Arcpad

I am new to Arcpad, and running Arcpad 10 with an SX BLUE II. I am just wondering how to populate a column with VDOP, HDOP and EPE when taking a point. I can see with the tracklog that they are recorded, but don't fully understand how they are populated.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Sincerely,

Brian

If I'm understanding your question correctly, I don't think you actually have to populate a column with the VDOP, HDOP and EPE when taking a point. Instead, I believe it is already created and stored in an attribute table of the tracklog. An article on esri's resource center says;

"For each point in the tracklog shapefile, ArcPad captures an x, y, and z coordinate with a user-specified m value. ArcPad also captures a variety of information received from the GPS receiver and stores this information in the attributes associated with the point. These attributes can be viewed by using the Add Layer tool to add the tracklog shapefile to an ArcPad map and then by using the Identify tool to display the selected point�??s attributes."

If you haven't already seen this article, it may give you some useful information.

Hopes this helps!

After some further searching, I found this applet that allows you to add GPS information to the attribute table. It has the download and install instructions for it.

Summary
This Applet automatically adds GPS information to the attribute table when a feature is created or modified, if the table contains specific fields.
