After you have transferred data from the display to the USB:
1. Remove the USB drive from the display.
2.
Insert the USB drive into your computer.
If you place the files in a series of folders, the combined filename and folder path may become
too long and the operating system may not allow you to open the files. To avoid this, it is
recommended that you place data in your computer’s C:\ folder.
3.
Copy the appropriate folder to the office computer using an application such as Windows
®
Explorer. This copies all the sub-folders and files in the folder.
Note – When you copy or move files using Windows Explorer, you must keep all the shape-files (.dbf,
.shp, and .shx) together so that office software can open the theme file. To ensure that the files stay
together, always copy the entire folder rather than just the individual files.
4. If you create a new event in a field, and you already have the\Field\ folder containing any
previous events on the office computer, you should still copy the \Field\ folder so that the new
EventHistory information is copied.
