The Data-Logging Track Gauge has been developed for the
electronic capture of geometry data within the Switch &
Crossing area.
The operator positions the gauge on the track according
to conditions displayed
on the supplied hand held PDA.
Subsequent geometry data is sent from the gauge via a
wireless connection where it is displayed on the screen of
the PDA.
The software allows the user to create and edit
numerous switch & crossing measurement conditions for
different types of switches and standards worldwide.
All recordings are stored on the PDA on an SD memory card
as a .CSV (comma separated variable) file for immediate
download & review on most PC spreadsheets applications.
The equipment comprises of a lightweight GRP & nylon
track gauge, hand-held PDA including software and
associated chargers.
