Arc Geo Logger will be here tomorrow!!! I am looking forward to it.

You think you can do a video of it actually working?I mean out in the field with a MD,I see how it beeps on squares,but I'd like to really see what it can do

I'm no computer tech or electronic whiz but if recording changes in signal strength is what the logger does, would it not be possible to plug the detector into the line-in/mic-in port of a laptop and have appropriate software record the changes in signal strength? That would do away with the need for an intermediary device.

They had server problems, but it's back up. About the computer sure you can do that! But I would not carry a laptop in the places where I hunt! Anyone that goes where no man has gone before knows what I' talking about. Plus problems with the computer batteries. A full charge on the logger will let you hunt up to a week or more. The heavy duty water proof case can take a knock or two compared to a laptop. 

The 2-box by discovery still has the cave mode which show ground density changes. So you can see where hole were dug before old privies, etc.

Hobbyist have you been to my site most of your question can be answered there. I have the software on my site for viewing the plot. That laptop looks nice for 1800. I bought my mini laptop for 300! I backpack my laptop in a tough rugged box and use it in the field. Most of my customers do and keep a small laptop with them and view the plots on site. The point I was making was you want to carry around a laptop and take samples walking in area sometimes where you may have to take a 2 foot step up or down! It's just not a good idea. One dropped laptop "cracked LCD" can ruin your day and cost you more than a logger would. The software is on my site free to download if you want to see it. If you want a logger that will output the data USB to a computer to log while you walk let me know. That's no problem.

Or if some programmer would be interest in writing the software I would be interested also. But cost for my customers at this point is low for the information return using the Arc-Geo. My system has out performed GPR system in mineralized soil. I do not want to cost my customers more than they need to pay. I am doing everything my self at this point to keep costs down. I would be open to real time plotting. Because I can program the logger to do both. Output the string and keep a file on the logger just in cast. I may go to blue tooth if I can find someone to write the software. But no matter which way you go there are always problems. I like to keep it simple and to the point. The less bells and whistles the better. I don't want anything breaking in the field. I have had ZERO logger repairs or any repairs on my equipment sense I started. If I can get someone to write the computer software you will see it on my site. Thanks for your questions.
