Manage
your field data with easy-to-use software
SOLO Office software, the Windows-based companion product for
SOLO Field, helps you manage your SOLO Field projects. SOLO
Office has many of the same functions as SOLO Field, and adds
several project management tools including SHP file extraction,
image preparation, user-defined ASCII export, batch transfer,
printing and much more.
Because SOLO Office is Windows-based, and it has an interface
that's similar to SOLO Field, it's intuitive and easy to learn
and use. SOLO Office makes it easy to manage your SOLO Field
projects.
Project
management
SOLO Office provides several key project management features.
You can package your projects for download into your field data
collector to eliminate forgotten files and errors caused by
changed settings. You can also selectively transfer files to
avoid sending files you already have in your data collector, and
merge multiple projects together for easier file management and
export.
SHP file
extraction
The SHP File Extraction routine lets you open your large ESRI
SHP files in SOLO Office, and then extract only the region that
you need in the field. You can download the resulting SHP file
into your field data collector for use as a basemap. And you can
choose the attributes in the associated database file to
download, saving significant amounts of memory on your field
data collector.
Image preparation
Using the image preparation routine, you can specify a
particular region of an existing image to take into the field.
The selected region will be clipped from the original image and
stored in the TDS SIF format for use with SOLO Field. TIFF file
images will be compressed during the conversion to SIF format.
And you can establish geo-reference information for scanned-in
images.
SOLO Field
TDS SOLO Field GIS mapping software lets you gather position and
attribute data on a handheld computer such as the rugged
TDS Recon or
Ranger, or other Pocket PC or Windows
devices. And SOLO Field provides advanced features for advanced
users while remaining easy to learn and operate.
User-defined
ASCII export
To customize the output of your collected data, use the SOLO
Office advanced ASCII output wizard. This wizard lets you
specify the output order for your data as well as separators,
headers, footers and more. And you can create and store multiple
profiles for use with future projects
Printing and
plotting
SOLO Office lets you send your data to any Windows-supported
printer or plotter. You can print whatever is currently
displayed in the map view, or you can send collected data,
basemaps and images to the selected output device. You can also
print your feature files for a hard-copy reference.
