can be created, stored and beamed to
and from the PowerPac HV. The PDA may also be used as the intermediary to store and
transfer data from PowerPac to the PC (Figure 14).
The PC data transfer software function will receive, store and process run data. The PC
data transfer software will not transfer data back to the PDA or PowerPac HV.
