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
- Download IventSetup_(version).cab] from [1]
- Connect the Windows Mobile Device to your PC with ActiveSync (Windows XP) or with Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista)
- Copy the setup file för Ivent (IventSetup_(version).cab) to the device
- From within the device's Explorer, install Ivent by double-clicking on the setup file.
- Copy the database file created in PlanStart / Inventory (.sdf) to the device, for example to folder \My Documents\Databases\XX\, where XX is s subfolder to DatabasePath which by default is set to "\My documents\Databases\" (see below concerning settings in app.ini)
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
- .NET Compact Framework: file NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab. Probably not necessary if you have Windows Mobile 6.0 or later
- SQL Server Compact Edition: file sql.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab
When Ivent is started, some configuration settings are read from a file called "app.ini" which you can find in the same folder as Ivent is innstalled in (normally in C:\Program\Ivent\). This file stores settings made in Ivent from the Settings-menu. After making changes in the settings-menu, you must restart Ivent in order for changes to take effect. You can also edit app.ini manually, and the DatabasePath-parameter can actually only be changed this way.
The settings menu is populated from the content of the app.ini file so if you have run earlier version of Ivent before you should remove the old app.ini file and replace it with one of the following:
- English version:
- Swedish version:
DatabasePath=\My Documents\Databases\ ComPort_GPS=COM9 ComPort_Caliper=COM8 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".
