Realtime data
A sparkline chart shows the last 50 readings for each of the
measured channels (or the last 150 readings when using a
tablet). These are typically out-of-water samples and serve
to provide realtime feedback from the instrument.
To view charts of the full deployment, tap the light blue
VIEW
button.
Geotagging
Your instrument does not have a GPS, but its location
information may be available depending your phone/
tablet tracking capabilities.
Whenever the Ruskin App connects to an instrument, it
automatically logs its location at that moment. Even if the
boat moves away from the starting point during
download, the initial location will be captured in the
dataset.
Should a more accurate location fix be attained
within the first minute after connection, those coordinates
will be used instead.
The
LAST TAGGED LOCATION
data indicate when the last GPS coordinates were added to the dataset.
As the app uses GPS, a clear view of the sky will allow a more accurate waypoint, rather than downloading inside a ship
cabin, for example. To conserve the battery life of your phone, GPS tracking only occurs when the Ruskin App is open or
when you are recording a track of your location.
It can take a few moments after opening the app to get an accurate location fix. When GPS is working well, an accuracy of
around 5 metres can be expected.
Tap the purple
TAG
button to log the
CURRENT LOCATION
data manually. The last tagged location will be updated to
indicate the coordinates and accuracy of the manual GPS waypoint fix.
Both types of waypoints described (manual tags and those taken automatically on download) can be seen plotted on a
map in the
Locations
tab.
