Paperless Survey
Pages under construction 8 December 2018 to …
Here are some applications that facilitate collection of cave survey data without the need for pencil and paper. Well, maybe you could use the paper as a laser target. The applications all work best with a DistoX, a tool that collects measurement data and transmits it in real time to a hand held computing device, allowing the cave features to be sketched around the survey centreline. See Therion Workflow for a general overview of Therion workflow.
The following pages are not intended to be comprehensive user guides, rather, to describe some characteristics of each application, and give tips and workflows that smooth the way to a pleasant Therion experience once you have finished in the cave. First up, some general tips on using a distoX.
