1.20 Log NMEA Files
Enabling NMEA logging on one of the log sessions involves the following steps:
1. Define the NMEA naming convention and file duration in the log session of interest.
By default, the receiver logs NMEA into a file named "
log.nma
". You can specify any
other file name, or you can select the IGS/RINEX naming convention, where the file
name automatically changes every fifteen minutes, hour, six hours or day. File naming
conventions can be selected independently for each log session. For instance, to let
the receiver create daily files in the second log session (
LOG2
), use:
setNMEALogging,LOG1,IGS24H <CR>
If the file name you selected already exists, the receiver will append new data at the
end of the existing file.
2. Use the command
setNMEAOutput
to define which NMEA sentences need to be
logged and at which interval. For instance, to log the GGA sentences at an interval of
10 seconds in the
LOG2
session, use:
setNMEAOutput,Stream1,LOG1,GGA,sec10 <CR>
3. Make sure that the log session is defined and enabled:
setLogSession,LOG1,enabled <CR>
4. To stop NMEA logging, disable the NMEA stream as follows:
setNMEAOutput,Stream1,none <CR>
or temporarily disable the log session:
setLogSession,LOG1,disabled <CR>
Note that the maximum file size supported by the receiver is 4GBytes.
Section 1.15 explains how to set up log sessions, section 1.25 shows how to automatically
FTP push NMEA files to a remote server and section 1.23 shows how to download log files.
