PDA Field of View Software

Recommended Posts

I haven't noticed this mentioned anywhere else on the forum; there is a great piece of shareware out there for the Palm OS family of PDAs.

 

PCAM is available at http://www.davideubank.com/.

 

Not only will it do all the standard FOV calculations a wheel will do for you but (and I love this part) it will give you a sample scene (just a couple of stick figures) to show you how big a view you will have with a certain lens at a certain distance.

 

This is perfect for demonstrating to a customer that if they want to be able to count the hairs in a guys mustache they will end up not seeing what's in his hands or the opposite; they want to take in the entire parking lot people will just be little specs.

 

Now all I'm looking for in a Palm program is something that will calculate voltage drop and wire guage (just like the Vdrop calculator on the Altronix website will)

 

And if you don't have a PDA yet - get one. It changed my life.
