Ahh, gotcha now. You download them using Ballot Station. Those “election specific files” are just a (that is, any) PCMCIA card from the vote center. Any PCMCIA card from the vote center can be inserted into the PCC, and voila, the PCC takes on that personality. So the sequence of events is: Download all the PCMCIA cards for a vote center using a ballot station. That will usually mean 3-6 cards, depending on how many machines they put in a polling place. Take one of those cards (any one), and insert it into the PCC. After it is loaded, take the PCMCIA card and put it in whatever AVTS machine it belongs in. The PCC doesn’t need the card once it is loaded.

Let me try again. How do you create the election specific files that need to go onto the PCC for a given vote center so that you can encode cards for those ballot styles?

From: Lesley Thompson [mailto:lesley@gesn.com] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 5:36 PM To: Dmitry Papushin Cc: ken@gesn.com Subject: Poll Book Questions What is the procedure for creating the PCMCIA Vote Center election cards from GEMS for the PollBook PCC device? You don’t. You create PCMCIA memory cards with ballot station. We are also in the process of developing a mass download device to create multiple PCMCIA cards simultaneously. It was never really intended to be a feature of the PCC to create memory cards. A download device needs to have a high speed connection (read network) to GEMS, and the Jornada does not have built in network capability. You can use a PCMCIA network card of course, but then there is no place to put the memory card. How does this differ from creating R6 encoder cards for each vote center? This question I don’t follow.
