File Maintenance and Editing Reports
Uploading Job Reports from a USB to the Slingshot Web Site
Note:
Do not use the Automatic File Maintenance feature to create reports for a Slingshot
account.
The Automatic File Maintenance feature does not export the types to a USB flash drive necessary
for creating Slingshot reports and will remove job data from the Viper Pro. Job data transferred
using the Automatic File Maintenance feature cannot be reinstalled onto the field computer for
export to Slingshot. Refer to the USB File Transfer and Advanced File Maintenance section on
page 219 for instructions on outputting the necessary file types.
1. Insert the USB flash drive into a home or office PC and login to the Raven Slingshot web site at:
www.ravenslingshot.com

3. Click on ‘Log In’ in the upper, right corner of the site.

the local computer for files to upload to the Slingshot web site.

stores transfers the files to the “X:\RDE\Outbox” directory when performing USB or automatic file
maintenance where “X” is the drive letter assigned by the computer to the connected flash drive.
