Uploading Reports to the Slingshot Website
Completed job reports may be uploaded to the Raven Slingshot website using a free Slingshot user account.
The Slingshot website offers tools for creating, editing and archiving job files from the Viper Pro and may also
be used to export a job report in the shapefile format.
File Transfer Methods
Files may be uploaded to the Slingshot website using either of the following methods:
•
Wirelessly using the Slingshot Field Hub.
•
Via a computer connected to the Raven Slingshot website.
Note:
Both transfer methods require a free user account to access the Slingshot website.
Job files transferred to the Raven Slingshot website cannot be transferred back to the Viper Pro
field computer to resume data logging or mapping as-applied information previously in progress.
Do not delete job files from the field computer until the job has been completed.
Using the Slingshot Field Hub
If a Slingshot Field Hub is connected to the Viper Pro, completed job files may be transferred to the Raven
Slingshot website wirelessly. Refer to the Wireless File Transfer section on page 202 for details on setting up
file transfer options.
Using a Computer
The USB File Transfer and Automatic File Maintenance features may be used to transfer completed job reports
to a USB flash drive connected to the Viper Pro field computer. Reports may then be transferred to the
Slingshot website using a home or office computer with an internet connection.
Refer to the USB File Transfer and Advanced File Maintenance section on page 203 or Automatic File
Maintenance section on page 207 for details on transferring the information on performing these file
maintenance procedures.
Note:
To create the required job data package (.jdp) file required for upload to the Raven Slingshot site,
a job or report file must be moved, copied or exported to the USB flash drive. Refer to the USB File
Transfer and Advanced File Maintenance section on page 203 for more information about
performing these actions on Viper Pro job files.
