摘要：	The Geotechnical Business-Focused Team of the Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) required a process for collecting data during geotechnical subsurface explorations that was easier and faster than the handwritten borehole logging (recording) system currently being used. During 1995 and 1996, WFHLD began evaluating a handheld personal digital assistant (PDA). This PDA allowed the user to enter information using a hard-tipped, plastic pen capable of writing directly on the screen. This unit transferred written letters to type and automatically saved the information. Data could also be entered by typing on a built-in, pop-up, soft keyboard that placed typed text on the screen. Field testing was done with standard and ruggedized PDA units at Prince of Wales Island, Alaska; Glacier National Park, Montana; and Spokane Indian Reservation, Washington. The automated system is more efficient and eliminates the classification inconsistencies encountered with manual logging, while allowing the storage of large quantities of borehole data. The user can transfer information to back-up storage cards. In addition, the electronic boring logs can be transferred to the WFLHD office via Internet e-mail.
