Description	PDensity is a PDA based field data collection system that streamlines the field data collection and reporting of field density tests. Field density tests are performed for quality assurance and quality control purposes during soil compaction on construction projects to ensure the desired performance of soils during and after construction. It facilitates recording field density test data using customized, form-based software for Palm OS based handheld computers. The handheld application consists of smart forms that aid the field technician in logging data and performing calculations. Within the software, text input is minimized using buttons, lists and checkboxes that provide a set of choices for the user to select and information browsers to verify and modify the input data. The software employs a relational database to maintain the links between the various data types. Proctor data is downloaded to the device for specific projects. The user then performs field density tests and records the results in the PDA. A conduit transfers the data from the PDA to an Access database on a personal computer or server for reporting, analysis and visualization.
