Q. Will
Pocket Zone work with The Fire Zone
or is it just for accident reconstruction?
A. Pocket
Zone is ideal for creating a pre-fire
diagram at the scene using the Pace
Mode feature. The Pace Mode method
of drawing is fast and easy, using
the length of your own stepping pace
to map out the site. Next, open the
Pocket Zone file in The Fire Zone for
additional details and to view it in
3D.

Q. While
shooting continuous curves when
the lines actually appeared on screen
they were "lines" not "curves" until

A. This
is normal. The Pocket Zone draws them
as lines until the function is complete
and then they convert to a curve.

Q. Pocket
Zone will not install correctly on
my IPAC handheld computer.
A. Before
running Pocket Zone on an IPAQ close
out all other programs and reset the
pocket pc. This will ensure there is
sufficient memory.

message in Pocket Zone when trying

Q. Pocket
Zone will not communicate with my device.
A. Make
sure you don't have any software that's
clogging up the comm port such as an
external keypad program. If so, you
need to open the keyboard software
and click the "disable" box.
b) Make sure you've selected the
correct driver for your laser device.
c) Make sure the communication settings
on the laser device match the driver
settings.
d) Make sure your cable is plugged
in correctly. Check your connections
for bent prongs.
e) Start up and zero set the laser
device and then connect the Pocket
PC and run Pocket Zone.

Q. When
using a Sokkia device, the download
is not successful.
A. This
usually means that the Baud rates do
not match. It needs to be the same
on both their hardware and in the WCOMMS
settings for the two to communicate.
Use the "1200" baud rate
as the default setting for both.

Q. When
using a Sokkia device I get a message
telling me "No POS found" when
trying to convert to an ASCII file.
A. The
POS (positions) is not turned to the
on position on the data collector.
To turn it on, you need to have "Yes" for
the POS setting on their data collector.

Q. When
using my Sokkia SDR31 I cannot find
the raw data when trying to convert
it with the Coordinate Data Table.
A. The
SDR31 and Sokkia Card readers generate
raw files without the required .sdr
file extension. Using windows explorer
navigate to this directory:
C:\Program Files\CAD Zone\Crash Zone
7\WCOMMS
Select the raw data file and rename
it with the .sdr file extension. (Example:
403331.sdr)
Reopen the diagram program and convert
the file using the SDR Download command
from the File menu.

Q. How
do I prevent my data being lost if
the batteries on my IPAC go dead?
A. It's
always a good idea to install the Pocket
Zone to a flash card (Storage Card)
on devices such as IPAQ's that will
lose data with a hard re-boot or when
the batteries die.
Install Pocket Zone in the Main Memory
and run it from there. Also install
or copy the Pocket Zone executable
to the Storage Card. If you lose the
program from Main Memory, simply copy
it from the Storage Card back to Main
Memory.
The program is usually run from My
Device\Program Files\Pocket Zone
There is concern that Flash, SanDisk,
Storage cards that are over 128M are
unstable. This would include 256M,
512M, and higher. So, we recommend
you use cards no greater than 128M.
Many of the newer Pocket PC's are
including more permanent storage built
in to the device. This would resolve
the issue of using an external storage
card.

Q. I
need to reinstall my Pocket Zone, but
it won't install correctly.
A. You
will need to first uninstall Pocket
Zone completely and then reinstall
it. You should uninstall Pocket Zone
from your desktop or laptop computer.
This is the computer you sync to your
pocket pc with. A small "kernel" of
Pocket Zone is installed on the computer
used to install to the handheld device.
On the Desktop or Laptop PC, go to "Add/Remove" programs
from your Control Panel (Start Menu).
Find Pocket Zone on the list, select
it, then uninstall it.
Next uninstall Pocket Zone on your
Pocket PC
Click on Start (pull-down).
Select Settings.
Click on the System tab.
Select Remove Programs.
Select and Remove the Pocket Zone
program.
Next, go to Start, Programs, and File
Explorer
Go to the Windows folder
Go to the AppMgr folder
Hold down your stylus on any CAD Zone
/ Pocket Zone files and delete.
Reset your Pocket PC, Sync to desktop,
Install Pocket Zone
Once you've installed your latest
version of Pocket Zone you should create
a backup of your handheld files. Backup
your pocket pc in case of a power failure
(dead batteries). If you don't back-up
your system you may lose Pocket Zone
and all of your collected data. You
will have to re-install Pocket Zone.
You will also have to re-enter your
access key.
Your handheld will have a "backup" utility
under the Programs or System directory.
See the your handheld computers user's
manual for instruction on using the
backup utility.
