Winner of the ArcPad Challenge Contest
HydroPlus® GIS is not yet compatible with ArcPad 7 - Coming Soon.
HydroPlus® GIS allows water resource managers to record multiparameter water quality data, at user defined point locations, directly into the GIS. It works with existing data or new data. Point locations can be created using GPS or manually, by touching the screen. HydroPlus® GIS reads streaming data from a RS232 serial port and displays the data in a tabular form along with header information. The user can choose which fields to record when creating or adding to the shape file. By tapping the write button the user manually stores selected location and fields to the associated point’s attribute table. A Timed Log feature is also available that stores multiple lines of data at a preset interval.
Because shape files record an associated .dbf file, it’s possible to bring the water quality information into other programs such as Excel, Seveno DataSight or LakeWatch software for further graphing or
data analysis.
Features include:
Maintains all the functionality of ArcPad 6
software and works directly with industry
standard ESRI shape files
Can be used on any Windows or Windows CE
device that ArcPad 6 supports
Continual readout of data from water quality multiprobe
Users can create points based on current locations,
GPS location, or by simply tapping the touch screen
with the current line of multiparameter water quality
data appended to it
Timed Log–Data is stored automatically at a preset
interval until the user stops it
Allows for hand-keyed annotations
Users can choose which fields get recorded or
not recorded within the shape file
Allows use of GPS for navigation to relocate point data
Writes data to dbf format that can be analyzed
by other software
GPS positions recorded with Trimble GPS Receivers can be differentially corrected by using Trimble GPScorrect software
What Is Required To Use The ArcPad 6 Template?
HydroPlus® GIS is designed to be used with ArcPad 6 software; therefore an ArcPad 6 license is required. It will run on any Windows device with a RS232 serial port that ArcPad 6 supports.
Desktop PC
Processor: 486 or higher
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP
RAM: 32 MB or Greater
Serial Port: Standard RS232 Serial Port (Two if using GPS)
Windows CE or Pocket PC
Processor: Intel StrongARM, Hitachi SH3, MIPS R39x or R41x, x86
Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 2.11 or greater, including Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and Windows Mobile 5.
Memory: 32 MB RAM (64 or greater recommended)
Desktop Software: Microsoft ActiveSync 3.0 or higher (v4.x is required for Windows Mobile 5)
Serial Port: Standard RS232 Serial Port (Two if using GPS)
Tested Multiprobes
HydroPlus® GIS works with the Hydrolab Series 4 or 4a MiniSonde or DataSonde in TTY mode or Hydrolab DataSonde 3 or Recorder. Either the internal battery option or external battery pack is required. It has also been used with the YSI 6920. If your particular brand of multiprobe isn't listed, we will test it with HydroPlus GIS before you purchase.
GPS Receivers
Compatible GPS receivers that support any of the following GPS protocols:
NMEA (National Maritime Electronics Association)
TSIP (Trimble’s binary protocol)
DeLorme Earthmate binary protocol
