Overview

Modes

RTK uses modes to accomplish specific tasks. The four modes are:

  • Grade - compares shot values to an underlying surface to show remaining cut/fill or collect topographical data.
  • Stake - finds individual points (usually as part of a line) and displays info relative to the selected point.
  • Survey - this might as well be called new survey. It's very similar to Grade mode but avoids the alignment to the site. This is used when no file exists but the user needs to topo an area. The alignment is arbitrarily created but no benchmarks displayed.
  • Measure - used to document stockpiles most commonly. It's the one mode where we create volumes. While some of functionality is very similar to Grade mode with elements of Survey mode, the order of the data topo is critical for volumes.

Startup Flow

I'd like RTK and Smartdirt to be as close as possible in flow knowing that there will be necessary deviations.

Common

  1. Login
  2. Pick Job File (local or agtek access), (option add a New to the menu in Job File view)
  3. Pick a mode (grade or stake if job is selected) (new survey or measure from Job File menu)

Grade & Stake

  1. Pick Alignment method (Shoot or Recover). (do we use the time after picking the job file to quickly read benchmark and recover info while doing the calculations in the background? Seems like a good opportunity to do a lot of the calculation in the background while the user doesn't need much horsepower.
  2. Open selected mode

Survey

Measure

Unique Features

This is for items which are especially unique to RTK.

A floating semi-transparent shoot button on screen. Taking a shot is probably the single most common thing we do in RTK. On the PPC platform we have a dedicated button on the device. We lack that on Android. We may even want to make this moveable to 4 different positions on each edge. Posssible interface is hold and drag, similar to adding a shortcut to the android main screens.
