About Ivent

Ivent is an application to be installed on a handheld Windows Mobile device. It is used for field measurements (estimations) of sample plot data. The inventory of a sample plot includes the registration of tree and site characteristics. The application can retrieve data from peripheral devices (through Bluetooth (TM)), including a digital caliper (for tree diameter measurement), a clinometer (for tree height measurement), a GPS, and a new tree positioning device (PosTex).

System requirements

  • Windows Mobile device with Windows Mobile 5 or later.

Prerequisites

  • None.

Installation

  1. Download IventSetup_(version).cab] from [1]
  2. Connect the Windows Mobile Device to your PC with ActiveSync (Windows XP) or with Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista)
  3. Copy the setup file för Ivent (IventSetup_(version).cab) to the device
  4. From within the device's Explorer, double-click on IventSetup_(version).cab by clicking on the cab-fil (IventSetup.cab) #Copy the demo database (Holmen.sdf) to the device, folder \My Documents\Databases\Holmen\
  5. It may be necessary to install some additional libraries, depending on the configuration on the device. You can find these components (cab-files) here: ftp://salix.slu.se/download/heureka/Ivent/. The files are
    1. .NET Compact Framework: file NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab. Probably not necessary if you have Windows Mobile 6.0 or later
    2. SQL Server Compact Edition: file sql.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab


When Ivent is started an ini-fil called "app.ini" is read. This file is in the same folder as Ivent is installed in. Example of the content of "app.ini":

DatabasePath=\My Documents\Databases\
ComPort_GPS=COM9
ComPort_Caliper=COM8

**ComPort_DME=COM7
**ComPort_HME=COM6

PosTexNumberOfValues=3
PosTexMaxDiff=1.0
** Intervall (ms)
LaserTimerIntervall=1000
  • You may have to edit the port settings so that they match your mobile device. TDS Nomad uses two ports for Bluetooth, ports COM8 and COM9.
  • If the caliper is connected to COM8 then the ini-file can be left as it is.
  • If you use an external GPS och connect it to COM9 the no editing is needed in the ini-file.
  • The caliper is a "Digitech Professional" with software "Digitech 11".
