ActoGraph

An application to easily record data during an observation

The ActoGraph application allows to easily record data during a field observation and to transfer them to the ActoGraph software for further analysis.

The application contains four tabs [Board], [Observe], [Data] and [Graph] that are described below:

[Board] is the home page where you can save and load your previous observations (or "chronicles"). This tab also offers access to a cloud to transfer chronicles from and to the ActoGraph software. This cloud is meant as a transfer tool only and required a registration (free) on the actograph website.

[Observe] contains a set of buttons to record timestamped data during an observation. The buttons are specific to each chronicle and can be adjusted to deal with unforeseen circumstances. The import of a chronicle from the ActoGraph software includes the layout of the buttons set in this software.

[Data] presents the recorded data in a table.

[Graph] displays the "activity graph" generated from your observation data. The application does not allow to customize this graph unlike the ActoGraph software.

There is an auto-save mechanism to avoid loss of data. A save is created every 15 minutes by default and can be loaded from the "parameter" windows. The interval between two saves can be adjusted.

Have a nice observation !
