Accident and Crime Scene Evidence Collection Software
TOP TEN FEATURES

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

  • Points and line work displayed on-screen as you shoot - no more missed shots.

  • Tap and shoot for fast and easy collection of measurement data.

  • Zooming and panning within the scene.

  • 3D view allows visual verification of point elevations.

  • Pop-up 'Smart menus' allow quick access to information and settings.

  • You can customize your Evidence Recorder using keyboard shortcuts.

 

TOTAL STATION SUPPORT

  • Supports all commonly-used total stations, including robotics.

  • Most instruments can be controlled directly from Evidence Recorder toolbars.

  • Supports LTI Angle Encoder and the Impulse Laser.

  • Supports rough data collection with NMEA GPS devices.

  • Manual entry mode for training and familiarization.

 

AUTOMAP Library and Description Lists

  • Easy to use AutoMAP libraries can be automatically synchronized with MapScenes.

  • Each user can have their own custom library - no codes to remember!

  • AutoMAP point and line codes are quickly selected from a scrollable drop-down list that is completely customizable. It is sorted alphabetically with first letter key stroke recognition to zoom you to the description you want.

  • New descriptions can be created in the field. This will be automatically be updated in MapScenes Pro upon the next synchronization.

  • The AutoMap editor give you complete control over the visibility of points and lines based on descriptions used to code points.

 

ACTIVE LINES LIST

  • Users can have as many lines in progress as needed.

  • Easily switch back and forth between active lines by picking from a drop-down list, a toggle button, or by selecting a line on-screen.

  • Evidence Recorder automatically numbers active lines with the same code - no more having to remember how many EPs you've used!

  • When you're finished with a line, it can be easily removed from the list.

 

ADVANCED SETUP AND MEASUREMENT OPTIONS

  • Familiar and intuitive setup and reference measurement procedure.

  • Setup procedure allows advanced mapping techniques.

  • Check Reference Measurement function to check for and correct setup problems.

  • Full support for offset measurements by angle and by distance.

  • Vertical scene mapping and remote elevations for prism-based instruments.

  • Undo Last Shot function to undo measurements taken in error.

  • All measurement data is immediately saved to non-volatile memory - no need to remember to save.

DATA REVIEW OPTIONS

  • Points (coordinates and raw data) can be reviewed at any time.

  • Automatic display of measurement data on-screen after each shot.

  • Point and line information accessible on-screen through pop-up 'Smart menus'.

 

WRITTEN AND AUDIO NOTES

  • Append written and audio notes to any shot (hardware must have microphone and speaker).

  • Notes can be retrieved or played from within MapScenes Pro when the scene is downloaded.

  • Write a note to the raw data file at any time.

 

SMART TOOLBARS

  • Quick access to commonly used functions.

  • Tapping on a Points and Lines will automatically activate the smart toolbars.



 

DATA SECURITY

  • Most compatible data collectors utilize compact flash memory cards.

  • Unless deliberately deleted your scenes are always safe.

  • Use the scene menu to open the most recently saved version of a previously mapped scene.

  • Each measurement is automatically saved.

  • Memory cards can be removed and read through a card reader.

  • When new projects are created you have the option of encrypting the raw file. This ensures that only authorized personnel and software can access your data file.

 

CALCULATION AND SURFACE MODELING

  • Create a real time digital terrain model (DTM) for complexe scenes. Make sure the data you've gathered is correct before you leave the scene.

  • Trilateraton and baseline offset routines are includes for those customers without total stations.

  • Built in calculator to help you calculate crunch numbers at the scene.

  • Advanced calculations used in the surveying industry included to help you compute complex geometry points.
