QuikRuler II for Palm OS® by GTCO
A Powerful Application for Palm OS Handheld Devices that
Supports Digitizing and Measurement for Estimating Takeoffs

At the job site or in the office, accurate takeoffs are now no further away than the palm of your hand.  Using QuikRuler II software with your Palm™ handheld and a Roll-Up II digitizer gives you a precise, lightweight, portable system for measuring plans up to 36" by 48".

QuikRuler II Software (Palm Handheld Not Included) QuikRuler II software lets you measure irregular areas, calculate perimeters, measure length segments and perform counts in both English and Metric scales.

Store the information on your Palm handheld and synchronize it with your desktop PC using Palm Computing's HotSync® technology. 

You can also add QuikRuler II's measurement capabilities to other Palm handheld conveniences such as calendars, phone lists and e-mail.

- Offers maximum portability when used with a Roll-Up II digitizer. Can also be used with the Super L Series of digitizers.
- Measures irregular areas, perimeters and length segments and performs counts in both English and Metric scales.
- Independent X and Y axis scaling.
- AutoScaling for reduced drawings.
- Stores measurements and calculations by category for quick reference.
- Transfer stored information to any construction estimating application using Palm's HotSync technology.
- Uses standard Graffiti® and Palm keyboard for text and numeric input.
- Connect your Palm handheld to the Roll-Up II with an RS232 cable and you're up and running!


The 9 lb. QuikRuler II system, which includes a Roll-Up Digitizer and Palm-compatible software application, is a highly accurate yet simple to use measuring system designed for construction cost estimators.

The QuikRuler II software provides users with the capability of measuring irregular areas, calculating perimeters, measuring length segments and performing counts in both English and Metric scales.  Users can easily and quickly perform takeoffs at the job site or office, store the information on the Palm and synchronize it to their desktop PC using the Palm HotSync feature.

The QuikRuler II supports both English and Metric measurements, performs conversions between these units and provides a scale function to set measurement scales to match the drawing.  Scale options also include unlocking the X,Y axes and AutoScaling which make it easy to measure plans that have been reduced in size or have no scale.

“The QuikRuler II offers a breakthrough for construction estimators,” indicated Eric Timmons, General Manager, GTCO CalComp.  “With the QuikRuler II and Roll-Up digitizer, estimators now have an easy to use blueprint measuring system that is both highly portable and easy to use.  With the Palm’s HotSync capability, users can easily transfer information to their favorite Construction Estimating Software application to perform a complete job bid.”

QuikRuler II runs on any Palm Computing handheld device running Palm OS Version 3.1 or later.  The Palm device connects to the Roll-Up Digitizer using the standard RS-232 HotSync cable, either cradle or portable versions.  The standard graffiti and Palm keyboard are used for text and numeric entry, providing a common look and feel to other Palm applications.

“Users can now add measurement capabilities to other features such as calendars, phone lists and email provided by the Palm.” indicated Jennifer O’Sullivan, Marketing Manager, GTCO CalComp.  “The QuikRuler II is truly unique and provides the latest advancement in measurement technology for the construction estimator.”
