By default, new deployments started from a mobile device are set to
Mobile
data storage format, and nothing needs to
be adjusted.
However, when you start a deployment from your laptop or desktop computer, it defaults to
Desktop
format which will
limit your abilities to view the dataset on the mobile device.
On some occasions, you may set up your instrument from the laptop with the intention to view the dataset on your
mobile device afterwards. In this case, go to the
Configuration
tab and open the
Storage
dropdown menu under
Options
. Select
Mobile
.
With
Mobile
data storage format selected, you will be able to track your instrument by adding the GPS location of your
phone or tablet to the dataset. The RSK file will store data already calibrated, facilitating faster downloads over the Wi-
Fi.
Ruskin Mobile can download datasets created in
Desktop
format. However, features such as charting will not be
available.
The raw data are not stored when operating an instrument with the storage format set to
Mobile
. The
will only contain the calibrated data, which prevents re-processing the dataset with new calibration
coefficients.

You cannot change between
Desktop
and
Mobile
storage formats for the same deployment.
If started in
Desktop
mode, there are two options:
Stop the current deployment, change the setting, then start a new deployment.
Continue the same deployment in
Desktop
mode, without the ability to view charts.
You can still download your dataset,
or another sharing destination, and then use
Ruskin Desktop to display it on your computer.
