8.8 PCM Manager
PCM Manager for the PC
PCM Manager is a PC application that can be
downloaded from the Radiodetection website and
installed onto a PC. Once installed the PCMx locator can
be connected to the PC via a USB connection. Stored
PCMx survey measurements can be uploaded and used
to quickly evaluate the condition and position of coating
defects.
Survey measurements can be viewed and saved as
CSV,XLMS and KML type files.
For more detailed information, a PCM Manager operation
manual is available to view or download from the
Radiodetection website and is also contained within the
PCM Manager download package.
PCM Manager for mobile applications
The PCM Manager app can be downloaded from the
Google Play store onto a smartphone or tablet device.
PCMx survey measurements may be sent via Bluetooth
into the app, allowing users to see real time data plotted
onto a range of graphs.
Google Maps can also be displayed and survey
measurements plotted. Features such as ‘Walk To’
enables operators to walk to previously plotted points on
live surveys or previously completed surveys. The ‘Walk
Forward’ feature enables operators to be alerted at pre-
defined distances while surveying a pipeline.
Completed surveys may be sent via email for quick
evaluation of results and can be sent as a .CSV type file.
If more accurate GPS is required, an external GPS
device can be paired with the smartphone or table and
used to plot survey measurements onto Google Map.
