The SurveyCERT PDA app can read and chart logged survey data for real-time or post
survey analysis. It can also export KML files for interface with GIS/mapping systems.
NOTE: SurveyCERT is only compatible with Bluetooth enabled PDAs running
Windows Mobile 6.5 as operating system.
Stored data can also be transferred using the USB connection to RD Manager to be
analyzed by the software's built-in SurveyCERT capabilities. Refer to the RD Manager
operation manual for more info on how to retrieve store survey data.
RD Manager's SurveyCERT functionality can be used for post survey analysis, interface to
Google Maps
and easy export to GIS/mapping systems.

CALSafe
CALSafe enabled RD8000 locator models (logging and GPS only) are equipped with
a system which does not permit them to function once they are beyond the expected
service/calibration date.
When the unit is within 30 days of the service due date the unit will display at startup the
number of days left. The locator will stop functioning on the service due date.
You can edit the CALSafe service due date or disable this function using the RD Manager
PC software. Refer to its operation manual for further information.

Automatic Logging
RD8000 logging and GPS locator models offer a powerful data logging system which
records all the instrument's critical parameters (including GPS position, if available) and
warnings in its internal memory at the rate of 1/sec.
The automatic logging system is always active and cannot be disabled. Its memory is
capable of storing at least 1 year's worth of normal usage data – based on 4 hours
operation per day, 5 days per week, 20 days per month.
Logs can be retrieved using the RD Manager PC application for usage analysis and
survey validation. Refer to its operation manual for further information.
GPS
The RD8000 locator can be paired to an external GPS module or use its internal GPS
module (GPS models only) to be able to detect and store its latitude, longitude and
accurate UTC time alongside its location data using SurveyCERT or the automatic
logging system (GPS and logging models only).
The presence of GPS data allows for the data to be mapped easily and to export and
save the information directly into GIS systems.
