Logging and Data Transfer

XMODEM: Binary is for factory diagnostic purposes and should not be used by the 
operator. This option requires Security Level 3. 

Note: 

Refer to 

section 2.13 on page 9

 to correctly configure the spreadsheet-importable format. 

Before starting the transmit process, refer to the communications program specific commands or 
to ProComm Plus for DOS basic commands or Hyperterminal basic command in the Quick 
Reference chapter. 

5.

Launch the communication program on the PC. Make sure the correct baud rate is selected for 
the computer and that the proper transfer protocol is selected in the communications program 
setup menus. 

6.

From the PC, select the option to receive the files in the communications program. For 
example, press PgDn for ProComm Plus for DOS. Name the file and press ENTER. Then 
press any key. 

7.

The last two lines (with zeros) on the Surveyor 4a screen should start changing to show that 
the transfer is taking place. Otherwise, check the cables, setup, and transfer procedures. 
Press ABort to terminate the transfer.

8.

When the transfer is complete, go to the computer directory where the files was saved. Open 
the files to view the scan(s). 

Note: 

Information from the Series 3 or 4 mulitprobes cannot be downloaded since the Surveyor 4a Clipboard 

memory does not have the capacity to receive files. Call Technical Support to inquire about upgrades to 
the Surveyor 4a. 

Note: 

If the Surveyor 4a is connected to a multiprobe with logging, you can also go yo Sonde instead of 

Surveyor 4a from the Files submenu to create, delete, or look at the status of the multiprobe files. To 
download and file, a Surveyor 4a with memory must be sued. Refer to XXXXX

4.2.4 Deleting Scans

To delete scans stored in the instrument clipboard, follow the steps below.

1.

Press the Files key, or the Files key and then Surveryor4a key (for the Series4Sonde or 
Series4Sonde connections), move the cursor to Delete and press SELECT. 

2.

Make sure you want to delete the selected scans. There is not an undo function. Either leave 
the cursor on All: Date—Time to delete all the scans, or move the cursor down to select a 
specific scan and press SELECT. 

4.3 Surveyor 4a File Types (with Memory)

The Surveyor 4a can be set up to store, create, delete, capture, review, annotate, download, 
transmit, wipe, and view the status of files, and turn the Autolog feature on or off. 

Surveyor File Types

Captured Text: this files is a text file that was created, then data was added manually by 
pressing the STORE key in NoConn, Series3Sonde, or Series4Sonde mode. Once transferred 
to a PC, the captured text can be opened in a word processing program.

Manual File: this files was created using a Series 3 multiprobe in Series3Sonde interface 
mode. Once transferred to a PC, a manual file can be opened in a word processing or 
spreadsheet program.
