Hi,

I've got a situation with my dataTaker program. I'm using the DataTaker to store the values of holes being dug into the ground. I've programmed it to unload data into a .csv file every time a hole is dug, with the file name being the coordinate of the holes. So, I would have files such as XX1YY1.csv, XX2YY1.csv, etc. being created in the 'b:\' drive. I'm able to access it using the FTP server.

My question is, is there any method/code for me to copy these exact files created into my thumb drive when its inserted into the DT80?

When I use the COPYD command, it unloads from the dbd file. Hence, I lose my file naming system. I'm able to use the COPY "source" "dest" command, but I can only transfer one file at a time. Is there a possibility of me transferring the whole folder?

I hope somebody could help shed some light unto this.
Thank you.

Good morning arivan.g,

As the DT80 doesn't support wild cards there is no way to automatically copy CSV files to USB.

Tq Roger. Is there a way to copy the whole folder instead?

Good morning Roger,

Thanks for the information. Would you have any ideas on how I could work my around this?

Thank you.

Good afternoon arivan.g,

I would look at archiving each file as a DBD so the DT80 can keep track of the files and use multiple unloads to get the data.

Another way is to keep each section of data identified with a string variable and separating the actions latter.

Cheers

Roger
