5.9.2.1 Android
Connect your mobile device to a PC with a USB cable. When doing so, pay attention to the
display of your mobile device; you may have to confirm that data may be exchanged with the
PC.
Then, on the PC, navigate to your mobile device using the file browser you are using (e.g.
Windows Explorer). Among other things, you will find the main folder of the PTQ.App there.
this folder contains the project folders of all projects you have created
with the PTQ.App.
Copy/move the project folders of all projects you want to work on to the hard disk of your PC.
NOTE
With older Android versions it may be necessary to restart the phone once to make the main
folder visible on the PC.
5.9.2.2 iOS
Connect your Apple mobile device to a MAC with a USB cable.
Then, on the MAC, navigate to your mobile device in the file browser you are using (e.g. Finder)
(under
Locations
). Switch to the tab
Files
. All apps that share files are listed there. Open the
PTQ.App
entry here. Now you see the main folder
PicusTQData
.
Unlike Android, the MAC file browser cannot navigate deeper into the folder structure.
Therefore you have to copy the complete main folder to the hard disk of your MAC.
5.9.3 Compatibility with Arbostat
Arbostat is the classic PC software for evaluating pulling test data recorded with the PiCUS
TreeQinetic measuring system.
The measurement data files generated by the PTQ.App correspond to the format expected by
Arbostat and are therefore fully compatible.
The only difference is that now the data of all pulling tests performed with the new PTQ.App
are already organized in a well sorted, handy project structure. For example, it is no longer
necessary to manually collect and sort measurement data from a laptop, documentary photos
from a camera and any handwritten notes.
If you want to process a measurement from one of your projects in Arbostat, navigate into the
corresponding project folder and there into the subfolder of the measurement setup with which
you have carried out this measurement. There you will find the saved measurement data files,
which you can import into Arbostat as usual.
Furthermore you will find all taken crown photos in the project folder, in the subfolder
CrownPics
.
