Pre-installation considerations

Mobile device communication application

If you plan to use Windows Mobile devices to manually collect data with PI Manual Logger (PIML) Mobile, install the mobile device communication application (ActiveSync or WMDC) that is appropriate for your system (see Mobile device prerequisites). This must be installed and running on the PC before you can use a mobile device to collect data.

Guest Only mode or partnership

In the mobile device communication application, you can choose the Guest Only mode or set up a partnership. Use a partnership if you want to synchronize information that is unrelated to PI Manual Logger between the device and the computer, such as calendar, inbox, contacts, files, and so forth. Note that Partnership synchronization is more time consuming. Also, if you do set up a partnership, you must indicate this in the PI Manual Logger AutoSync application, if you are using it.

Previous version already installed

If you have a previous version of PI Manual Logger Mobile installed on your mobile device, transfer all remaining data to the desktop using ActiveSync or WMDC, and then remove the previous version. For more information, see Upgrade PI Manual Logger for Windows Mobile devices.
