Downloaded Files will be stored on the Pocket PC or PDA under a folder named “Centurion Downloads”.  

Note: the Centurion Software installed onto your PC may not be able to view files on your Pocket PC or PDA.

It will be necessary to manually copy the files from your device to a known location on your PC and then Manually import files from within the Centurion Software Program.  You will need to point to where you saved a copy of the downloaded data from your Pocket PC or PDA.

With the variety of PDA devices on the market today, the actual steps to configure the Bluetooth on each possible device are not in the scope of this document.  The scope of this document is for the configuration of Centurion Lite to communicate with our Bluetooth enabled counters and classifiers.
