TachyUsb – Android Application
Brief Description:
TachyUsb
is an app for android 4.0 and later to be used with total stations. The program,
written by the software engineer Thoralf Baum and the archaeologist Leif
Steguweit, was specifically designed to help archaeologists and palaeontologists with data management in excavations. Data
fields and notes are recorded together with each measure point in a convenient
work flow.
PLEASE NOTE:
You need a special hardware to get this app
connected to the total station.
See HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS below.
The program connects with several Leica
total station models. Versions for other models from Topcon, Leica and Sokkia
are forthcoming. For more information, see the program documentation
(www.tachyusb.de).
Your measure data can be viewed or
exported via our WEB front end.
Your Measure Data:
The data
that is stored on your Android device is uploaded via the menu entry “Send
Database…” in the main screen of the TachyUsb App.
Your measurement records are
personalized with your e-mail address that has been provided to the app.
You access
them via: http://www.tachyusb.de/index_data.php
where you have to logon with the same e-mail address.
Hardware Requirements:
This version can connect to the
total station only via an AOA RS232 adapter, e.g. Digitus
DA-70160 (not to be confused with usual RS232-USB adapters!). Furthermore the
AOA adapter needs an extra USB power supply (e.g. battery pack).
If you need assistance purchasing
the hardware, please contact us: help@tachyusb.de.
The android device is connected via
the Micro-USB jack with the RS232-AOA adapter and the Leica RS232 cable (9 pin
jack).
A later version, expected until July
2014, will be able to utilize standard RS232-adapters as well as the Leica USB
cable (requires the Android USB OTG feature on your device).
