XTools Pro is one of the most popular extensions for ArcGIS Desktop end users

In this video, we will demonstrate a practical example of using the XTools Pro "Scale Manager" tool

Setting visibility scale ranges for map layers is an essential part of the map design

At that, for the huge maps with lots of layers, group layers, and labels this can be a real challenge in ArcMap with its dockable Layer Properties dialog

The task can be facilitated partly with the XTools Pro Layer Properties dockable window, not a huge help anyways if you work with such map as the USA StreetMap

And it does not show the whole picture of all scale ranges in the map

In order to address this, there is a Scale Manager tool provided with XTools Pro

Let's see how it can help

With Scale Manager you can see all the map layers and their scale ranges in one window so you have the whole picture of all scales used in the map

At that, there are many features and options provided for more effective work with map scale ranges

All scale ranges may be fitted into the visible area of the tool dialog window

For more representative view you can change the scale type selecting between linear and logarithmic scales

Same way in the tool settings you can change the direction from maximum to minimum and vice versa

If there are any group layers or layers with label classes, then their influence area is highlighted when you hover the mouse cursor over such layers

Besides, each group is marked with lines on the left and right

Scale ranges can be moved as a whole, for this you can drag and drop the range line

At that, range values are shown for your convenience

When you move ranges, they are snapped to the already existing bounds and to the other ranges

Bound scale values can be entered manually, for that double-click on the required bound

Snapping properties can be specified in the settings – scale range bounds can be snapped to the other bounds, to the grid lines and to the scale indicator

Scale indicator shown with a vertical green line can be used to visualize layers visibility on the map

There are two ways available to remove scale ranges:

First. Enter zero or no value for the range bounds

Second. Drag and drop the range bound beyond the working area

In order to create a new scale range, you can either move one of its bounds or define its value

There are three states supported for bounds:

open, closed and nominal

Bound type can be specified in the bound context menu

Open bounds are used to exclude scale value from the visible range

Open bound values are corrected when saved (one is added for maximum range bounds and subtracted for minimum ranged bounds)

Closed bound is the default type, its value is never corrected automatically

It is recommended to use closed bounds if you wish to control scale ranges by yourself without automatic corrections

Nominal bounds are bounds inherited by the nested element from the group root element

These can be bounds taken from the group layer or from the feature layer (for nested label classes)

Undefined bounds are shown with light color

All undefined bounds are nominal

There are three types of bounds that can be applied to scale ranges:

First. Both bounds closed

Second. Maximum bound closed or minimum bound open

Third. Maximum bound open or minimum bound closed

Default type can be specified in the Settings

Open bounds are corrected (plus one or minus one) when saved and only for the particular modified bounds

Bound values entered manually (that is, explicitly specified) are not corrected

Groups are not only group layers but also layers with label classes

Groups are moved same way as ranges

However, if the option "Move groups as a whole" is enabled in the Settings, all elements nested in this group will be moved

If a nested element is beyond its group bounds, then it's marked with special bright color

This means this element won't be visible at the marked scales

There are several ancillary service elements available in Scale Manager

First, the Map scale grid

This grid corresponds to the scales of the current ArcMap document

Standard ArcMap means can be used to modify these scales

Another service element in the workspace is the Scale indicator

When you move Scale indicator the ranges view changes accordingly

Those ranges that will be visible on the map at the Scale indicator value are highlighted with brighter color

Invisible ranges are lightened

That is, moving the Scale indicator you can see what layers and labels will be visible on the map at different scales

Scale indicator value can be specified manually

Other useful settings include:

Show or hide map scale grid and its labels

Show or hide scale indicator

Show or hide group borders

Highlight groups on hover

Press the Save button in the lower left corner to save specified scale ranges or agree to save results when closing the tool dialog window

We won't save changes for the demonstrated map

Now let's see how we can specify scale ranges for the new map and what we can get as a result

We use the Scale indicator for snapping

Scale ranges can be specified in either of supported ways

When the required scale ranges are added we can see the result

We close Scale Manager pressing the OK button, this will automatically save new scale ranges

As we can see, all new ranges are applied to the map layers and labels so the map is displayed accordingly

Therefore, the Scale Manager tool in XTools Pro provides following advantages for work with scale ranges in ArcMap:

Handy management of all map scale ranges in one window

You can see the whole picture of all scales used in the map and control visibility of all map layers and labels at all map scales

Range bound values are automatically corrected

missile system in a bid to boost its defenses in the face of increasing

Russian aggression the nation started to revamp its Armed Forces when Moscow

annexed the Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine in 2014 given that the majority of

Poland's weaponry dates back to the Cold War the deal which is worth four point

other NATO countries the deal is unlikely to be welcomed by Russia

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir teed off told state-run Sputnik news

website in November that Patriot deployments were part of a u.s. plot to

surround Russia with missile defense systems under the pretext of mythical

threats to security Poland was one of the 20 countries which expressed

solidarity with the UK and expelled Russian diplomats following the

poisoning of X spy Sergei scribal and his daughter Yulia the deal also signals

a distension of the relations between Warsaw and Washington which have been

tensed since the introduction in January of a law that imposes jail terms to

whoever accuses Poland of Nazi war crimes the US argued that this move

would subvert freedom of speech and warned of the repercussions this

legislation if enacted could have on Poland's strategic interests and

relationships including with the US and Israel

I'm just dying to see exactly what set I bought.

