Scanning devices temporarily store all collected temperature data automatically and can be stored permanently. The GPS location, paver speed, and any stops are also recorded. After data collection, the project can be transferred through USB and analyzed using the Pave Project ManagerTM software. This allows the contractor or inspector to view the project in more detail reducing the need to be inside the work zone. Some diagrams included in this software include time diagram for paver stops, quality factor, speed, and weather. The software also provides a quality control and quality assurance report specific to various DOT specifications. Figure 23 shows an example of two detailed diagrams automatically generated by the software.
