Software
Desktop connectivity software included
All packages come with Desktop connectivity hardware and software to easily manage the transaction data. Just connect IDScanner to a PC with provided cable or cradle, press the Hotsync button, and transaction data is quickly downloaded to your PC. The Desktop software from Palm software runs on both Windows and Mac computers.
Exporting transaction data in tab separated or comma separated format is as simple as highlighting the desired transactions, selecting File and then Export. Once saved, it is a snap to import into hundreds of desktop applications like Microsoft Excel, Access, ACT2000™, Goldmine™, etc.
Export Utility
There are two methods to moving the license data from the Palm Desktop to Microsoft Excel. The first method involves manually exporting the data from the Palm Desktop to a text file and then opening the file using the import wizard of Microsoft Excel. In mid-2007, MemoPad2CSV software for the PC was introduced. It automates the process and most users will find it easier than the original method detailed below. It is about 28 MB in size and is found on the CardVisor CD which ships with the product and here.
