Page 232 Druid Technology Why error occurs during data downloading? There are two possible causes. 1. Existing download result inconsistent with new download workflow. After data downloading, the data download link of a device during a period is listed in Download > Result. Since we have updated the download workflow, when you download data of the device of the same period for the second time, inconsistency happens, and error may occur.
Page 233 Druid Technology Why is the download link blank or missing after the download is complete? Please refer to Downloading data for more information. v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 234 Druid Technology What is the meaning of each field in the downloaded CSV data? For the explanation of the field in the downloaded CSV data, please refer to CSV field explanation v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 235 Druid Technology Why does one obvious GNSS error occurs sometimes? Sometimes one obvious GNSS error occurs among all the reasonable GNSS fixes because of "static drift", an inherent feature of GNSS. It means when a GNSS terminal is stationary, its positioning is often changing, which can be caused by being under a roof, near tall buildings and walls, close to water surface or in a magnetic field.
Page 236 Druid Technology What’s the accuracy of GNSS fixes by DEBUT devices? Two terms are mentioned when talking about GNSS accuracy. DOP (Dilution of Precision), a value to describe the effect of geometry of used satellites on GNSS positional measurement precision. According to...
Page 237 98% within 10m. The above mentioned testing was done in an ideal environment. In actual use of the device, there are many factors that can impact GNSS accuracy. For more information, see Why does one obvious GNSS error occurs sometimes? v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 238 Druid Technology Why is GNSS data sometimes blank? When GNSS positioning fails, you can see a - mark in the Latest Location column of the device. Also, when you check the GNSS data detail in Ecotopia App or check the downloaded GNSS data, you can see the values of Longitude and Latitude are both 200.00000.
Page 239 Dense forests, strong magnetic fields, being close to open waters , etc. can cause GNSS signal blocking or interference, and leads to positioning failures. Antenna Damage The external antennas of some models or even GNSS modules are broken due to force majeure like bird’s pecking or predators, etc.. v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 240 Druid Technology What is ODBA? ODBA is short for Overall Dynamic Body Acceleration. It is a new acceleration index which quantifies the three-dimensional movement of animals as the value of acceleration and is assumed to be a proxy for activity-specific measurement and has been used in the field of wild animal ecology.
Page 241 v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 242 Druid Technology How to obtain acceleration raw data? Can I set the collecting interval? Now there are two ways to obtain the acceleration raw data: 1. You can use Ecotopia App to obtain real time acceleration raw data using INTELINK. The obtained data will be stored to your mobile phone.
Page 243 v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 244 Druid Technology How can I know the direction of X/Y/Z axis of ACC data as represented on a device? The actual direction of the three-axis accelerometer varies for different devices. You can use the data tagging feature of INTELINK to determine the direction of the three axises. If your devices do not support INTELINK, contact us for more information.
Page 245 Place NANO on a stable place as below. Value Z is close to -1000 v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 246 Place NANO on a stable place as below. v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...

Page 250 So we can get that the direction of the three axes in the device is illustrated as below: v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 251 v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 252 Druid Technology Is the data downloaded from data center preprocessed? All of the data you download from Ecotopia data center has not been processed in any way. Please note that only ODBA is an exception. ODBA is a value uses the algorithm to quantify the data collected by the accelerometer into an indicator that can express the intensity level of animal activity.
Page 253 Druid Technology What is Beacon data and Proximity data? Beacon data is displayed on the page of a terminal device to show when the terminal device enters or exits the INTELINK range of different gateway devices. When a terminal device enters the INTELINK range of a gateway device, the terminal device will use the GNSS info of the gateway device instead of its own GNSS data before it exits.
Page 254 Druid Technology Why is there repetitive GNSS data and minor time deviation for Argos devices? Sometimes you may find repetitive GNSS data for Argos devices and minor time deviation for each piece as shown below. As for data repetitiveness, you can find the reason by clicking here to know how does it happens.
Page 255 What does a user need to do before using an Argos device from Druid? To use Druid’s Argos devices, Argos satellite service is needed. Your research program needs to be approved and each device is identified by a specific ID number.
Page 256 You need one PTT ID per device. User requirements - this field is for CLS information purposes only. It has no bearing on what data or services you will receive. You can select as many as you want. Druid recommends checking the following boxes:...
Page 257 CLS to confirm that your information has been received. Step 2: Create a guest account & send necessary info to Druid As most users will use their Argos IDs for different projects, we recommend that you create a guest account for each project and allocate the required quantity of IDs into this guest account.
Page 258 2~3 years from present date. Click Save and the new guest account will be added. 4. Provide the following info to your sales representative from Druid via email. Program info including Argos program number, species and repetition rate.

Page 261 v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 262 Druid Technology How does Druid’s Argos-GPS device work? Classic Argos PTTs provide global doppler locations, of which the accuracy varies between several hundred meters to several kilometers. GPS locations enjoy much better accuracy. Different from Doppler method, GPS collects location data independently, meaning that the GPS data schedule is not related to Argos transmission.
Page 263 With appropriate settings and good solar charging conditions, we have seen a lot of our Argos devices uploading over 40 valid GPS points per day at 38° latitude. v1.0.0-https://druid.tech/...
Page 264 GNSS interval. However, the timestamps for data from the Argos website do not show any recognizable pattern. For Druid's GNSS/Argos models, the discrepancies between the 2 platforms arise from the different methods of data collection and transmission: Ecotopia Platform: The data is GNSS-based, collected at regular intervals via GNSS satellites, and then transmitted via Argos satellites.
Page 265 Druid Technology Which time zone is used in data center and App? The time zone displayed on data center and App is set on your own. You can view the current time zone at the top bar of data center.