I think there's only one set in this box.

Not quite sure.

And it figures,

I see receipts.

So we'll slowly mine those our of there

with all the air bags that are in the way.

Well I thought I saw a receipt.

Let me cut this other tape off.

Well the question is:

Did this survive the journey?

Wow!

Anymore of those in there?

I'm going to be spending the whole time just unboxing air bags.

Yeah! That's exactly what I'll be doing here.

So this whole portion will be just removing air bags.

Alright. Let's see here.

Oh another one of these stickers.

I think I already have the green one.

Some people get two of those.

My luck, I just get one.

Okay.

Let's see here.

Oh wow this is huge!

Okay I do see the receipt.

LEGO you didn't tape that at the bottom like you normally do?

This thing's heavy.

Let me just get this box off of here.

So the thing I got right here is a freebee

which is a bunny rabbit figure.

That's not what I was excited to get.

[Laughs]

Oh yeah! This is what I wanted to get.

This is the Minecraft: The Mountain Cave.

Set number 21137.

Contains 2863 pieces.

This is something that I've been eyeballing for quite some time

because this has a lot of bricks.

It has plenty of figures

and lots of play value.

So I really wanted to get this.

Lots of cool stuff,

and of course this

which I don't care about.

[Laughs]

So that's it for the haul.

Let's give a few shout outs real quick.

🔴 DIY UROFLOWMETRY MACHINE for 10€ (Free plans & Arduino firmware) 👨‍⚕️💊 PART 1 - Duration: 7:05.

Hi! Have you ever wondered how does a uroflow machine work? Do you want to

make your own? In this video I will show you how to make one for around 10 euros.

This is video 1 of 2 part series. Coming up!

Welcome to my youtube channel GreenEyedExplorer

where I explore further and beyond about tweaks, hacks, electronics and house repairs.

Hi! In this video we will see what uroflow machine is, how to make the machine and also see how to use it.

In the second video we will see how to calibrate the machine

and what does my firmware offer.

Definition and why.

First I will explain what your flow machine is.

It is an appliance which measures how good your urinary flow is when emptying

your bladder. It objectively shows patient status to the urologist.

It can show many things.

The most known is an obstruction due to benign prostatic

enlargement or other reasons. It is one step of diagnostics called urodynamic

studies. It basically is a simple weight scale which shows volume of voided urine,

increase of weight of urine in time in a format: flow per time and some other parameters.

As I'm a urologist by profession and electronics geek and handyman by heart, I was very keen on

making one. My purpose here is to populate this device among men as it can

objectively reveal many problems.

Parts.

I decided to show you how to make a wireless uroflow. As an added value! It is

even cheaper. Most commercial products are either wired or use bluetooth. I will

use esp8266 Wi-Fi module, a one kilogram digital load cell weight sensor and a HX711

converter. Hardware is really simple and cheap! The biggest challenge about

making one was to write the program for it.

It contains 3100 lines of code or 100,000 characters. It took me about 20

hours of programming and thinking. All the processing and calculations are done

on the microcontroller itself. User just has to visit the web page and see the

report and print it. No additional dedicated PC for the uroflow machine,

which means even lower cost. I offer my schematics and firmware for

free for personal use! Commercial usage is negotiable. Data can be found on my

home page and my github page. I also provide the version with nomograms for

better interpretation and even a dedicated Windows program with data base for storage.

Schematics.

The schematic is very simple! The weighing element has four wires:

red, black, white and green. They come from strain gauges on the load cell. Strain

gauges are organized in a wheatstone bridge. That's why there are 4 wires.

They are connected to a HX711 chip. Red goes to E+ and the black one to E-.

"E"s represent excitation. Meanwhile white goes to A- and green wire to A+.

They are inputs. "A" input can be programmatically defined as gain of 128

or 64, while input "B" has a fixed gain of 32. We will use input "A" with gain 128.

Other selectable thing is sample rate. We can choose 10 or 80 Hertz.

I selected 10 Hertz as it has lower noise and gives enough precision.

Connection to microcontroller has two communication lines: clock and data line.

The only other thing used in this version of the machine is a red LED

which lights when there is an ongoing measurement or calibration procedure.

Calibration procedure is also initiated via Wi-Fi.

Hardware design!

Here you can see how weighing element is mounted. Tray is on the upper side of the weighing element. The

other side is mounted to the bottom plate. You will need 2x M3 + 2x M4 screws

and some nuts for spacers. You can see the prototype uses breadboard for

connections. If you want to buy parts the links are in the description below.

How to use?

First you will have to put the appliance on a leveled ground, put a collecting mug on the tray.

If it is heavy, leave it there for few minutes for the load cell to stretch.

If you use the machine for the first time or want to

recalibrate it after a certain period of time you initiate the calibration

procedure with a known weight via Wi-Fi.

The calibration parameters are stored in the machine itself. When measuring the

urinary flow you have to use a wide funnel which does not contact the mug

or the device. Funnel collects split or sprayed stream and makes just a slight

impact on the measurement. The other important thing is not to touch the

device in any way while voiding. Touching makes artifacts!

Demonstration.

Now I will demonstrate the usage. If the LED is OFF one can start. While voiding

the LED is ON. The machine even waits for eventual post-void dribbing

and stops after certain time. The ON time will be presented on the report

Start and stop are calculated on the fly.
