receiver memory and directory via an IP connection, using the
FTP communication protocol.
In this case, end users should be given read access (through
a user profile) to the directory containing the raw data files
collected by the receiver.
Alternatively, as the owner of the station, you may have to
perform remote maintenance operations in the receiver
memory. This connection gives you full read/write control on
the specified directory and child directories.
Note that the embedded FTP server gives access only to the
specified directory (and its child directories), whether you log
in as the administrator or as a user.
External Sensors
The CORS reference station can also be interfaced with
external sensors via its serial ports. Typically, this
functionality is used to interface the receiver with a tiltmeter
or a meteorological station.
As the administrator, you can ask the receiver to initiate the
communication with the external sensors in order to acquire
data from these sensors. Initialization and trigger strings may
in advance be assigned to the concerned serial ports for this
purpose.
The acquired sensor data are inserted into the raw data file
(G-file) currently recorded. Optionally the sensor data can
