Abstract
The data transfer device is a hand-held device which includes a communication port and a port for accepting a rewriteable, removable memory card. The device further includes a microcontroller with an operating system capable of executing a file stored on the removable member card. The removable memory card is capable of receiving an executable file with a plurality of preprogrammed data transfer functions as well as storing data for transfer between the device and an IED. A user interface includes input members for accepting user instructions for selecting a data transfer function and a display for indicating the status of functions selected by the user.
