Transferring the data file to your PC Now is the time to practice transferring a data file from the Workabout to your PC. You will run SunData in the Workabout and SunData on the PC, and send the file via the RS232 serial connection. The SunData File Transfer system is intended only for transferring data files from the Workabout to a PC. You can't use it for non data files, nor for transfers from the PC to the Workabout. Other types of file transfer can be done with the utility programs referred to in the appendices. Of course, if you are using a portable PC as a Data Collection Terminal instead of the Workabout, your data files will already be on the hard disk, and you won't need to do this. From the Workabout On the Workabout: ¦ Disconnect the SunScan probe coiled cable from the RS232 port on the Workabout. Plug the (uncoiled) SunScan comms cable into the Workabout.
