Installing to a Pocket PC

Installing on a Pocket PC

Once a project has been designed, it must be installed on one or more Pocket PCs before it can be used in the field.

The Install icon within the project window activates loading of a project onto a Pocket PC connected to a desktop computer. To do so:

Connect Pocket PC to desktop or notebook PC, following instructions provided by the Pocket PC manufacturer.
Verify the device has been recognised by your PC. If necessary, locate the Microsoft ActiveSync program on the start menu and follow its procedures for connecting the Pocket PC.
Double click the Install icon in the project window.

If Pocket PC Creations has not been used with the Pocket PC before, an extra prompt may appear to advise the Pocket PC Creations system software must be installed on the device before the project will work. Simply answer Yes to the prompt and the software will be installed automatically.

After the system software has been installed, assign a name or Unit ID to the Pocket PC. This Unit ID is attached to any sessions created on that device, and can be used to identify where each set of data came from.

After the installation of a project is complete, it can be used on the Pocket PC.
