Chapter 6: Collecting Data
The receiver will typically begin tracking satellites as soon as it is
turned on and successfully completes its initialization.
You can either allow it to collect data based on its own
parameters (the
POWERUP configuration ), or you can configure
data collection differently by using a data collector. In both cases,
the data is stored on the receiver’s memory card.
6.1 Data Files
Raw data is recorded as time-tagged measurements in a raw data
file. Each collection session (one uninterrupted period of time) is
stored in a single, unique data file in memory. Only one file is
open and recorded to at a time.
You can transfer a file of collected data to a PC for post-
processing and adjustment using Spectrum Survey Suite
software (see Section 4.2,
Set Up at the Office , page 35).
6.1.1 File names
Auto-generated file names consist of an eight-character base
followed by a .pdc extension, as follows:
####$$$%.pdc
The eight characters are derived as shown in Table 24.
