5.3 Downloading data to a PC
By this stage, if all has gone well there will be a sequence of records stored in the SMT-200 memory.
These are quite safe and can only be erased by going into the file menu to erasing the data. More
often that not the data will need to be downloaded to a PC and from there possibly to a spreadsheet.
This is covered in detail in Section 4 but in brief :
1. Turn the SMT-200 off.
2. Connect the Docking Station to the SMT-200 and to the mains power supply.
3. Switch ON the Docking Station.
4. Leave the SMT-200 switched OFF.
5. Start the Docking Station program, C:\SMT200\SMT200DS.
6. Close the Opening Info window by pressing Enter (it times out after 10 s).
7. Select file transfer with Alt-T.
8. The SMT-200 will be powered-on and start the file exchange. The entire process could take a few
moments so please wait for it to complete.
9. Once the exchange is successfully completed the program prompts you to ‘Save DATA as’.
10. Select an appropriate name for the file (default is data001.prn).
11. The file is an ASCII text file with the fields separated by tabs. A typical example is shown below.
12. Should the transfer fail at stage 8 the best recovery action is to WAIT. The SMT-200 and the
Docking Station will detect the failure and time-out. From this point the SMT-200 will turn itself off.
Failure to do this may result in corrupted data or worse.

13. This tab delimited file format is suitable for direct importation of data into most spreadsheet
programs and data will be correctly import into adjacent columns.
The text file shown above is the result of a typical set of geophone tests. RC gives the reject code.
Under the Tests heading the information ABCI shows the test that were run:
