Wow - its June already and time for another User Conference! As you know, we've been heads down busting to get ArcPad 10.2 ready and at the same time, working with our colleagues in Redlands to take the best of ArcPad to other applications and platforms.<br />
<br />
Come and say hello to the ArcPad Team, and learn something new at the Esri UC in San Diego. This year we have just one technical workshop - An Introduction to ArcPad but we have lots of demo theartre sessions, and of course the ArcPad User Group. Last years User Group was such a hit, were going with a similar style this year.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ArcPad Packages (available since December 2012) are the key to this relationship. The ability to dstribute ArcPad Templates and Packages using ArcGIS Online could improve data transfer between remote locations, provide reliable back-up and storage for your projects or even remove the need for tethered data transfer altogether!</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have had several questions about ArcPad being compatible
with Windows 8 Pro and the answer is YES (it just isn't documented in the system requirements yet). One recent test was to install Windows 8 onto a rugged tablet and thought we should show you
the results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By now many of you have probably heard that the new start screen in Windows 8 is a little different and a bit confusing. The
great thing about all of those icons is if you don’t like them then remove
them. You don't have to uninstall anything (unless you want to) but why look at it if you don't have too?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You really only have to think of it as a full screen toolbar that you have
pinned items on. In actual fact ArcPad and the Shortcut Apps really benefit
from this new full screen look, as the shortcuts apps that were introduced in ArcPad 10 are no longer in a pokey little folder but are smack bang in the middle of your screen with a nice big button.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Above you will notice the standard marketing screenshot of Windows 8, and a business focused version showing only my ArcPad projects. Notice that I don't even have a link to ArcPad on the screen because I want the field crew to only access predefined maps and tools through the <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpad/10.0/help/index.html#//00s10000012t000000" target="_blank">shortcut apps</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may also notice that there is no icon to get to the desktop, which could reduce headaches of switching to and from the start screen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a screenshot of the shortcut apps.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijcCR5QmmvKTU4QD80F6igNCO3QhCTs967Tf9muablLq1WOclSzsJFqRXSo8LA6PQ5rAmCBgFA7P9CKrIxKbLugSF-230ezKMj-tGUmeacUHHg7Qm5KpjxRjRPI8tgW1pu0SjMqA/s1600/WP_20130109_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijcCR5QmmvKTU4QD80F6igNCO3QhCTs967Tf9muablLq1WOclSzsJFqRXSo8LA6PQ5rAmCBgFA7P9CKrIxKbLugSF-230ezKMj-tGUmeacUHHg7Qm5KpjxRjRPI8tgW1pu0SjMqA/s320/WP_20130109_004.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now here is a quick view of ArcPad running on Windows 8. What you may notice is that I have turned on the auto-hide function of the toolbar so ArcPad runs in full screen. Once again there are less options for someone to press. Remember "If you don't need it why display it?"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you exit from ArcPad, as always, you enter back to the classic Desktop, but since Windows 8 doesn't come with a Start button visible on the screen, I have provided some instruction on my desktop background to get back to the start menu.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think you will see that this is actually a very nice option for field work. A full blown operating system with lots of grunt with an "easy to get started" menu that feels like a tablet (after all that's what a Yuma is). For many years we have been waiting for Windows to be much more touch friendly and now with Windows 8 it looks like the professional GIS mapping world may just have an excellent candidate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>UPDATE!</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rather than having the lovely instructions on the screen you can actually write one line of code to quit ArcPad and send you straight back to the Start screen. Here are the steps:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open ArcPad Studio</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Open your ArcPad.apx file - This is a configuration file (Lives in My ArcPad by default)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Click the System Objects Button</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose Application and the OnShutDown Event</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Choose your line of script and copy into the script win</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">VB: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "^{ESC}"</span></li>

</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Press Ok, save the file and exit Studio</span></li>

You can load two different types of package: <strong>Templates</strong> and <strong>Projects</strong>.<br /><br />Upload and download <strong>projects</strong> (ie, a zip folder containing an apm and any of the following: shapefiles, axf's, rasters) to and from ArcGIS Online instead of your local file system to better serve your remote team members.<br /><br />Upload your current <strong>templates</strong> and use ArcGIS Online as your content management system for distribution to field workers. For more information on <strong>templates</strong>, refer to the help at <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpad/10.0/help/index.html#/What_are_Quick_Project_Templates/00s1000000w3000000/">http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpad/10.0/help/index.html#/What_are_Quick_Project_Templates/00s1000000w3000000/</a> <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a request at this year’s User Conference to show how
build a simple incremental counter. The scenario was that there are multiple people
collecting data but each collector has been given a starting range e.g. Fred: 20000
and Barney: 50000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This range could change from day to day so the ability to
change the number was also important. Using ArcPad’s input box, each user can
open the map and type in their starting value and then two, one line, scripts
will keep it up to date.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This sample has been written into the Edit Form (APL) rather
than an applet. The reason for this is that the script is data centric and no
matter what map you open with this data in, the scripts will run. Remember
applets are predominantly used when you want to achieve consistent behavior whenever
any map is used.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will see three scripts in the jScript file (Poles.js):<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>initiateID()</b> – When the map opens (with the points layer in
it), the input box appears for you to type in the starting ID.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>getID()</b> – When the Edit Form is opened, the text box “NAME”
is populated with the current ID</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>updateID()</b> – When you press OK on the form the ID has 1
added to it.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Download the sample from the <a href="http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2a8fadebffbd4deea60a90d2f61c7c79">ArcPad

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now everyone has had time to digest all of the information from the Esri User Conference, it is time to start filling you up again. While presenting and meeting users we realized that we could run for a week just talking about all things ArcPad. One item that seems to be a sleeping giant is QuickProject Templates, especially the DEFAULT template.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the key features of ArcPad is that you have the ability to create ad hoc data while in the field, but with the default QuickProject you can also customize the data to better relate to your collection requirements. We are going to run through an example where we have a Side Entry Pit (SEP) inspection to evaluate how much cleaning is required before the winter season kicks in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the steps we are going to take:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Create a QuickProject</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Edit the QuickCapture tab in the Table of Contents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Edit the Symbology Categories in Layer Properties</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Some Rapid Data Capture Techniques</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Bring Data into a Geodatabase</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Creating a QuickProject is super easy, well in fact every step in this article is. When ArcPad opens, by default, you are prompted with four options and the second is <b>Create a QuickProject</b>. In the “Template” drop down menu have a look to see the different templates available but select the leave Default selected. You will also see that the projection for the QuickProject is listed. If this is not the projection you require for your project, you can press the blue map icon and select a different one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJO6kFwiCYcbcprZksOE-bUIhRZvTPcwjZJtxl_EdO_i8h9bXy3Z4VUvXbaXpmSFiG7ZnkzWL132GUfuLl13p-U2sfMuVXyJnb09mnTe93gzkNqPedE83KJcJu7edp1qhyphenhyphen7KbBqw/s1600/QuickProject.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJO6kFwiCYcbcprZksOE-bUIhRZvTPcwjZJtxl_EdO_i8h9bXy3Z4VUvXbaXpmSFiG7ZnkzWL132GUfuLl13p-U2sfMuVXyJnb09mnTe93gzkNqPedE83KJcJu7edp1qhyphenhyphen7KbBqw/s320/QuickProject.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you press OK, three shapefiles are made for you – point, line and polygon and they are stored in “My Documents” in a folder named QuickProject_TimeStamp. There is everything you need to get started, even an ArcPad map document (.apm). As you are a starting a blank project, there is obviously nothing contextual in the map, so you can add your own reference data now or simply add an ArcGIS Online Base Map (this requires internet capabilty).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Lets get started</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will notice the QuickProject opens automatically to the QuickCapture toolbar so you can just start editing. There are three symbols per feature class shown and this can be changed dynamically as you work. Because I am creating an inspection project, at this stage, I only see myself needing to work with point data. In the Table of Contents, I am going to activate the QuickCapture tab. The very cool thing about this toolbar is that it represents every symbol category as its own feature class (this is an important note to remember). I have turned off all of the lines and polygons along with adding the two other categories for the points. I don’t know if I’ll need them yet - but let’s turn them for now. It should be noted that label here is purely the Mouse hover tool tip. Feel free to change this if you so desire. I will come back to this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmXRZFNzXiyoid4BBkH5jIkwiIe1e8sxW0opLtisIrVXI2nAIgK8S06LoEYysTINLkFAO7MWDXiGMHn51X_0_x3DQNSy1nChsXMQO2izgX8nOGeI9rExSsDtUruJMfJLoRem1ug/s1600/QuickCaptureMenu.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmXRZFNzXiyoid4BBkH5jIkwiIe1e8sxW0opLtisIrVXI2nAIgK8S06LoEYysTINLkFAO7MWDXiGMHn51X_0_x3DQNSy1nChsXMQO2izgX8nOGeI9rExSsDtUruJMfJLoRem1ug/s320/QuickCaptureMenu.png" width="233" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now let’s have a look at the point layer and set it up. The symbology tab shows that the data has been created with unique values categories (wow just like ArcMap). You will see the symbols, category (coded value domain) value and label (description). All of these are editable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibe3yA3qcEFuXpmhb5MvpQSuzZNP2iD2x5G_odKKdqDi4NJB06WUU6cFmSj9NtHyu8MRZZC-VYXhxKZkarmoRM8ony6hthFXUldFik8rLJvdKK-PapTpGcSu7qePf1R2m0ZS2a0Q/s1600/layerProperties01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibe3yA3qcEFuXpmhb5MvpQSuzZNP2iD2x5G_odKKdqDi4NJB06WUU6cFmSj9NtHyu8MRZZC-VYXhxKZkarmoRM8ony6hthFXUldFik8rLJvdKK-PapTpGcSu7qePf1R2m0ZS2a0Q/s320/layerProperties01.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I want to create three values for the SEP inspection:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Symbology (Size)</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Value</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Description</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Green Dot (4)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> E<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Empty</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Orange Dot (6)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> H<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Half Full</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big Red Star (8)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> F<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Full</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To apply the symbology, click on the icon and the Symbol properties dialog appears. Go to the Point Style tab and press the “Set to Default Point Style” button to activate the controls. Select the Marker Type, Outline and Fill Color and the Color Designer will appear. Set your size for each and you’re done. Now select the category value and set it accordingly along with the description. As I only need these three categories, I deleted the other two. The delete button is only present when you have selected a category. If I want to add another category later I would come back to this dialog and press the Add button and set up the contents as mentioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbajhLrbzq1-KJ8jaHEiVvWtbyFdQr1AkdnMyM3Tir7VGwLbXix8Xc8MEBRnyfw5aQ1ziqlo6LQnxt9lQa0S_LG3CHCWPjS9V9fGnfDW-4bdQibThTpEyGDXyk5Y-uLhUlvXjBQ/s1600/layerProperties02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbajhLrbzq1-KJ8jaHEiVvWtbyFdQr1AkdnMyM3Tir7VGwLbXix8Xc8MEBRnyfw5aQ1ziqlo6LQnxt9lQa0S_LG3CHCWPjS9V9fGnfDW-4bdQibThTpEyGDXyk5Y-uLhUlvXjBQ/s320/layerProperties02.png" width="302" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once finished press OK, go back to the Quick Capture tab and update the tool tips now that we have a better idea of how we are going to label them. As Windows Mobile does not have tool tips you can make this an optional extra. I am going to make mine simply read:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Empty SEP</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Half Full SEP</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s FULL!!</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmix6Kq77o1GMNQoiPyTtsWR7x_kQMCrUNWRvMIVlF0xxfN695aCbsk9dVSRSCR4XNVGc3vo4qndQLnKxx8amSnXuJotIa0bqe7ftt5ejeuimZm7OAtiUA7JXznPEX_VbJwkmcHg/s1600/QuickCaptureLabel.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmix6Kq77o1GMNQoiPyTtsWR7x_kQMCrUNWRvMIVlF0xxfN695aCbsk9dVSRSCR4XNVGc3vo4qndQLnKxx8amSnXuJotIa0bqe7ftt5ejeuimZm7OAtiUA7JXznPEX_VbJwkmcHg/s1600/QuickCaptureLabel.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do you like that for a focused data capture application in less than 10 minutes? Having a quick look at data capture, we want to start at the QuickCapture toolbar. Moving down a street I can simply click on the appropriate tool and add the feature/inspection. The feature dialog opens and you can see that the Date and Category are already populated. As there is a name field I will use that and populate it, but I don’t want to have to keep typing my name each time. Clicking the Repeat Attributes button (the big arrow on the bottom of the form) will maintain the attributes for the Full category. Remember that important note I told you about earlier, that’s right about each category acting as its own feature class. Well this is one of the powerful reasons for that. Let’s run through another example.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRWrBp4jWO-olnzHo8AxzeLTh4AfW_tHh-74ORNm5Xam-TEwgPy94SqcvOPk005pHip5v2mHe2mqtvZmqd8URnaiGt7ZUDV9zNO4BOWMtZv1OiHzCV7xOn0GZF_4eLpLrl_54njw/s1600/FullScreenArcPad.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRWrBp4jWO-olnzHo8AxzeLTh4AfW_tHh-74ORNm5Xam-TEwgPy94SqcvOPk005pHip5v2mHe2mqtvZmqd8URnaiGt7ZUDV9zNO4BOWMtZv1OiHzCV7xOn0GZF_4eLpLrl_54njw/s320/FullScreenArcPad.png" width="269" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take Two</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While traipsing around the streets I have found that when the SEP is full it is normally with leaves or general rubbish. In the comments I have to keep changing the text from Leaves to Rubbish, so that is not helping my rapid capture of data. Solution: create a new category to provide two QuickCapture buttons. Back to the Symbology tab of the Points layer properties and the category Full Rubbish is created using a big blue star. As a note I also made a change to the original Full label to show it as Full Leaves. The final step is to check the category ON in the QuickCapture tab of the Table of Contents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_mESTJLOq5hrRxO8_UUr7XGo_qNM500d0BlmtF_jftKRNFrf8MOplprTntJs9tLIE_9SN7hpBYWNT6A6fb_gl2QrR3gAJky8v7r1UdGdginARE07FLA0JU2Y-u0FVsWEm56DYKQ/s1600/ArcPadQuickCapture2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_mESTJLOq5hrRxO8_UUr7XGo_qNM500d0BlmtF_jftKRNFrf8MOplprTntJs9tLIE_9SN7hpBYWNT6A6fb_gl2QrR3gAJky8v7r1UdGdginARE07FLA0JU2Y-u0FVsWEm56DYKQ/s320/ArcPadQuickCapture2.png" width="205" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the new capture category, I need to fill out the name again and press the Repeat Attributes button so that my data is being pre-poulated. In fact, now I have found that I don’t even need the form to collect the data. I wish I could turn it off. Oh wait - I can! Back in the Table of Contents I can turn off the ability to show the form during data capture. All the attributes will still get written, but if I don’t need to see it - why should I? So now all you have to do is click on the QuickCapture button (if you have a gps turned) or additionally click the map to place the feature.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back at the Office</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see within ArcPad there is actually a lot of flexibility to assist in building rapid data collection projects, for some this task could be used as a pilot study to then use to build a Geodatabase. Well guess what. We can help you there too. In the ArcPad Geoprocessing Toolbox of ArcGIS for Desktop there is a nifty little tool that can convert all that good work with your QuickProject into a Geodatabase aptly called “QuickProject to Geodatabase”. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tool will not only convert the shapefiles into Geodatabase feature classes, it will create and associate the coded value domains that from the categories you set.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: #ffe599;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note this script was originally written as a Python sample to show what could be done, so feel free to open the python code and edit it to best fit your needs. </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can load these new feature classes into ArcMap and continue to build upon your fantastic mobile Geodatabase design from ArcPad.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there you have it. Not only is ArcPad fantastic data collection software but it can also help you build data from scratch to develop enterprise data. Throw in a couple of fantastic, easy to use tools to help increase your data capture techniques and it's fun for all the family (or organisation).</span><br />

Our friends at <a href="http://riamobilegis.blogspot.com.au/">RIA Mobile GIS</a> have been exploring the wonderful world of HD geotagged video and have now integrated it with ArcPad (and ArcMap and ArcGIS Explorer).<br />
Check out their recent <a href="http://riamobilegis.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/geodrive.html">blog that describes GeoDrive</a> an application that allows you to view the video footage, whilst outputting the spatial location of the current frame to ArcPad.<br />

</a>ArcPad Customization help is now online!<br />
<br />
<br />
Previously buried in ArcPad Studio along with a lot of information that people didn't use, was a lot of cool stuff that is suitable for anyone customizing ArcPad - not just the hard core developers! So, we have taken it out and made it all a little more accessible. To start with its now online at: <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpadstudio/10.0/help/index.html">http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpadstudio/10.0/help/index.html</a><br />
<br />
You can also get to this page from <br />
<br />
<a href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/communities/arcpad/">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/communities/arcpad/</a><br />
<br />
In coming releases, the developer help delivered with ArcPad will be organized like this also.<br />
<br />
The customization help has been broken into three distinct sections: Concepts, Scripting Reference and XML Reference.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpadstudio/10.0/help/index.html">Concepts</a> section describes how you can customize ArcPad, what are key file types that you need to know about, and how you can use them to change the way ArcPad looks and behaves. The concepts section includes examples on how you can customize forms and toolbars and includes brief scripting samples in VBScript, JScript and Python.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpadstudio/10.0/scripting/index.html">Scripting Reference</a> section documents the ArcPad Object Model. This reference documents all objects, their methods and properties. This section contains some examples, but this is an area we are actively working on. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpadstudio/10.0/xml/index.html">XML Reference</a> section documents the ArcPad XML schema that is used in all ArcPad customization files. Each ArcPad file type is listed with all its valid elements and attributes. Again, some examples are here already but more are coming.Marikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15158820318731011640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31406484.post-22242122353133420072012-08-01T13:10:00.002+10:002012-08-01T13:10:41.059+10:00Handouts for UC Tech Workshop Attendees<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first attendees in the door scored a boxed lunch, and 2 lucky attendees won 1 weeks hire of mobile hardware. Also your presentation on Dollars and Sence - how to productize a custom ArcPad application was excellent - a great message for anyone with a ArcPad project they want to take to the world.For the second part of the session, we tried something a little different :).<br />
<br />
After sitting back for a few days of heavy listening, we asked the attendees to tell us a little about how they used ArcPad. We had 55 people at the User Group and below are the group answers to the questions asked. After these questions warmed everyone up, we split the attendees into similar industry groups and encouraged them to meet others and share their experiences and questions with each other. Wow - what a noise! Everyone obviously loved this bit, even when we had to usher people outside so the next session could start, people stuck around chatting outside the doors!<br />

<br />
Using a GPS to collect location information is an integral part of many ArcPad Projects. Although using a GPS receiver sounds easy enough, it is a professional and complicated piece of technology that requires an understanding of your project needs to ensure that the correct quality settings are used.<br />
<br />
Let's start out with the basics:<br />
<br />
<b>What is GPS and How Does it Work?</b><br />
GPS stands for Global Positioning System and refers to a space-based system of satellites providing time and location information.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaqzcg7TLZB9KdB2Jb6SNmzUTvcuk_oxz4Qdl04bpRKfH-SLEl7wJzMpqSVu3E9RxBXOIgeek562Fp_rHmq7-2owo_D0DGFY1ywzj5mnLKQQWWUipT7jOD5Y44UzlyVMDl0-giGA/s1600/748px-GPS_Satellite_NASA_art-iif.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaqzcg7TLZB9KdB2Jb6SNmzUTvcuk_oxz4Qdl04bpRKfH-SLEl7wJzMpqSVu3E9RxBXOIgeek562Fp_rHmq7-2owo_D0DGFY1ywzj5mnLKQQWWUipT7jOD5Y44UzlyVMDl0-giGA/s320/748px-GPS_Satellite_NASA_art-iif.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by GPS satellites.<br />
<br />
Each satellite continually transmits messages that include:<br />
<br />
1. The time the message was transmitted<br />
<br />
2. Satellite position at time of message transmission<br />
<br />
The receiver uses the messages it receives to determine the transit time of each message and computes the distance to each satellite. These distances along with the satellites' locations are used with the possible aid of trilateration, depending on which algorithm is used, to compute the position of the receiver. This position is then displayed, perhaps with a moving map display or latitude and longitude and elevation information may be included. Many GPS units show derived information such as direction and speed, calculated from position changes. Three satellites might seem enough to solve for position since space has three dimensions and a position near the Earth's surface can be assumed. However, even a very small clock error multiplied by the very large speed of light — the speed at which satellite signals propagate — results in a large positional error. Therefore receivers use four or more satellites to solve for both the receiver's location and time. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Recieving GPS Information in ArcPad:</b><br />
ArcPad supports the following protocols for communicating with GPS recievers: <br />
<ul>
<li>National Marine Electronics Association. (NMEA) 0183 </li>
<li>Trimble Standard Interface Protocol (TSIP) </li>
<li>Delorme® Earthmate® </li>
<li>Rockwell PLGR Protocol </li>
<li>SiRF®</li>
</ul>
Any GPS receiver that outputs any of the above protocols should work with ArcPad, as long as the GPS receiver is correctly configured and properly connected to the device being used with ArcPad. This includes GPS connections via Bluetooth or USB as well as all-in-one mobile data collection devices.<br />
<br />
ArcPad extension developers can also create their own protocol support, Trimble GPSCorrect is an example of this. <br />
<br />
<b>Choosing a GPS Receiver:</b><br />
Some important questions to ask when looking at incorporating a GPS receiver into your ArcPad project are as follows:<br />
<b><br />Supported protocols:</b> Does the GPS receiver output a protocol that is supported by ArcPad? <br />
<br />
<b>Accuracy: </b>What accuracy do you require for your GPS positions? Is autonomous GPS with 5–15 meters accuracy sufficient, or do you require differential correction to achieve higher accuracy? Does the GPS receiver have the ability to differentially correct the GPS positions when connected to a differential receiver or using the WAAS differential system? How well does your GPS receiver work under a canopy or in environments that are susceptible to multipath errors? <br />
<br />
<b>Differential correction: </b>What type of real-time differential correction is available and reliable in the area where you will be working: beacon, satellite, or WAAS?<br />
<br />
<b>GPS receiver functionality:</b> Can the GPS receiver be configured to set such factors as elevation mask, position interval, and SNR mask? Does the GPS receiver have its own display to configure the receiver and use the receiver in a standalone mode? <br />
<br />
<b>Cost:</b> How much do you want to spend on a GPS receiver? More accurate GPS receivers cost more than less accurate receivers.<br />
<br />
<b>Size and configuration: </b>Do you require a compact GPS receiver or a backpack GPS receiver? Ultra-compact GPS receivers tend to be less expensive but also less accurate than larger GPS receivers. GPS receivers are available in various configurations including Compact Flash receivers, PC Card receivers, Bluetooth receivers, specialized built-in receivers, add-on expansion packs, handheld receivers, integrated receivers and mobile devices, all-in-one antennas and GPS receivers, and backpack GPS receiver systems. Are cables an issue? Bluetooth is a good alternative for wirelessly connecting an external GPS receiver to your mobile device. <br />
<br />
<b>Availability and support:</b> What GPS receivers are available in your local area, and is the local GPS vendor’s support adequate?<br />
<br />
There is no perfect GPS receiver for use with ArcPad. You should consider all of the above factors when deciding which GPS receiver best meets your field GIS and GPS needs.<br />
<br />
<b>Set the GPS Preferences in ArcPad </b><br />
There is no standard method for connecting a GPS receiver to ArcPad since most GPS receivers have unique configurations. However, by using this blog and the documentation for your GPS receiver and mobile device, it is fairly easy to successfully connect your GPS receiver toArcPad. <b></b><br />
<b><br />Determining what items are needed</b><br />
In general, bluetooth is used to connect GPS receivers to Windows devices. Compact Flash and SD GPS receivers insert into standard slots on windows devices and built in GPS receivers require no connection. USB GPS receivers usually come with a USB cable permanently attached and connect to standard USB ports on window devices. <br />
<br />
In some cases, you will need one or more of the following items to connect your external GPS receiver to the mobile device being used to run ArcPad: <br />
<ul>
<li>A serial cable to connect to the GPS receiver </li>
<li>A serial cable to connect to the mobile device </li>
<li>A male-to-male gender changer </li>
<li>A null modem adapter </li>
</ul>
You will not need any of the above items if you are connecting your GPS receiver to your mobile device via Bluetooth or USB.<br />
<br />
<b>Connecting your GPS receiver</b><br />
Using the information in the preceding discussion you should now be able to determine which cables, null modem adapters, and gender changers you will need to connect your GPS receiver to the device that is running ArcPad. Obviously, you will not need any cables or adapters if connecting via Bluetooth or when using an integrated GPS receiver, or a USB receiver. Assemble and connect the required items before moving to the next step of configuring your GPS receiver. Also, make sure that the batteries on your GPS receiver are fully charged!<br />
<b><br />Configuring your GPS receiver</b><br />
By default, most handheld GPS receivers are configured to not output any GPS data. You need to configure your GPS receiver to output data, generally via the NMEA protocol unless your GPS receiver supports additional protocols such as TSIP. ArcPad supports a minimum of NMEA 0183 version 2.0 standard protocol, so make sure that you select at least version 2.0 of NMEA on your GPS receiver if the receiver supports multiple NMEA versions.<br />
<br />
You also need to verify the communication parameters that your GPS receiver is configured for, specifically the baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits. You will need this information for the next step of setting the GPS Preferences in ArcPad. <br />
<br />
If you are using Bluetooth, you will need to use the Bluetooth Manager on your mobile device to discover the GPS receiver, and possibly to pair your GPS receiver with your mobile device. Consult the documentation for your GPS receiver and mobile device for more information on connecting via Bluetooth.<br />
<br />
When you connect your USB GPS receiver for the first time, ensure that you install the drivers for that device which allow NMEA messaging. It is not recommended to install the Microsoft Generic GPS driver for USB GPS receivers. Instead ensure that you go to your GPS manufacturers website and download the most appropriate driver for your device (if it was not supplied with your hardware). Some USB GPS receivers require additional software to translate proprietary formats to NMEA. <br />
<br />
One example of this is Garmin's Spanner Software. Spanner creates a virtual serial port which allows you to send data to ArcPad. Refer to Garmin's website for compatible devices.<br />
<br />
Before you can activate your GPS, you need to set the GPS communication parameters in ArcPad to match the parameters set on your GPS receiver. The GPS protocol and communication parameters are set in the GPS page of the GPS Preferences dialog box. <br />
<b><br />GPS Preferences in ArcPad: </b><br />
<br />
Once your GPS is connected, the quickest and easiest way to receive GPS information in ArcPad is by using the 'Find GPS' Tool on the GPS Preferences dialog. When you tap on the binoculars on the GPS Tab, ArcPad will search for your connected GPS device and automatically configure your GPS preferences (If your know the Protocol, Port and Baud of your GPS - you can also configure these settings manually).<br />

can have up to 8 ArcPad Tools on your custom Map Navigator. The easiest place to find a list of the
command names for all of the tools in ArcPad is on the Favorites Tab on the Toolbar Settings dialog (where you choose the tools to appear on the Favorites Toolbar). The order of the tools in the ArcPad.apx will determine the order in which the tools are displayed on the Map Navigator.</span></div>

This big blue button is one of the most useful and versatile tools in out-of-the-box ArcPad.<br />
<br />
A few quick facts about the QuickAction Button:<br />
<br />
- When using ArcPad in Design Mode, the button will change color to red and the icon will change from ArcPad to ArcPad Studio. This is to give you a visual indication of when you are working in the ArcPad customization environment.<br />
<br />
- You can hide and unhide the QuickAction Button by selecting 'Toolbars' from the Quick Access Menu (small arrow on the left-hand side of the toolbars) and then checking or un-checking 'QuickAction' on the drop-down menu. Hiding the QuickAction Button, along with your other ArcPad toolbars can give you more space on your screen to display your map. <br />
<br />
But why would you want to hide this awesome blue button?<br />
<br />
Without any configuration, the QuickAction Button gives you access to many useful tools including the 'New' menu, Map Properties, Recent Maps and Layers and the ArcPad Help.<br />
<br />

<br />
But - did you know that you can customize the QuickAction Button just like any other toolbar in ArcPad? When you put ArcPad into Design Mode and launch the Toolbar Editor (both functions can be found on the QuickAccess Menu - see the ArcPad Help for more information), the QuickAction Button is listed along with the ArcPad default toolbars.<br />
<br />

<br />
To add tools to the QuickAction Button, simply select QuickAction on the right, select the tool you want to add on the left and click on the right-facing arrows. To remove tools from the QuickAction Button, simply select the tool listed under QuickAction on the right and then click the left-facing arrows. You can also drag-and-drop tools to the left and right to add or remove them from your toolbars.<br />
<br />
BUT - The QuickAction Button has a couple more features that make it extra special:<br />
<br />
- If you remove ALL BUT ONE tool, the QuickAction Button will launch that tool<br />
- If you remove ALL of the tools, the QuickAction Button will launch a new QuickProject<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We have discussed the ArcPad Photo Layer and
including stand-alone photographs in your data collection in a previous blog – now let’s
take a closer look at including feature-associated photographs in ArcPad.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> There are many ways to include a photographic record of your assets as part of your data collection project. You can include a 'Photo Field' in your data that will contain the file name of the photograph associated to that particular record. You can also include a related table to contain the file names of multiple photographs associated to a single record. This blog will describe the workflows used to take the Photo Fields from your data into the field using an AXF file and to then incorporate these photographs from the field back into your project. This involves using the ArcPad Data Manager Toolbar in ArcGIS Desktop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">When you
define photo options in the any of three wizards (Get Data for ArcPad,
Configure Project for Geoprocessing, or Author Project for ArcGIS Server), you
will minimize the number of steps required to ensure that photos taken in the
field, return to the desired location on your network. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In order to
use this recommended workflow for incorporating photos into your project, you
must start by ensuring you have fields in your geodatabase to store a text
string that will represent the photo path, and a location (local or network)
where you intend to store and use your photos from. When photos are returned
from the field you will then be able to use ArcGIS Desktop hyperlink tools to
view your photos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In the field
you can use either an integrated camera or separate camera to the data
collection device to capture photographs associated to features. For ArcPad to
be able to display the photographs in the field, they must be located in the
same folder (on the same device) as the AXF. If a separate camera is used, you
will need to copy them to the AXF location. Some examples of how to get photos
in the same folder are:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">You can
collect a photograph associated to a new or existing feature in your data using
the Picture Page on the Feature Properties Dialog. If you are using a custom
form, your Feature Properties dialog box may not show the Picture Page. Custom
input forms can optionally hide the default pages of the Feature Properties
dialog box, including the Picture page. You can add the Picture Page to your
forms using ArcPad Studio.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The Picture
Page is used to display the photo, or digital image file, that is associated
with the selected feature. The file name of the digital image is stored in a
field associated with the selected feature. A feature can have multiple photos
associated with it, but each photo file name needs to be stored in a unique
field.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The bulk of
the page is dedicated to the preview of the photo, which is referenced by the
file name stored in the field selected in the Field drop-down list. The preview is a
display-only field.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Choose the
field in which to store the file name of the photograph associated with the
selected feature using the Field drop-down list. ArcPad automatically populates
the Field drop-down list with field names that appear to be suitable for
storing photo file names if a photo field(s) is/are not specified during check-out. To do this, ArcPad looks for any text field - in the
Shapefile data table or in the ArcPad AXF file - that has a name containing the
words photo, image, or picture. The text field also must to have a minimum
length of 20 characters. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Tap the
Rotate Icons to rotate the image 90 degrees to the left or right. The rotated
image is stored in the image file. Processing image files requires considerable
free memory to perform the computations. You need to ensure that there is
sufficient free memory on your device for ArcPad to perform the image
rotation. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Tap the
Camera Icon to open the Camera tool to capture a new photograph, using the
camera specified on the Camera Tab of the ArcPad Options dialog box. The new
photograph will be stored on your device and displayed in the Picture Field.
The image file name for the new photograph will be stored in the field selected
in the Field drop-down list. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
associated photo can be changed by either using the camera button to open the
Camera Tool for capturing a new photo or by using the Folder Icon to choose an
existing photo on your device.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">To check-in
field data, you must still first copy the data (AXF and photographs) to a
temporary location on your desktop or network. If you have been capturing
photos on a separate device, and only entering the file name into the feature
attribute in ArcPad, you can copy the photos from your camera directly to the
temporary folder (In the diagram, this workflow is represented by the dotted
line).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The Get Data
for ArcPad wizard will automatically copy any photos found in the temporary
ArcPad project folder, to the folder nominated during check in. If no folder
was nominated, no photos will be copied.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I hope you are encouraged to incorporate photographs into your ArcPad Projects. Photographs can be a very useful tool in field data capture and photo support is a key feature in out-of-the-box ArcPad. </span></div>
