PocketDTM

PocketDTM is Atlas Computers new survey data logging package. Using Microsoft Windows CE, it will run on a wide range devices including the Itronix Q200, TDS Recon & Ranger, Compaq Ipaq , Husky fex21 to name but a few.

Based on our popular SCC package, PocketDTM boasts unparalleled ease of use coupled with a depth of functionality found until recently only on high end desk top solutions.

It has been designed around the following criteria;

Ease of use – PocketDTM has been designed to be very easy to use and requires minimal previous survey experience. The number of steps required to complete the measurement has been minimised and the language used though out kept simple. The user interface is based around the world standard Microsoft Windows GUI familiar to most surveyors and engineers. The touch screen makes identification and selection of points much easier than a text based logger.
