7.6 Transferring a File from a PC
The PM880 enables you to transfer site (.sit) and meter (.met) files from
your PC to the meter. If you rename another type of file with one of these
extensions and transfer it, it will be transferred, but will not function if you
open it.
Note: The PM880 IR function is already setup for IrDA infrared
communication. To change IR settings, Setting Up PM880 IR
Communications on page 110.
The transfer procedure differs depending on your PC’s operating system.
Use the appropriate section that follows to transfer files:
IMPORTANT: If you transfer a file and the meter already has a file with the
identical name, the meter will overwrite its current file with
the transferred file. If the transferred file has a name longer
than eight characters, the meter will shorten the name to eight
characters. It will also replace any spaces in the name with
underbars.
