Collecting Data
The GSR2600 receiver is an extremely versatile GPS device
that enables you to collect data several ways and to define
the type of information stored during data collection. The
following sections explain data collection.
7.1
Collecting Data
The most basic activity you will perform using your
GSR2600 is collecting raw data. Each collection session (one
uninterrupted period of time) is stored in a single, unique
file on a data card. This file can subsequently be transferred
to a PC for post-processing and adjustment using Sokkia’s
Spectrum Survey Suite software package.
The GSR2600 records raw data in the form of logs, which
are written to the data file on a periodic basis. Sokkia’s
software interprets these logs and the data that they
contain.
The GSR2600 receiver collects data in three ways:
•
Manual
data collection (Page 80)
•
Scheduled
data collection (Page 81)
•
Handheld
data collection (Page 82)
7.1.1
Manual data collection
To turn on the receiver, press the power button. When the
receiver acquires GPS time, the GSR2600 will automatically
start collecting data based on the POWERUP configuration
(see Section 7.2.2, Using the POWERUP configuration, Page
84).
