4.3.3 Toolbar
The RTK-Pro locator can be configured so that features can be switched on or off. Having this option enables the user to tailor
the instrument to meet their needs and keep the user interface uncluttered. The toolbar at the top of the screen enables the user
to create configurations.

4.3.5 Data Logging
Clicking on the Data Logging tab will display information about the state of the attached locator’s data log contents. The data log
contents can be stepped-though by using the controls on the right-hand side. The user can upload a selection of logs from the
locator to the PC using the upper right-hand side controls. The data in the data log can be configured before exporting.
The parameters that can be set are:
• Distance units
• Date format
• Time format, i.e., UTC or local time
Files may be exported/saved locally as .csv/.bin/.kml/.shp files and examined later. The default filename is based on the serial
number of the connected locator but can be changed during the saving process.
Tip
If it is only required to export a portion of the log (for instance, a survey on a particular day), use the
data log scroll facility at the bottom left of the display to scroll through to the start date/time. Note the
log number and then scroll to the end date/time and note this log number. Use these numbers to enter
the “From” “To” numbers in the display's top right when exporting. Doing so will help to keep the
exported data to a manageable size.
