This selection transfers data files to a PC via the serial null modem cable. Before selecting this in the
control box, you must first prepare the PC to receive the data. The Lasercheck installation software creates
a C:\Program Files\Lasercheck\Control Box directory on the computer. In that directory, a file named
recvtxt.bat is created. Double click on that file. A DOS prompt will appear asking for Comm Port. Enter the
com port number that the serial null modem cable is attached to on your computer (must be comm. port 1 to
4) Then scroll to FILES: >Send on the control box with the scroll (>) push button and push the Select push
button. The LCD displays the following screen:
Sending data files now.
All data files are being transferred to the computer while this is displayed. The PC will display a window
with a bar graph indicating progress of the file transfer. When all files have been transferred, the control
box will return to the File System Window. The files received in the PC are in the same directory as the
recvtxt.bat file, and these data files end in “.txt”.
