5.9.2 File-to-File Diurnal Correction (GEMLinkW Utility) 

If you have GEMLinkW installed in your computer, you may use its Diurnal Correction Utility to 
combine the Base and Mobile files after you saved them on a disk. Please refer to the help files 
provided with GEMLinkW for more information. 

NOTE: 

GEMLinkW is normally shipped with the new units in a CD-ROM. It is also 
available from GEM Systems Web Site at www.gemsys.on.ca from the support 
pages.  

The latest version of GEMLinkW is 3.0. It includes more and better tools than the 
previous versions. A summary of the latest upgrades can be found at:
