TruPulse 360 R & BAP Data Collector
Face Profiler Overview
Face Profiler software calculates bench heights, minimum and optimum burdens, hole offsets and depths, drill angles and more! Start significantly reducing the risk of dangerous fly rock incidents caused by insufficient burden and ensure you get proper fragmentation. Take the guesswork out of blast design! The process begins with 3 easy steps: shoot the floor, toe and crest – then begin profiling the rock face. Combining Face Profiler with LTI’s Impulse or TruPulse laser, you will be able to capture more measurements on a wide variety of surfaces unlike any other laser profiling package on the market.
MapSmart Field & Volume Software Overview
If you’re a non-surveyor faced with a surveying task, the last thing you need is software you can’t understand or takes you weeks to learn. This is precisely why we developed this easy-to-use field data collection solution that will have you mapping like an expert in a matter of minutes.
Work with a live map display with touch screen and the ability to quality check your data as you go. MapSmart can accommodate every situation you may encounter by offering 4 mapping methods.
Collect and store data points electronically and view calculations such as distances between points or the area of multiple points, right in the field. Upgrade to MapSmart with Volume to measure a stockpile and instantly determine the volume and weight of the material. Create standard report files and easily transfer them to your PC for printing and archival.
Log Deck Volume Solution Overview
Our Log Deck Volume Software is a much needed solution that instantly generates the length and area of a log deck, as well as calculates the MBF for specified log species of specific length and diameter. Conventional measurement tools and methods just weren’t ‘cutting’ it anymore as they could not address real-world problems efficiently.
Dealing with an ever-changing mountain of log inventory stacked with extremely narrow spaces in between creates difficult access and makes accurate measurements hard to get. LTI recognized the challenges that mill operators were faced with, which is why this Log Deck Volume Solution was developed.
There are options of choosing between five different survey methods to ensure users can pick the one that is best suited for the environment. Integrating with Laser Technology’s Impulse/MapStar® System and/or TruPulse® lasers, Log Deck Volume Solution software provides streamlined, cost-effective and safer laser measurements while out in the field.
T&D Pro Overview
Enjoy the touch-screen activated, easy-to-use menus and functionality found in the Windows Mobile version of T&D Pro Field Software! The step-by-step graphical aids and instructions were written for non-surveyors, making T&D tasks quick and easy. Verify the sag and tension of multiple power lines and measure conductor heights using one of several methods. Use the missing line routine to measure span lengths and changes in elevation. The conductor clearance solution will determine danger trees along your right-of-way
You can electronically record and store field data and create text and or spreadsheet reports. T&D software is able to produce critical values for you right in the field.
Installing MobileMapping Field and Office
March 21, 2013Document located here : ftp://ftp.ashtech.com/Mobile%20Mapping/MobileMapper%20100/Software/MobileMapper%20Field%20V%203.0%20Release%20Notes.pdf
Introduction:
This document is the firmware release note of the new release of MobileMapper Field
application released for MobileMapper 10, MobileMapper 100 and MobileMapper 120. This
new version of MobileMapper Field has not been tested on MobileMapper 6.
Upgrade procedure
- The new release is available on following ftp site:
ftp://ftp.ashtech.com/Mobile%20Mapping/ in each receiver section
MobileMapper Field upgrade from the MobileMapper software DVD (please check on
Ashtech ftp (ftp://ftp.ashtech.com/Mobile%20Mapping/) that the version of software
delivered on the DVD is the latest one):
Insert the CD into a PC and follow the instructions to install both applications on your
PC.
If the installation window does not appear automatically, go to the CD driver and run
Setup.exe file manually.
Note: you may need to install ActiveSync (for Windows XP) or Media Device Center (for
Windows Vista) on your PC first.
If the receiver is connected to the PC via USB cable, then the new MobileMapper Field
software will be installed on the device as well. If not, then it will be done at the next
connection.
Note: We recommend that you remove the previous software (Mobile Mapping and
MobileMapper 6 Office) from your receiver unit and PC prior to this installation.
MobileMapper Field upgrade from the Ashtech FTP site:
ftp://ftp.ashtech.com/Mobile%20Mapping/
Download the required software from the FTP site to your PC (note: this should not be a
shared or remote drive, but the local PC hard drive).
