File Maintenance and Editing Reports
Uploading Reports to the Slingshot Web Site
Completed job reports may be uploaded to the Raven Slingshot web site using a free Slingshot user account.
The Slingshot web site 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.
Note: Do not use the Automatic File Maintenance feature to create reports for a Slingshot
account.
The Automatic File Maintenance feature does not export the types to a USB flash drive necessary
for creating Slingshot reports and will remove job data from the Viper Pro. Job data transferred
using the Automatic File Maintenance feature cannot be reinstalled onto the field computer for
export to Slingshot. Refer to the USB File Transfer and Advanced File Maintenance section on
page 219 for instructions on outputting the necessary file types.
File Transfer Methods
Files may be uploaded to the Slingshot web site using either of the following methods:
• Wirelessly using the Slingshot Field Hub.
• Via a computer connected to the Raven Slingshot web site.
Note: Both transfer methods require a free user account to access the Slingshot web site.
Job files transferred to the Raven Slingshot web site 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 web site wirelessly. Refer to the Wireless File Transfer section on page 217 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 data
packages to a USB flash drive connected to the Viper Pro field computer. Data packages may then be
transferred to the Slingshot web site using a home or office computer with an internet connection to create a
job report.
Refer to the USB File Transfer and Advanced File Maintenance section on page 219 or Automatic File
Maintenance section on page 222 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 exported to the USB flash drive. Refer to the USB File Transfer and
Advanced File Maintenance section on page 219 for more information about using the Export
action on Viper Pro job files.
