Many of you have asked me to give a simple "how to" on this process. Here are my instructions:

PDA to PC in a read-friendly format

1. Log data from a selected measuring block. As the data is being logged, it automatically saved to the Memo Pad on the PDA.

2. Perform a Hot Sync from the PDA to your PC. All contents of the memo Pad will be transferred. Individual logs will show as line listings on the Palm Desktop.

3. Click on the individual logs to view them.

4. Copy the existing information into notepad, and save as a text (.txt) file.

5. Open MS Excel, and then open the text file.

6. When asked what the type of data is, choose "delimited". Then click Next.

7. Under the "delimiters" heading, select "Semi-Colon" and deselect "Tab". Then click Next, then Finish to complete the process.

8. Adjust the width of the columns to fit the contents, then save as an excel file.

You should now have an easy to read document, around 20-30 KB in size.

when i try to sync my palm, it does all the processes, but never ends up transfering the memo pad files onto the computer... which program am i supposed to use on my computer, the palm desktop or what?
