Software
4.1 GeoView
GeoView is an easy to use Windows ™ based GUI (Graphical User Interface) which
allows for data on a KT-10 v2 to be downloaded, stored and viewed on a Windows PC. It
also supports data export functionality which allows the KT-10 v2 data to be converted
into an ASCII file format that can then be easily imported into database or spreadsheet
software. All data retrieved from the KT-10 v2 are stored in a firebird database, which is
an integral part of the Geoview software. The Geoview database can be a local or a
networked database, with the added possibility to have several databases existing for
separating projects. Voice notes that are recorded and stored on the KT-10 v2’s internal
memory can be replayed from with-in the software interface. This allows for the voice
notes and visual observations that have been recorded from the field to be added and
stored along side the readings from the KT-10 v2 for a complete picture.
