If PsiWin has difficulty establishing the link to the Workabout at any stage,

powering down PsiWin and the Workabout and physically remaking the RS232

connections before running them again may clear the problem.

Don't forget to turn off the remote link in the Workabout when you have finished.

SLINK and RCOM

The procedure

For maximum safety, to start with, close down all other applications on the PC, and

run everything from the DOS prompt whilst you do this.

Both programs follow a similar procedure in general.

♦ On your PC, copy the RCOM and SLINK files on to your hard disk if you have

not already done so by following the Getting Started section in the User Manual.

♦ On the Workabout, exit the SunData s/w, and set up the Remote Link parameters

in the Psion's system.

♦ Connect the Workabout comms cable between the RS232 port on the Workabout

and the COM1 serial port on your PC. (If you can't use COM1 you must refer to

the program documentation to enable it to use COM2).

♦ Run whichever program you have chosen, and copy the appropriate files across.

Verify that the file names now appear in the new directories.

♦ Exit from the transfer program on your PC.

♦ Close down the Remote Link on the Workabout.

Example using SLINK

SLINK lets you initiate all the file transfer commands from the Workabout's screens

and menus. Consult the earlier section More Psion and file handling notes first if

you are not adequately familiar with the Psion's routines.

On the Workabout:

♦ Exit from the SunData application (if necessary) by pressing

∪

∪∪

∪+X.

♦ In the System Screen, press Menu, Spec, Remote Link, and press Enter. Set the

Remote link to On, Baud rate to 9600, and the Port to A. Press Enter to accept.

♦ Connect the RS232 port at the top right of the Workabout to the PC’s COM1

serial port with the SunScan comms cable.

On your PC:

♦ Exit Windows. From the DOS prompt, in the directory holding

SLINK.EXE,

type:

SLINK ↵

↵↵

↵

You will get an SLINK acknowledgement like this (or similar):

Press Q to Quit

As an example, let us consider how to transfer a new version of the SunData

program to the Workabout from your PC. We will assume you have already copied

the program file

SunData.app into a directory called C:\SUNSCAN\PSION on your

Hard Disk.

The same process can be used if you need to re-load the SunData program for any

reason.

SunData.app needs to run from a subdirectory \SUN\ on the Internal drive. You

must create this, if it is not already present.

On the Workabout:
