Chapter 1 General Comments
1.1 Introduction Congratulations on having purchased the FA-127 a powerful program package that links your CASIO Digital Diary to a personal computer and opens up a whole world of opportunities. The FA-127 makes your data management extremely easy. The functions of the various CASIO Digital Diaries have been integrated to suit standard Windows conventions, so that it'll take you very little time to get used to the program. The simple selection of database areas through index bars, as well as clearly structured 3D dialogs, toolbars with self-explanatory icons and context-sensitive Help will enable you to feel at home with the program in no time at all. The main purpose of the program is to exchange data between two systems a CASIO Digital Diary and a Windows PC. The FA-127 provides a variety of transmission options, so that you can choose between selective and complete data transmission. The program also gives you extensive editing and processing facilities, so that you can easily transfer data to and from other Windows applications. The innovative index bar allows you to select database areas much faster and more conveniently than with the usual menus. To increase the clarity of the index bar (area tabs), all Appointment areas have been summarized in a further index which is only shown when needed. Here is a simple example of how you can use the FA-127 in the day-to-day running of your office: during the day you may be out collecting information on your CASIO Digital Diary, new customers' addresses, for example. Meanwhile your secretary plans your appointments on the PC. When you get back to the office in the evening, all you need to do is transfer the new addresses from your CASIO Digital Diary to the PC and add the new appointments to the Schedule area in your CASIO Digital Diary. The FA-127 is the missing link between a central computer and a CASIO Digital Diary, so that both systems benefit from an extension of their opportunities. Your connection kit should contain the following items. Check to make sure that each item is present. One CD One cable One installation guide 1.2 Note on the Documentation The documentation comes in two parts - this User's Guide and the Online Help System. The User's Guide gives you all the basics required for working with the FA-127. However, your main source of information will be the Online Help System. Any contextoriented questions that come up while you're working with the FA-127 can be answered at the press of a button. You will find a detailed description of the Help System in Chapter 4, "How to Use Online Help".

A number of Digital Diaries have several Appointment areas summarized in the area tab called "Appointments", while other Digital Diaries have only one Appointment area called "Schedule". Whenever the area is called "Appointments", it is further subdivided into "Schedule", "Reminder", "Reminder 2", "Anniversary" and/or "To-do". These sub-areas are accessible through the vertical area tabs to the right of the Calendar. Note, however, that if the main area itself is called "Schedule", then it has no further subdivision. 1.2.1 List of Symbols Our documentation contains the following symbols: [ < ] > Button in the FA-127. Key or combination of keys on your PC, e.g. <Alt D> <N> means: press <Alt> and <D> simultaneously, followed by <N>. A key on your CASIO Digital Diary, e.g. "TEL". A file name on disk (i.e. hard disk or floppy). A selectable menu item on your PC.

1.2.2 Different CASIO Models To make the FA-127 more convenient, the user interface of the program automatically adjusts itself to the CASIO model you have specified. As we do not want to confuse you with the functions of other CASIO models, the FA-127 only offers you the functions that are available on your own Digital Diary. As a result, the screen display on your PC may sometimes vary from the relevant illustration in this manual. So when a particular screenshot does not match your own display, please remember that this is not due to a mistake on our part but to a deliberate feature in the program. Example: The CASIO SF-8900 has an Expense area, the CASIO SF-4600 does not. If you have selected the model "SF-8900" in the FA-127, then the program will have a tab called Expense, which is automatically hidden if you have specified "SF-4600" as a model. 1.3 Minimum Desktop Computer Requirements The following system configuration is required for FA-127. Operating System Windows XP Home Edition/Professional Windows Me Windows 2000 Professional Windows 98/98 Second Edition Windows 95 Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or later) CD-ROM drive for software installation 9-pin COM Port (serial port) RAM 64MB 32MB 64MB 24MB 16MB 32MB Processor Pentium 233MHz Pentium 150MHz Pentium 150MHz Pentium 150MHz Pentium 75MHz Pentium 150MHz

Chapter 2 Linking the CASIO Digital Diary to Your PC
2.1 Connecting the Interface Cable Beware: Before linking your CASIO Digital Diary to your PC using the interface cable, make sure they are both turned off, as you might otherwise damage the units or the cable.

2.1.1 Connecting the Cable to Your PC First make sure Your PC is off ! Insert the cable into your PC's serial port (RS-232C), called COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4.
Check the serial port on the back of your PC. If the connector on the interface cable that comes with this kit does not match it, you will have to get an adaptor. Make sure you follow any instructions specified in your PC operating manual.
Linking the CASIO Digital Diary to Your PC 2.1.2 Connecting the Cable to Your CASIO Digital Diary First make sure Your CASIO Digital Diary is off !
Having turned off your Digital Diary, insert the cable into the data communications jack on the right or left-hand side of the Digital Diary (see CASIO Manual). Remove the cover from the jack, so that it becomes accessible.
Carefully insert the plug into the jack. Do not use force! The plug should just slot into place with a slight click.

Working with the FA-127

Chapter 3 Working with the FA-127
3.1 Installing the FA-127 on Your PC Start Windows and insert CD-ROM of the FA-127 into a drive of your PC. Select Run from the Start menu, and in the dialog box that appears, enter "d:\setup" and click on [OK].
If you use a disk drive other than "d:", insert whichever letter is appropriate here. Next, follow the online instructions of the installation program. 3.2 First Steps This chapter gives you a number of examples, to illustrate the use of the program. Each example is based on the preceding one and can easily be followed on your computer. If you require further details about each function, use the context-sensitive Online Help System. An introduction to this system can be found in Chapter 4. Note: As the examples involve data transmission, we suggest that you connect the cable to the two units before running the program, following the instructions given in Chapter 2.
Working with the FA-127 3.2.1 Running the Program
Once the program has been correctly installed, you can run it with the mouse in the usual way. Open the group called "FA-127" in Program Manager, and double click on the program of the same name. After a short while the following screen is presented:

Title Bar Menu Bar Toolbar Area Tabs
Status Bar List Window View Window
The title bar, next to the program name, contains the file name under which your current data has been saved to disk. The menu bar underneath the title bar allows you to call up all the functions of the program. The name and content of the third menu depends on the current database area. We shall refer to it as the "area-specific menu". A number of options from the menu bar are repeated on the toolbar, in the form of icons. These are the most frequent functions, and the purpose of the toolbar is to give you more convenient access to them. Appendix B of this manual contains a complete list of all toolbar icons and their functions. The display window shows the data currently in the memory of your PC. It is divided into two sections - the List Window and the View Window. The Appointment area also has a calendar display which will be explained at a later stage. In the List Window, several records (i.e. entries) are presented below one another, one per line, whereas the View Window displays the selected record. The ratio between the List Window and the View Window can be changed with the vertical dividing line between them. To change the size of the two windows, simply move the line to the left or right with the mouse.
To change any other settings of the two windows, such as column width, font and font size, go to the area-specific menu: 'List Window Layout.' and 'View Window Layout.' or 'Options': 'List Window Font.' and 'View Window Font.'. If you press one of the alphanumeric keys in the main window, the selection automatically goes to the first record that starts with the relevant character. To edit a record, double-click on it. The Editor is opened, where you can now make any changes that are required. We shall come back to the Editor later, illustrating it with an example. The top edge and under Appointments the right-hand edge of the display window contains the area tabs to determine which database area you are in at the moment. To display a different area, simply click on the relevant tab. Which database areas are available depends on the CASIO model that has been selected (cf. 'Options': 'Digital Diary.'). If you have large amounts of data, you can scroll up and down in the database area with the slider. Either click on the relevant scroll arrow or place the scroll box in the desired position. The status bar contains a brief note on the current screen situation as well as two figures indicating the number of records in the current database area and the number of marked records in this area. The status bar also shows information, depending on the selected CASIO model. The tool bar, area tabs and status bar can be shown or hidden via the 'Options' menu. If, say, you want to display as many records as possible, you may find it useful to hide some of the bars. The Calendar The structure of the FA-127 Calendar is similar to that of the CASIO Digital Diary. When you change over to the Appointments or Schedule area, the Calendar always displays the current month. The current date is framed, the selected date has a coloured background, and marked dates are shown in bold or coloured characters. Calendar markings can be set or deleted for entire months with the two functions 'Mark Days.' / 'Unmark Days.' in the 'Schedule/Appointments' menu. To mark or unmark a single date, hold down <Shift> or <Ctrl> and select the relevant date with the mouse. Alternatively, you can toggle calendar markings with the <Spacebar>. To mark whole lines or columns of the current month, hold down <Shift> or <Ctrl> and click on the relevant calendar week or weekday. Dates that have an entry in the Schedule, are marked with a dot in the Calendar. A dot at the top means an a.m. appointment, and a dot at the bottom a p.m. appointment. To maintain clarity, no markings are given for days with Reminder or Anniversary items. The left margin of the Calendar gives you the calendar week. The three figures at the bottom edge of the Calendar tell you the number of days that have elapsed since the

beginning of the year, the number of days that are still left this year, and the calendar week of the selected date (with a coloured background). The Calendar goes from 1 January 1901 to 31 December 2099. The selection marking can be moved with the arrow keys or set with the mouse. The selection of a month can be set with the scroll bar on the right edge of the Calendar. To scroll back and forth a month at a time, click on the up/down arrows of the scroll bar. To browse whole years, click between the arrows and the slider. You can also position the slider directly with the mouse. To access a date through manual entry, select the function 'Schedule/Appointments': 'Goto Date.'. and enter the date. Set the first day of the week via 'Schedule/Appointments': 'First Day Of The Week'. A double click on a given date in the Calendar has the effect of creating a new entry for that date. The Editor is opened, and you can enter your data. 3.2.2 Transmitting Data from a CASIO Digital Diary to a PC In this example we want to transmit the entire content of your CASIO Digital Diary to your PC and then save it to disk. If you have not done so yet, link up the two units with the cable, as described in Chapter 2. Note that the two units cannot communicate unless you have set the relevant Digital Diary model and coordinated its transmission setup with that of the CASIO Digital Diary. Not all models have a transmission setup. Setting the CASIO Digital Diary Model This setting tells the program which model you are using, so that it adjusts itself exactly to the specific qualities of your diary. The details include, for instance, the names of the available database areas, the Editor width, the transmission speed, etc. Call up the function entitled 'Digital Diary' in the 'Options' menu. A dialog box is presented, prompting you to select the relevant CASIO Digital Diary. Choose [OK] to confirm your selection. The Transmission Setup Once you have selected the Digital Diary model, you need to specify the relevant transmission setup. Select 'Transmission Setup' from the 'Casio' menu. A dialog box is presented, prompting you to specify the [Serial Port] to which the cable is connected. Next, select the setup for the Baud Rate, Parity and Word Length (i.e. bit length) that are relevant to your Digital Diary. The default values given here are the ones which the Digital Diary port would have after a RESET. Normally, you can leave this setup unchanged. If a Digital Diary allows a maximum baud rate of 4800, then the default is set to 2400, as these Digital Diaries can only transmit correctly at 2400 Baud.

To compare settings, we recommend that you open the transmission setup display on your Digital Diary (cf. also Appendix C). Some models have a fixed Baud rate. Note: It is extremely important that both units should have the same transmission setup. Otherwise, transmission may be faulty. Choose [OK] to confirm your settings. You are now ready for transmission. Saving Your Settings Both settings the Digital Diary model and the transmission setup usually have to be made only once, after installing the program. Later, when you leave the program in the normal way, the values are automatically saved and will be available for all future occasions. Data Transmission Preparations for transmission are now concluded. From the 'Casio' menu choose 'Receive From Casio.'
As we want to transmit all the available database areas, click on the [All] button in the right-hand section of the dialog box. Under "Scope" select [All Items], and under "Mode" [Append]. Before starting transmission on your PC with [OK], you need to prepare your Digital Diary for the sending of all data. You can find the relevant key presses in Appendix C. To start transmission, press [OK] on your PC, followed by the appropriate on the Digital Diary. Note: Always start transmission on the unit to which you intend to transmit. This is important to avoid loss of data.
During reception a status box is displayed, telling you how far transmission has progressed. To stop transmission on the PC, choose [Abort], and on the Digital Diary either or. If transmission is aborted on one unit, then the other unit automatically stops, too. This behaviour may vary from one model to another. If the secret (i.e. password-protected) area of your Digital Diary also contains data which you want to transmit, read the section entitled "Working with Secret Data". 3.2.3 Saving Data To save data to disk immediately after transmission, without further editing, choose 'File': 'Save'. A file selector box is presented, prompting you to enter the desired file name and path under which you want to save your data to disk (e.g. c:\data\private.twf). Unless otherwise specified, the FA-127 automatically adds the extension ".twf". We recommend that you do not enter an extension, unless you specifically want to use some other extension. The FA-127 will respect your decision, though we do suggest that you only use ".twf". As soon as you have specified a file name and path, choose [OK] to start saving to disk. If the file name already exists, a query is presented, asking you whether you wish to overwrite the existing file. Note: If the mode you save to a file has more than 16,000 entries, you may not be able to open the file. 3.2.4 Loading Data In this section we want to comment briefly on the reading of files that have been saved to disk. Loading TWF files To load a file, choose 'File': 'Open.'. The same file selector box is presented that is also used for saving data. It contains a list of all the files with the extension "twf" in the current directory. If you want to display file names with other extensions, specify the relevant mask directly under "File name" or select one of the predefined masks via "List files of type". Next, set the path and name of the desired file and choose [OK]. The relevant file is now read in and displayed in the display window of the database area that was active when the file was last saved. Loading Data from Other Link Programs If you own another link program that does not allow you to load data directly, then the simplest way of reading its data is to transmit it from the other link program back to the CASIO Digital Diary and then to the FA-127.

If the mouse pointer takes this form during a drag-and-drop attempt, then the relevant records cannot be pasted to their intended destination. Drag & Drop with Data Files from the File Manager In the Windows File Manager, select one or more the FA-127 files (normally with the extension ".twf") and drag them onto the FA-127 program window or icon. They are automatically loaded by the program. Marking Records Finally, we want to mark all the records of the Telephone Directory. The same method of marking is also available on some CASIO Digital Diary models. Using the area tabs or choosing 'View': 'Telephone', go to the Telephone Directory. To select all the records in the List Window you could, of course, select each of them individually, as described in the previous section. However, you can do this more quickly via 'Edit': 'Select All'. Next, to mark all the selected records in the List Window, choose 'Edit': 'Toggle Mark Flag'. 3.2.6 Entering New Appointment Items Entering records into one of the Appointment areas entitled Schedule, Reminder 1/2, Anniversary or To-do, basically follows the same principles as entering data into the Telephone Directory. The only difference is that, next to the text fields, there are also fields which are specially designed for dates and times. If you want certain fields (especially Schedule, Reminder 1 or 2) to remain empty, e.g. to distinguish between monthly and daily Reminder items, deactivate the relevant field. If, say, you deactivate the month field in the Reminders Editor, then the item will be presented every day. Furthermore, you can automatically create a new item for the selected day in the current database area by double-clicking on a certain date. This has the effect of opening the Editor where you can complete your data. 3.2.7 Finding Records In this section we want to search through the Telephone Directory and find all the Smiths in Birmingham. Go to the Telephone Directory via the area tabs or 'View': 'Telephone'. Choose 'Search': 'Search.', where a dialog box is presented. Under "Search For" enter "Smith" as a search string. Under "Search Scope" specify: [Search Current Area Only], as we only want to search through the Telephone Directory. As we do not want to distinguish capital and small letters in our search, leave the field [Match Case] deactivated (i.e. unchecked). This means that the program will also find items such as "SMITH", all in capitals. To start searching, choose [OK]. The List Window will now display only records that have the name "Smith" in them.

Working with the FA-127 Note:
Always start transmission on the unit to which you intend to transmit. This is important to avoid loss of data. During transmission a status box is displayed, telling you how far the operation has progressed. To stop transmission on the PC, choose [Abort], and on the Digital Diary or. If transmission is aborted on one unit, the other unit automatieither cally stops, too. Note that once data has been received by the CASIO Digital Diary, it is appended to the existing records. Doubles are not normally automatically erased, though some Digital Diaries (such as the SF-M10, SF-R10 and SF-R20) do recognize them in certain areas and reject them. These Digital Diaries only count the records on their displays that are actually accepted, while rejects are counted in the bottom right-hand corner "(REJECTED 0)". 3.2.10 Working with Secret Data Like some CASIO Digital Diaries, the FA-127 also has its own area for secret data. The only difference between open and secret data is that the latter requires a password query, which is presented when you try to access to this area. Go to 'View': 'Secret Area'. If you are doing this for the first time, then a dialog box is presented, prompting you to enter the relevant password. The program displays an asterisk for each character that is entered. As this is your first time in this area, your input is understood by the program as the definition of a password. As soon as you choose [OK], a further dialog box is therefore opened, asking you to confirm your password. Do make sure that you enter your password without typing errors and that you remember it well. Once entered, the password is saved permanently when the file itself is saved to disk. A password only ever relates to the current file (i.e. the current window). It does not apply globally to the entire program. Password input and confirmation are not case-sensitive, i.e. no distinction is made between small and capital letters. You can change the password for a file via 'File': 'Change Password'. As we mentioned above, the only difference between a secret and open area is the password query. All other functions are identical. Especially with a view to data transmission, though, it is worth remembering that both the CASIO Digital Diary and the FA-127 treat secret and open data of a database area (e.g. Telephone Directory, Business Cards, etc.) as totally independent and separate from one another. On both unit any transmission therefore concerns either secret or open data (but not both) depending on the currently active area at the time of transmission - unless you have explicitly specified that the secret data, for instance, should be appended to the open data.

This overview is also accessible from the [Contents] button of the toolbar in the Help window. To choose a topic, click on the relevant picture with the mouse or press <Tab> followed by <Enter>. This opens up a list of subtopics. The text also contains key words with detailed help that can be viewed with a mouse click or <Tab> plus <Enter>. The key words are underlined and in a different colour. You can obtain a chapter overview on each topic by clicking on the icon to the left of the title, at the top. A submenu is presented. To get to any of the topics listed there, simply click on the relevant item. 4.2 How to Find Certain Help Topics If you want to find a specific Help topic, you needn't go through the entire Help System by hand. Simply choose 'Help': 'Contents' and then [Search] on the toolbar in the Help window. This calls up a search dialog where you can enter the required key word or select it from a list. 4.3 Printing a Help Topic To put the currently selected Help topic on paper, simply choose 'File': 'Print Topic.'. 4.4 Quitting the Help System The Help window can be closed any time by choosing 'File': 'Exit'.
