4. Using the PConnect Software
PConnectCE
is started by selecting Start | Programs | PConnectCE on the
Allegro CE. The software has three main windows, the Station window, the
Data window, and the Program window. You can navigate between these
windows by pressing the letter box for each window (S for Station, D for Data,
and P for Program). The Station window is used to set up and communicate
with the datalogger. The Data window is used to view a data file that has been
collected from the datalogger. The Program window is used to view the DLD
files that have been copied to the Allegro CE.
When
PConnectCE
is first installed, the Station window will appear. The first
step is to configure the station for communication.
