9.4 About DataLink DL- 01 Software

DataLink DL-01 Software version 2.1 allows you to send collected data
by R-100 to other devices, to receive coordinates data, and to convert
the resulting files into a number of common formats.
a) Recommendation for "PN"
It is recommended that "PN" (Point Name) data should consist of less or
equal to 4 (one-byte) numeric characters to convert files with DL-01.
Because, it may not be converted properly if alphabetic characters or
more than 5 (one-byte) numeric characters are used for the "PN".
b) Notes for the data transferring.
Please, be careful about following items for the data transfer with "DL-01".
b-1 Recommendation for the upgrade to latest version PTL.
With PTL after Ver.333, "POLAR DATA" can be transferred by "DC1" or "AUX" format.
And it is possible DL-01 to receive/convert "POLAR DATA" with "DC1(DC-1Z)" format.
b-2 Notes for unit.
If you are requested to select unit when you convert data on DL-01,
please select unit according to the settings on R-100.
b-3 Limitation for each format.
Please, use "CSV" or "DC1( DC-1Z) " format to transfer data to/from R-100.
Limitation for the "CSV" format.
With the "CSV" format, "PN" and "PC" (Point Code) data consist of less
or equal to 15 (one-byte) characters can be transferred.
Limitations for the "DC1(DC-1Z)" format.
With "DC1(DC-1Z)" format, the length of "PN" data should consist of less
or equal to 11 (one-byte) characters. And with the "DC1(DC-1Z)" format
"PC" data can not be transferred.
