User's Manual for ProbeCorder (Version 1.0) Data Collection Software.

摘要

ProbeCorder is a pen-based software tool designed to maximize the logostocal efficiency of subsurface soil testing by automating the routine collection, integration, and storage of probe data in the field. It is especially targeted at intensive landscape scale investigations related to archeology pedology, and/or soils geomorphology. This user's manual provides complete documentation for implementing the software on a pen computing platform either as a 'stand a stand-alone' program or as an application module within the mobile GIS/GPS' software environment known as Field Notestm (PerMetrics, Inc., Corvallis, OR). It contains ten chapters that provide detailed instructions for electronic recording of sediment profile data using a linked series of Windows dialog boxes, and utilizing other ProbeCorder features such as pick list customization SQL querying, and report generation. Separate appendices cover the topics of pen-based hardware and software selection and the data requirements typically involved in sediment profile description.
