Using digital camera on Ashtech's GPS handhelds with DTE 6
Using digital camera on Ashtech's GPS handhelds with DTE 6
Is there any video or at least printed tutorial/manual on how to capture picture from the field using Ashtech's MM6, MM10 or MM100 units with DigiTerra 6 Professional? I need certain steps on how to take and enter the captured photo while measuring data (let say points). Let assume that I have already recorded a point and an attrubute window just poped-up on the screen. I have 2 attribute fields to fill: one that I am going to fill from the code book (dictionary), and the other is intented to save my facility photo on that location.

Using digital camera to collect photos when you are in field
It is easy...
I'll write the steps:
A) Preparation:
1 Load your existing file, mak it editable (pencil button on layer dialog)
+ save your project file - called "The name of your project".exp
-> it is necessary for storing the relative paths - see B) point below
2 Go to record panel (Hotkey in PC: "C")
3 Click/tap menu button
4 Select 1st item: "New Filed"
5 Give name: "Photo"
6 Select type: Document(N)
Click OK
B) There is the new field where we can store the path of the pictures.
C) The workout:
0) Connect to GPS! Why? See selaction D)
1 Select for example: 1st record on the record panel
2 Tap on the white (empty) filed, near the "Photo" word!
3 New screen appears:
select: "Start Digital Camera"
OK. We are here: shoot a photo (set up resolution, etc.)
D) When saving we recreate the file header: we try to add the GPS information to the JPEG Exif data, if we have GPS position.
The D steps result if you drag&drop standalon - but Explorer captured jpg's to another sw - like Google Earth - this shows on that real position:)
(This will works only the Explorer 6 Professional version.)
4 The Explorer fills the Photo attribute with its path - you can see the photo, just clict them path, and select: "Open document"
We storing the files on folder where the project saved. (See A/1).
When you copy the project to your PC, please don't forget copy the whole files.
