TCWinCE Features

Timber Cruise for Palm or Pocket Sized PCs using Windows CE(TCWinCE), allows you to collect TCruise data with a Palm or Pocket sized Windows CE powered PC. The program uses a grid control for data input. Thus, the cruise data input interface for TCruise, and TCWinCE are essentially identical to minimze the data recording errors caused by the field recorder, and cruise program having radically different interfaces.

Species, product, and grade codes can be edited in the field
Cruise parameters and descriptive information can be edited in the field
Required sample sizes can be computed in the field
