You use the Device Data Transfer Console window in PI Manual Logger PC to transfer data manually between the PI Manual Logger PC database and mobile databases.
Users should wait until ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center has recognized that a device is connected and cradled before they open the Device Data Transfer Console window. Otherwise, PI Manual Logger may prompt them for a location if the first entry in the Mobile Database Location Setup window is Load from mobile device.

After a data transfer is complete, a tour run can remain on the device under the following conditions:

-
If the Number of tour runs per tour to retain on the device after transfer value on the Send Options tab in the Device Data Transfer Options window is greater than zero.
