Juniper Aspect Owner’s Manual
Collecting Data on a Mobile Computer
Mapping data is collected in the field by a mobile worker
on a Mesa Rugged Notepad ™ or an Archer Field PC ®
running Juniper Aspect mobile software.
Preparing to Collect Data
Before you go into the field to collect data, complete the
following tasks:
1. Place a screen protector on the mobile computer,
charge the battery pack(s), and review the owner’s
manual for the mobile computer so you have a
basic understanding of how it works. (Manuals are
available on our website at www.junipersys.com/
Juniper-Systems/support/Documentation .)
2. Make sure the information you need from the
desktop computer has been loaded onto the mobile
computer, including:
a. Juniper Aspect mobile software. The mobile
software is downloaded from the desktop version
of the software (see Chapter 3).
b. Projects set up on the desktop computer.
c. Object catalogs to be used with the project. All
object catalogs are downloaded, created and
edited only on the desktop computer, including
the Default Objects Catalog.
d. Updates made on the desktop computer to
existing projects or objects since your mobile
computer was last synchronized with the desktop
computer.
3. Set up the GPS receiver in the software.
Note: The GPS receiver used with Juniper Aspect must
be configured correctly. See the Appendix for details.
4. Understand what data you are going to be collecting
and how the software works on the mobile computer.
5. Know when you should synchronize collected data
with the desktop computer.
