How to download macros, symbols and templates from WinLoG?

First of all you have to make certain that you have set up you pocket PC Preferences properly in the desktop version of WinLoG.  Click ‘File’ then click ‘Preferences’. Then choose your default Pocket Data upload download directory.  

"C:\Documents and Settings\pspurvey\My Documents\Pocket_PC MyDocuments\WinLoG"

(It would be your user name instead of ‘pspurvey’ in the directory listing.)

 

 

 

 

Connect your Pocket PC to your computer.

 

 

 

Make certain that the Files directory is included as one of your active synch directories.

 

 

   

   

 

 

For example, in the above active synch the files directory is not included.  

To include it from active synch, click ‘Tools’ and then ‘Options’

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the ‘Files’ check box and then OK to include the ‘Files’ directory as an ActiveSync directory. You are now ready to upload or download data to your Pocket PC from WinLoG and Pocket WinLoG. Follow the instructions in the Pocket WinLoG manual to upload or download your templates and logs.



How do I set up Pocket WinLoG with a client?

First of all, upon connecting the Pocket Pc to your desktop computer, changes the settings for MS Active Synch.

1) First of all make certain that the ‘Files’ directory is being synchronized 

 Click ‘Options’  and make certain the ‘Files’ directory is checked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Then click ‘OK’. You should then see ‘Files’ listed under the details screen in ActiveSync.

 

 

 

 

   

 

2) Once this is done determine the default windows synchronization directory

Click the Options Button.  Click the Settings button from the Options Form.

 

 

 

   

  

 

You will note in this example the files are synchronized to the

C:\Documents and Settings\pspurvey\My Documents\Pocket_PC directory.  To enable the desktop version of WinLoG to retrieve and send data to the Pocket PC, this directory path has to be entered as the default pocket data directory.

 

Note: The WinLoG sub directory has to be added to the end of the directory path.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\pspurvey\My Documents\Pocket_PC  +  ‘\WinLoG’

 

C:\Documents and Settings\pspurvey\My Documents\Pocket_PC \WinLoG
