Creating and Setting Up the Upload Data Nodes
The last frame, Upload Data, allows the user to copy collected data from the
portable’s file to a file on the PC. You will set up nodes that do the following:
Display a menu asking if the user wants to upload data.
•If the response is
Yes (<F3>), send data over the serial connector to the
PC. If the response is
No (<F4>), exit to the Main Menu.
If the output is successful, display a message indicating so for 45 sec-
onds (or until the user presses a key), and then clear the portable’s file
and return to the
Main Menu. If the output is unsuccessful, beep and
display an error message, and then redisplay the prompt.

1. Double-click on the
