EXHIBIT H: ELECTRONIC PLOT FILES
The Electronic Plot Folders (EPF) will not be distributed until after individual contract awards are made. The process and the files described in EXHIBIT H are subject to change annually. The most up to date process and required files are referenced in the “Field Instructions”.
EPF, File Descriptions
Each plot is represented by a folder named by
State.County.PlotNumber.Cycle.Subcycle.Phase.ManualVersion.STD which is also referred to as
<MIDASfilename>. Example: WA.061.06310.06.09.P2.930.STD
Each prefield plot folder has files for reference and documentation as follows. These files will be provided by The Government, from a storage location subject to change annually.
Historical Reference Files
• Aerial Image: <MIDASfilename>.IMAGE.PDF. A Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle (DOQ) with a 1:12000 scale, with plot center indicated. This file will be updated if plot center is deemed to be labeled incorrectly and loaded with the rest of the EPF files.
• Data <MIDASfilename>.Prevdata<Year>.PDF. All data from the previous visit. Possible aid in relocation, tally, etc. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Previous Plotcard(s): PREVPLOTCARD_State_PlotNumber_Year. Scanned reproductions of previous survey plot cards. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Current Plotcard: <MIDASfilename>.PLOTCARD.doc. Blank plotcard that will be filled out when the plot is completed. This document will be updated by the contract crew and placed in the C:\Midas\PlotPacket|PNWRS\Collected\<MIDASfilename> folder.
• Topographic Map: TOPO_State_PlotNumber. Digital topographic map of plot area with plot center indicated. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Historical Fire and Disease Maps
Current Survey Files
These electronic plot files are directly referenced or updated as plots are measured and placed into
C:\Midas\PlotPackets\PNWRS\Collected\<MIDASfilename> folder| and loaded to a digital Government data storage location. This process may change annually, as well as the required files. The most up to date process and required files are referenced in the “Field Instructions”.
• Plotcard: <MIDASfilename>.PLOTCARD.PDF, Updateable current survey plotcard. To be saved as a .pdf using Microsoft word.
• Image: <MIDASfilename>.IMAGE.PDF. A PDF document of local map, generally showing roads, trails, topo, etc.
• Data Printout: <MIDASfilename>.PRINTOUT.PDF. Required MIDAS data printout file
(pdf). These files are created by MIDAS Control Panel as part of required documentation of plot sampling.
• Landowner Contact Form: <MIDASfilename>.LCF.PDF when required.
Note: If there are additional items you feel would aid in the relocation and/or remeasurement of the plot, they may be stored as part of the permanent EPF for that plot. Examples would be additional reference point(s) with GPS readings. While not required, these are encouraged if they could help in the relocation, or aid in the analysis, of the plot data. Plots with minimal field referencing, i.e. wilderness plots, plots or RPs along trails or roads, may benefit especially with additional items.

Connect the Triumph-2 directly to a computer using a USB.
2. Open NetView & Modem on the computer
3. Connect the device using the USB connection, go to the “Files” option from the list on the left. Choose the files to download to the computer from the device. Note:
This same screen can also be used to rename files collected without the iPhone interface.
Post-processing .jps files using the DPOS online tool (not required)
This tool works well for post-processing and will give a report (standard or extended format) with the corrected positions and information about the base stations used in the solution. As of now, it does not show the number of positions collected only the number of minutes. The major drawback of using this is that it will throw an error if you try to put files that were collected on different dates in the same project so each day’s positions just need to be post-processed separately.
A. Go to this website (use Google Chrome).
B. Register for an account or login.
C. Open the folder with the .jps files in the location you saved them from iTunes, drag the files you want to post-process into the webpage. Adjust parameters as necessary. Make sure the “Network” option is set to CORS. Give it a project name, set to “Auto” to get the info from the device and hit “Submit.”
D. Go the “Browse Reports” page and wait for the project to finish. Click the name to see a map of the base stations it used and view the report. Click the icons to the right of the name to download a .pdf or .txt file of the report. Useful resources
• JPS Viewer- this program can open the raw .jps files and summarize them.
• Justin Link- this program is similar to Justin, the JAVAD post-processing software, but it does not have the post processing capabilities, so it does not cost. It can load .jps files in an ArcMap type interface and make certain edits such as datum or antennae configuration. It is also a useful way to quickly view the point locations over NAIP imagery.
