processing data on pc from pda

[lav]

hi,
im looking to acquire data using wired sensors connected to a Cf-6004 on an ipaq. please can someone tell me how i would go about streaming data to a PC also running labview to process it, either constantly as data is acquired or by batch where the data is acquired on the pda and then transfered to the PC for processing.
I dont need a really technical answer at the moment, just the jist of how i would go about doing such a thing
thanks

Hi Andy,

It depends on a few factors, firstly distance i.e. bluetooth and wireless both have different distances from which they can operate, and also what other features your PDA has included in it.

Ontop of that you can then work out which method is best, sending data in 1 go every nth seconds or streaming it live to a computer, plenty examples of TCP/IP and bluetooth exist under LabVIEW examples (Help > Find Examples > Search)

Once you can narrow down the communications protocol you wish to use I can help you further,

Thanks,

thanks for the reply,
ive had a play around with labview now and i'm looking at sending the data in one go [possibly as an lvm?], how would i go about actually transferring the file to the vi on the other computer for processing? also how could this be done for streaming data to the other computer?
thanks
