Uploading Tracking Data from the Barcode Reader/PDA

To upload Tracking data from a barcode reader or PDA into Pinnacle:

1. Run the Asset Module.

2. On the barcode reader or PDA, follow the prompts to transfer Tracking data to Pinnacle. For a PDA, this will involve a synchronisation of data from the PDA to your computer. See your PDA manual for information on how to synchronise a PDA with a computer.

3. If you are using a barcode reader, choose Upload Data>Tracking from the Interface menu in Pinnacle.

   If you are using a PDA, choose Upload Data>All from the Interface menu in Pinnacle.

4. If you are using a barcode reader, Pinnacle will upload the data from the barcode reader. The system will then display the asset tracking data window where you can select which movement records you want to process.

   If you are using a PDA, Pinnacle will ask if you want to process the upload file from synchronisation. Click Yes. Pinnacle will then automatically process all movement records.

Data should be cleared from the barcode reader or PDA after each upload. If data is not cleared, each movement entry will be processed again the next time the upload process is carried out. Follow the barcode reader or PDA prompts to clear data.
