Recovering data marked as sent from DistoX2
Hello Not strictly Therion, but.. Somewhere I think I have read about how to get data from a DistoX2 once it has been marked as sent it is still in the memory. (My pelicase broke on the way out of the cave and the pda was flooded, luckily the Distox2 survived) So I can see the data in the DistoX, so I can just type it in manually, but it would be better to get it off electronically, then all I have lost is the diagrams, which where not much, it is a grim bit of cave to survey. Anyway if anyone knows how to get the data to be resent, I would be most data, my web searching skills do not seem to be coming up with an answer thanks Andrew
andrew, topodroid has a function to read the distox2 memory (and optionally save it to a text file). it is slow, and it has no way to know where the most recent data are. may want to read it in small chunks. cheers marco On Mar 23, 2016 12:25, "Andrew Atkinson" <andrew@wotcc.org.uk> wrote:

And if you don't have an android device to hand you can get Marco's Linux code (topolinux) to do this too. However it is not packaged (I never finished that) and has various issues, so you can be pleased that you don't need it. (But I must finish that packaging (combined with Mateusz's dxtool) sometime as getting data out of distoX on Linux remains painful) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
