AGSO FieldPad
The AGSO FieldPad is a digital notebook for storing field geological data. It can be run
without MapPad but then the GPS position will have to be entered manually. There are a
number of forms or screens that can be scrolled through by using the up or down arrows
located at the bottom of the screen. The dot between the arrows brings up a directory of
all
the forms. Pressing on the form name will take you straight to the desired form (Figure 6).
Data entry into the AGSO FieldPad is either via pulldown lists of acceptable values or as
free text. Tapping the diamond beside the name of each field will display either a list of
values or a clean page into which a description can be hand written. Although the FieldPad
will not prevent you from writing as much as you like into the free-text fields it will only
store the number of characters that the OZROX database can store. In most cases this is 64
characters, and therefore any extra characters will be truncated. Where a pulldown list
exists for a field, data entry can only be from the pulldown list. The following descriptions
of the forms state whether the fields are free text or have lists of attributes attached. In the
case of free-text fields, the number of allowable characters is given.
