Transferring a File from a PC to the PT878GC
Once you have stored site or meter files to a PC, you can then
transfer them back to the PT878GC over the IR interface. The
PT878GC only accepts files with a .sit (site) or .met (meter)
extension. If you try renaming another type of file with a .sit or
.met extension and transfer it, it will be transferred, but it will not
function if you open it. Also, if you are transferring a file and the
meter already has a file with the identical name, the meter will
overwrite its current file with the transferred file. If the
transferred file has a name longer than eight characters, the meter
will shorten the name to eight characters, and replace any spaces
in the name with underbars.
Note: It is not possible to download log files back to the
PT878GC.
To download a site or meter file from a PC to a PT878GC:
1. Check that the Communications option (see page 7-15) has
been set to the IrDA protocol.
