Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related toARCHER-PCON:3

Expand AllCollapse All

  1. When PConnectCE is used to collect data from a data logger to a PocketPC or Windows Mobile device, why is the file stored as a BDF file instead of a DAT file?

    Data files are stored on the PDA in a binary format with a .bdf extension. When they are transferred during the hot sync process,PConnectCEconverts them to comma-separated ASCII. The collected data files must be saved in the My Documents folder on the PDA; if not, the conversion process does not take place. The files are transferred to the PC in their original format with a .bdf extension.

    Try copying the BDF file back to the PDA in the My Documents folder. Then perform the hot sync again. If the file has not been corrupted in the copying process,PConnectCEshould find it in the appropriate directory during the next hot sync and perform the conversion.

    The files are also transferred in their original format if a process other thanPConnectCEtransfers the file beforePConnectCEis able to transfer it. To resolve this issue, disable any other processes in ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center that may be transferring the file. After resolving the issue, try copying the BDF file back to the PDA in the My Documents folder, and perform the hot sync again.

  2. Is Archer-PCon compatible with Windows 7 software?

    Archer-PCon字段数据收集方案缺点ists of Juniper Systems’ Archer Field PC, Campbell Scientific’sPConnectCE Datalogger Support Software, and the hardware required to connect the field PC to a Campbell Scientific data logger.

    PConnectCEwas not developed to run on Windows 7. Therefore, some additional steps are needed to getPConnectCErunning correctly on a Windows 7 PC.

    There are two issues withPConnectCEand Windows 7. One issue is that, starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft declared ActiveSync obsolete and began shipping the Windows Mobile Device Center instead. The other issue involves the User Account Control (UAC) feature in Windows.

    When attempting to installPConnectCEon a Windows 7 PC, a message appears that ActiveSync cannot be found. By continuing with the installation, a failure message related to the UAC may or may not appear. Windows 7, however, has a self-healing feature for application compatibility. To use this feature, do the following:

    1. Start installingPConnectCEfor a second time.
    2. Ignore the ActiveSync error.
    3. When a message appears asking if the software should be run in compatibility mode, chooseYes.
    4. The installation will continue. Everything should work correctly after the installation is finished.
  3. Does the Archer-PCon Field Data-Collection Package come with PConnectCE software?

    Yes. The Archer-PCon package includesPConnectCEsoftware. ThePConnectCEmanual includes instructions for installing the software.
