Laser Rangefinder Data

To collect tree heights , follow and other data (e.g., distance, azimuth, GPS coordinates) with a laser rangefinder, begin by following the standard cruise workflow to edit a plot and open the tree list. When MobileMap is configured using the steps above, attribute fields that can be populated directly from the connected laser rangefinder will have their column headings highlighted in cyan. In the example below, an a LaserTech TruPulse 360R is configured to populate the total height (alias: Ht), distance to tree (alias: Dist) and azimuth to tree (alias: Az) to tree fields. MobileMap is also configured to populate the GPS location at time of laser rangefinder data capture into GPS offset latitude and longitude fields which (these fields are currently hidden from the tree list in the image below, but are configured in settings to receive the offset latitude and longitude).

...

If you do not see the cyan highlights either a) the fields settings have not been properly configured in settings (Settings > MobileMap Cruise > Trees), or b) the laser range finder has not been properly paired, configured or connected. If collection was previously working, then the problem is likely the Bluetooth connection (rather than configuration). The easiest way to resolve this is not ontypically to verify that the laser rangefinder is on (has not 'gone to sleep') then close and re-open the tree list. If you find that this happens repeatedly during data collection, contact our support team.

When a measurement is taking taken with the laser rangefinder, it will may be immediately sent to MobileMap , and (LTI) or may need to be manually sent via the ‘Send’ button (Haglof). MobileMap will be listening for the transmission and once it is sent, MobileMap will populate the relevant attribute fields automatically and play an audio alert to notify you that the data were received. For some devices (e.g., LTI) you may hear multiple alerts as individual measurements are sent in batches (e.g., first the horizontal distance and azimuth, then the tree height).

LaserTech TruPulse 200

When using an TruPulse 200 and recording tree heights, use height (HT) mode. If the distance to tree is also desired, use the down arrow on the TruPulse 200 to select missing line (ML) mode
