Installing and running 3M™ ArcPad™ application scripts 
 
Using Trimble™ GeoXT™ and Thales™ MobileMapper™ CE.NET 
 
ArcPad is a stand-alone application that runs on the GPS device. Many GPS 
devices including Trimble GeoXT, Thales MobileMapper CE.NET 
support ArcPad
 
3M provides the application scripts that would need to be installed on the GPS 
device. These scripts provide interface to the 3M Dynatel Locator and the 
ArcPad application / GPS device. The scripts are designed to provide Job 
management functions and provide mapping functionality. 
 
As the data records come in from the Locator, the record is matched against 
previous records. If there is a matching record from an existing “Layer”, the 
feature point is added to that layer with all the other GPS data. If the record 
belongs to a new type of “description”, a new layer is automatically created and 
the feature point is attached. 
 
Please refer to the section “Mode 2 operation – GIS mode” for more details. 
 
Installation of 3M™ ArcPad™ application scripts 
 
It is expected that ArcPad application is already installed on the GPS device. 
The 3M ArcPad application scripts run on GPS devices that support 
Arcpad scripting. The scripts were tested on Trimble GeoXT and Thales 
MobileMapper CE.NET. 
 
The installation of 3M Arcpad scripts would involve copying the following 
NINE files into the “Applets” folder of the Arcpad installation where Arcpad.exe 
exists on the GPS device. 
 
1. 
3MLocator.bmp 
  2. 
IDShapefile.apl 
3. 
IDShapefile.vbs 
  4. 
jobs.dbf 
5. 
language.xml 
  6. 
Locator.apa 
7. 
Locator.vbs   8. 
Sambaman.BMP 
9. SambaMan.ico 
 
These script files are provided in a zip file and can be downloaded from the 3M 
website at www.3M.com/dynatel 
 
The zip file needs to be extracted to a local folder. 
Typically, Microsoft ActiveSync application can be used to explore the device.
