摘要： An apparatus for measuring and storing a tree characteristic that preferably is tree diameter and other data related to location, variety and grade of a tree being measured. The apparatus has a handle, a wand extending therefrom, and a measurement head carried by the wand for measuring diameter. The wand has a control handle connected by a cable to a movable caliper jaw carried by the head to measure a diameter of a tree between the movable jaw and another jaw. A vernier having measurement locator slots and a home position slot is carried by the cable and communicates with slot sensors that send signals to an on-board computer to determine direction and distance of jaw movement for enabling the distance between the jaws to be determined. Two optoisolators and the computer comprise a jaw motion and direction detecting quadrature detector. A third optoisolator detects when the movable jaw is in its home position. The computer includes a microcontroller, a memory for storing tree data, a port for transferring stored data from memory to a PC, and inputs for selecting and storing data. A memory cartridge can be used to store tree data. Software running on the PC enables data to be downloaded, sorted, stored, displayed or printed. The software is also used to configure cartridges by downloading at least a portion of a master list of locations and varieties to a cartridge being configured that can later be selected in the field during apparatus operation.
摘要翻译：一种用于测量和存储树特征的装置，其优选地是树直径和与待测树的位置，品种和等级相关的其他数据。该装置具有把手，从其延伸的棒，以及由该棒用于测量直径的测量头。魔杖具有通过电缆连接到由头部承载的可动卡钳夹的控制手柄，以测量可动爪和另一颚之间的树的直径。具有测量定位器槽和起始位置槽的游标器由电缆承载并且与向板载计算机发送信号的槽传感器通信，以确定钳口运动的方向和距离，以确定钳口之间的距离。两个光隔离器和计算机包括钳口运动和方向检测正交检测器。第三个光隔离器检测何时可动颚板处于其原始位置。计算机包括微控制器，用于存储树数据的存储器，用于将存储的数据从存储器传送到PC的端口，以及用于选择和存储数据的输入。可以使用内存盒来存储树数据。 PC上运行的软件可以下载，分类，存储，显示或打印数据。该软件还用于通过将位置和品种的主列表的至少一部分下载到被配置为可以在设备操作期间在现场中选择的盒中来配置盒。
