Download [Ranger and Windows CE]
In the TDS program, go to the Transfer routine and pick the Send File function. Set the "Connecting To" field to HP-48.
Make sure that the COM port, baud rate and parity are set correctly and then pick OK. In the Type field of the file
selection dialog, choose Coordinate Files or Raw Files. Stop here on the TDS and go to Carlson to run Data Collection in
the Survey menu and pick TDS. Make sure that the COM port and baud rate are set correctly. Then pick the Download
button. The Carlson program will now wait to receive the TDS file. Within 10 seconds select the file to send on the TDS
and pick OK in the TDS dialog. The file should be transferred now. When the transfer is complete, the program will ask
you for the Carlson file to create if you haven't already specified a file name in the dialog. With Point Protect on,
the routine will check the coordinate file for existing point data before downloading the point from the data
collector.


Upload [Ranger and Windows CE]
A Carlson coordinate (.CRD) file can be converted to a CR5 file and uploaded into TDS. Start in the TDS program, by
going to the Transfer routine and pick the Receive File function. Set the "Connecting To" field to HP-48. Make sure that
the COM port, baud rate and parity are set correctly and then pick OK. Then move back to Carlson and run Data Collection
in the Survey menu and pick TDS. In the Carlson dialog, enter a TDS File name. This name should not include the drive
and directory path or file extension. For example, if the coordinate (.CRD) file is c:\scadxml\data\simo2.crd then the
TDS File name could be just SIMO2. Next pick the Select File button next to the Carlson coordinate (.CRD) file edit box
and choose the coordinate (.CRD) file to send. Check that the COM port and baud rate are set correctly. Now pick the
Carlson Upload button. A dialog now allows you to specify the range of point numbers to upload. Enter the range of
points and click the Start Transfer button.
