    3.2 General Notes The PiCUS TMS 3 are controlled exclusively via an application for mobile devices running Android operating system from version 7 or iOS operating system from version 11. This application is referred to as app below. IML Tree Motion The mobile device must have Bluetooth version 4.0 (BLE) or Bluetooth 5 for communication...

  • Page 10: Commissioning Of The Iml Tree Motion App

    App is to configure the PiCUS TMS 3 and to start and stop measurements. To connect the PiCUS TMS 3 with the mobile phone, an authentication code is required. The authentication code must be set before the first connection of the IML Tree Motion App with the PiCUS TMS 3.

  • Page 11: Synchronization Of Tms 3 And Location Function

    3.6 Synchronization of TMS 3 and Location Function The internal clock of the PiCUS TMS 3 is automatically set using the mobile phone. It is based on the system time in conjunction with the time zone of the mobile phone. The determined start and stop times are stored internally in the TMS 3 as UTC timestamps.
  • Page 12 : indicates the quality of the Bluetooth connection. For optimal connection, a short distance (< 5 m) between the PiCUS TMS 3 and the mobile device, as well as an unobstructed line of sight (no obstruction by vehicles/trees/buildings), is required:...

  • Page 13: Battery Charge Level

    : The icon and the indicated remaining runtime provide information about the remaining battery life of the PiCUS TMS 3. The remaining runtime is only a rough estimate. Aging and ambient temperature can have a significant impact on the remaining battery life.

  • Page 14: Starting A Measurement

    - Attach the PiCUS TMS 3 to the tree. See also 5 PiCUS TMS 3 Installation. - Start the PiCUS TMS 3 using the magnetic pen (see also 4.1 Activating the PiCUS TMS 3). Attention! Wait for an initialization time of approximately 5 seconds.

  • Page 15: Configuring The Measurement

    In the menu, all inputs related to the tree and the measurement are made, which are then sent to the PiCUS TMS 3 and stored there along with the actual measurement data. Empty mandatory fields and invalid values are highlighted in red. Additionally, the valid value range is displayed below each input field.
  • Page 16 Tree ID : A numerical identifier to uniquely identify the tree. ID of Tree Group : If the tree is part of a group, a unique numerical identifier for the group can also be specified here. Position : The tree coordinates (longitude and latitude) can be entered directly (e.g., if the coordinates are already known or if a high-precision external GPS system is used).

  • Page 17: Sensor Orientation

    If required entries are missing, the button will be greyed out. When starting the measurement, the timestamp for later synchronization of the PiCUS TMS 3 is automatically derived from the system time of the mobile device and sent as a UTC timestamp along with other values to the device.
  • Page 18 The camera image is displayed with 3 lines. The middle line is parallel to the Earth's surface, and the two outer guide lines are used to align the camera as straight as possible. Hold the camera during all height measurements so that the 3 lines are aligned as straight as possible. Aim at the upper edge of the calibration object and take an angle measurement with the upper tool button.

  • Page 26: Picus Tms 3 Installation Instructions

    The base sensor should ideally be installed as close to the ground as possible, with the centre of the sensor approximately 5 - 10 cm above ground level. This ensures that only the inclination of the root plate is measured. If the PiCUS TMS 3 is installed higher, the curvature of the trunk becomes more significant.

  • Page 27: Transferring Measurement Data From Picus Tms 3 To The Pc

    PiCUS TMS 3 is not being charged. This is usually because the PiCUS TMS 3 is too warm or too cold to be charged. In this error state, the PiCUS TMS 3 can remain in the cradle. Charging will start automatically once the temperature has adjusted.
