THE PALMPILOT Background and Information The PalmPilot was an early, successful example of a handheld, mobile computing device in the 1990s. Also known as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). It allowed people to keep track of their appointments and contacts and take notes using handwriting recognition software. The PalmPilot was carefully designed to meet user needs—if it did not, it would not have been all that useful or popular. Other handhelds had tried and failed on the market already. It was designed to connect easily with a user’s home computer—most users of PalmPilots also had desktop computers that they did much of their work on. Palm was successful as an accessory to the PC, not as its replacement. People interacted with the PalmPilot using a stylus, a pen they could use to write and select features. No keyboard or touchscreen, just the pen. During the prototyping process, engineers thought through how people would use it, how many steps would it take to get to different features, was it easy to use for notetaking, etc. Several prototypes were created: • Wooden prototype: Used by Jeff Hawkins, who pretended to take notes in meetings. • “Tethered prototype”: Let engineers develop software for the PalmPilot before the production units were available. • Keyboard-based model: Unsure if the stylus would be popular, PalmPilot engineers tested this version as well. The PalmPilot also had handwriting recognition software. To improve accuracy, Palm engineers created a simplified alphabet called Graffiti that users had to learn. The new alphabet frustrated some users, but really caught on for others. .

Datalogger Support Software for Palm OS-Based Pdas Pconnect 2.1
Datalogger Support Software for Palm OS-based PDAs PConnect 2.1 PConnect software supports communications between a Palm OS-based PDA and a Campbell Scientific datalogger via a USB-to-serial connection. PConnect 2.1 is compatible with Palm OS-based PDAs with OS version 3.3 or greater, includ- ing Palm™ Inc., handhelds, and Handspring™ Visor Neo and Platinum. Compatible dataloggers are our CR500, CR510, CR10(X), 21X, CR23X, and CR7. The software uses a binary, error-checked, data retrieval protocol. It stores the data in the PDA using a binary format which conserves memory. The data is converted to an ASCII comma-separated format on the PC as part of the HotSync process. The HotSync process also synchronizes datalogger programs between the PDA and PC. New Features in Version 2.1 • Supports communications with Campbell Scientific’s RF400-series Spread Spectrum Radio Modems. This allows the PDA to communicate with remote dataloggers, over distances supported by our spread spectrum telemetry. • Supports communications with the SC-IRDA. The SC-IRDA is an infrared device that fits into an enclosure compression fitting. It allows a PDA to communicate with a datalogger over a distance of a few feet. One possible application is to use the PDA to communicate with a datalogger housed in an enclosure without opening the enclosure door. The SC-IRDA is not yet available. • Allows use of memory expansion cards to expand the PDA’s memory. • Upgrade PConnect version 2.0 to version 2.1 via the PConnect patch available at no charge from www.campbellsci.com/resource.html Functions Supported PConnect 2.1 retains all the functionality of the previous versions including the capability to: • Create unique station files for each datalogger • Collect data from the datalogger (Since Last Time, All, Last # of Records) • Transfer datalogger programs between the datalogger and PDA • Communicate at baud rates of 38,400 bps (CR23X datalogger) and 9,600 bps (all other dataloggers) via a USB-to-serial cable • Display real-time datalogger measurements.
