Trans_in makes the transect data collection
process efficient and precise by providing a standard routine for data entry.
Helpful for any kind of transect data, trans_in was specifically
written for data collected with the GRS Densitometer.
Trans_in will check the transect data as it is entered into a data
collector helping to prevent problems caused by data collection errors. Trans_in
will run on any MS-DOS based hand-held data collector with CGA (text) capabilities.
Trans_in has been designed to allow data collection using a handheld digital data recorder as an easy-to-use alternative to paper plot-cards for data entry. Most handhelds have enough storage for many days worth of data. (although, it is recommended that you down load data on a daily basis in case of loss or damage). After the data is collected using a handheld data recorder, it can be quickly transferred to a PC for processing or storage Trans_in can also be run on any Windows PC to enter data that has already been recorded using paper plot cards.
Trans_in has the added benefit of error flagging during the data input in the field. If data is out of range or of the wrong type, trans_in will stop the entry until the error is corrected. This prevents the user from entering data that is blatantly wrong such as missing data, invalid species codes, spectral contribution codes, or points out of sequence. On-site error correction helps to prevent the need to estimate corrections or throw out plots which have errors discovered during post-collection processing.
