System Overview - Palm

The DataGet system consists of four programs that work in conjunction with other software on your PC.

1. DG Config - this program allows you to create the Parts setups (or Forms) you need for data collection. You can have multiple files, each containing multiple Parts. The files are saved in XML text format to insure compatibility and long life.  DGConfig can be considered a Forms Designer.

2. User Manager - this program allows you to:

   • Add a new user to the DataGet system.

   • Specify the file type and destination where a user's data will be saved.  You can save as an Access database, Excel spreadsheet, or as a text file.

   • Specify what Forms will be downloaded to a specific user.

3. Conduit - this is a dll that is called by the Palm HotSync program. The DataGet dll handles the actual data communication between the PC and the Palm.  The Conduit saves the data from the Palm in the format of your choice - text file, Excel spreadsheet, or Access database.  The conduit also handles the download of configurations (or Forms) to the handheld.

4. Palm Program - the Palm program does the actual data collection, and is the gauge reader for the system.  You can also define your Parts on the Palm for quick changes in the field.
