F2 Transferring One or More Noggin PCX Files to an External PC
using WinPXFER
There are two ways of using the PXFER cable and the WinPXFER software to transfer Noggin
data to an external computer. The first is to transfer one or more screens (or buffers) of data as a
single PCX graphics file. This method is described in this section. The second way of transferring
data files to an external computer is to copy all the individual SPI (PCX) files from the DVL (see
Section F1: p.1). This method is useful when the user wants to view the data on an external
computer using the Win_SpiView software.

The data transfer function can only be used after the parallel XFER cable has been
connected from the DVL to the external computer and after the WinPXFER program has
been installed on the external computer and run. Section F1: p.1 describes how to attach
the parallel XFER cable and also how to install and run the WinPXFER program.

Once WinPXFER has been run on the external computer, it is ready to receive data image files
from the Digital Video Logger.
from the Digital Video Logger.
On the Digital Video Logger, after the Print option is selected, the user must define the section to
be printed. The left edge of the page must be established first. This is done by lining up the left
edge of the Digital Video Logger screen with the edge of the plot desired. Use the arrow buttons
on the screen to move the section back and forth. A single arrow moves the image 8 pixels either
right ($), or left (#). A double arrow will move the image 640 pixels or 1 full page to the right (%)
or left (&). A single arrow with a vertical line will move the section either to the start (y#), or end
($y) of the section. If the start or end of section button is pressed, the image will page through
one screen at a time. Data scrolling can be stopped by pressing any button. Once the left edge is
in place, pressing the OK button will lock the left edge of the plot.

The right edge of the plot must now be defined the same as the left, however now using the right
edge of the Digital Video Logger screen. Note that the right edge cannot exceed the left edge.

Next, select a name for the image file from the options CART-1 to CART-4. As long as the
WinPXFER program is running on the external PC, the file will be transferred to the current
directory indicated by WinPXFER. When the data image file transfer is complete, the user will
find a data image (CART-n.PCX) file on the external computer in the current directory.

When the data transfer is complete, on the external computer, exit from the WinPXFER program.
