READING UNITS
The Digital Inclinometer Pro records tilt readings as 100000 x sine(θ),
where θ is the angle of tilt. During the survey, the Reader app displays
the following units:
FILES AND
FOLDERS
The In-Port Pro app creates a .dux text file for each inclinometer.
The .dux file contains inclinometer parameters and all surveys for
that inclinometer. New surveys are appended to the end of the file.
Transferring inclinometers and data is a matter of copying these .dux
files from one location to another location.
The In-Port Pro app creates the following folders:
In-Port Pro:
Top Level folder.
Inclinometer Data:
This folder holds all the inclinometer (.dux) files.
The Reader app scans the Inclinometer Data folder to create its list of
inclinometers.
Outbox:
This folder holds a copy of any .dux inclinometer file that has
been updated with a new survey. All the file transfer methods use files
in this folder.
System:
Holds system files. It contains the bookmark file which allows
any interrupted survey to be restarted with no loss of data. Most files are
machine-readable, not human-readable.
English Units:
Inches of deviation, assuming a 24 inch gauge length.
Metric Units:
mm of deviation, assuming a 500mm gauge length.
The final repository for your inclinometer data should be a database on
your PC or network. The .dux files on the Reader should be regarded as
temporary, not long term.
Inclinometer Data:
This folder holds the “original” files. As mentioned
above, the app scans the inclinometer folder to create its list of
inclinometers.
•
If you want two readers to have the same list of inclinometers,
copy the .dux files from one Reader to the other.
•
If you want to remove an inclinometer from the list, delete its ,dux
file in the inclinometer data folder.
Outbox:
After you transfer the files from the tablet to the PC, you can
delete the files in the Outbox, either with the “Empty Outbox” button on
the Reader or via a file manager.
