File Management
Raw data is recorded as time-tagged measurements in a single raw data file. Each file is recorded to the
receiver’s internal memory, and automatically given a name and a
*.tps
file extension. You can then transfer a
file of collected data to a computer with file managing software, such as the Sokkia Receiver Utility (SRU). This
program enables you to use an automatic naming feature, enter file names, and delete files as necessary.
See the
SRU Reference Manual
or SRU Help.
Download and Delete Files
After completing a survey, download data files to a computer or a controller for storage, post-processing, or
backup. The receiver’s internal memory holds a finite amount of files, so you will want to delete files to restore
memory capacity.
When the internal memory is full, the receiver stops logging data, and the REC LED turns dark/off, indicating
an error condition. Existing data is not overwritten, unless
AFRM
mode is enabled.
There are two options for deleting raw data files from the receiver:
•
Delete all of the files using the LED display panel (i.e. hold the power button for 15 to 20 seconds).
This erases all of the files in the receivers internal memory.
•
Use a USB or Bluetooth connection to download the files to a computer. In SRU, you can select the files you
want to delete from the receiver. See the
SRU Reference Manual
or SRU Help.
Once a connection is established, you can download all or some files to a computer or controller and then use
the File Explorer feature in Sokkia Receiver Utility (SRU) to manage the raw data files.
For more information about using SRU to download or delete files, see the
Sokkia Receiver Utility (SRU)
Reference Manual
or SRU Help.
