One of the goals of CaveSurvey is to let you collect data with the devices you already have. Currently the following data input options are available:
- Manual data input
- Build-in Android sensors
- Devices that emulate Bluetooth keyboard
- One of the integrated Bluetooth enabled devices
18+ devices are tested to work with CaveSurvey:
Brand | Model | Note |
---|---|---|
Bosch | GLM 100 C, GLM 50 C, PLR 30 C, PLR 40 C, PLR 50 C | Bosch GLM and PLR laser distance meters |
CEM | iLDM-150 | Distance meter with built-in clinometer |
DistoX | DistoX v1/v2 and DistoXBLE | The most popular cave mapping device |
Hersch | LEM50 and probably others | Clone of Mileseey T7 |
Leica | Disto D810 Touch, Disto D110, Disto D3a BT and probably others | Leica Disto's with Bluetooth LE |
LTI | TruPulse 360B, 360R and probably all of the 360 series | Rangefinders with compass, clinometer and very long range |
Mileseey | dTape 5t, P7, T7 and M120 | Distance meters with offline clinometer |
Stanley | TLM99s | Laser distance meter with simple design |
Suaoki | P7 | Laser distance meter with offline clino |
Team Poseidon LLC | BRIC4 and BRIC5 | Modern cave surveying device with scanning mode and redundant sensors |
Trimble | LaserAce 1000 | GIS rangefinder with compass and clinometer |
The list is probably longer. Please contact us if you have another device and you would like to help with the integration.
- Older devices use COM, newer(Android 4.3+) LE profile Bluetooth connection
- Depending on the device you might get any of distance/inclination/azimuth at once or a combination
- Those with unusable (or not automatically set) default settings need to be configured to work with a single measurement mode in meters and degrees
- The survey units should be configured accordingly
- First, select measurement target (e.g. Up cell) and then trigger the measurement device
- If multiple values (e.g. distance + clino or/and azimuth) are received, they are applied to the current leg/vector
- The rest of the measurements can be populated manually or with the build-in sensors
- Verify that your device supports the needed Bluetooth profile
- The device need to be paired first; only one device is active at a time
- Consult the device details page (above) for device specific details
- Open again the Devices Screen (it will try to reconnect to the last device used)
- Restart both devices' network layer (Airplane mode on/off, Bluetooth enabled/disabled)
- Restart CaveSurvey and the measurement device
- Enable notifications for better device connection feedback
- Check measurement offset settings
