File Types
The receiver is capable of creating a number of different files that cover a wide
variety of information. Primarily, the receiver will generate raw data files, ephemeris,
and site information files, but can also create position only files, event marker files,
and site attribute files. Each file is named for the first letter of the file. For example,
the raw data files begin with the letter “B”, so they are referred to as B-Files. A list of
the files is shown in Table 4.10.
In order to maximize data storage capability, certain files are recorded on the data
card in a compressed format and are decompressed during the download process. So
in the workday directory of the data card, a V-file is a compressed B-file, a Y-file is a
compressed S-file, and a W-file is a compressed C-file.
File Naming Convention
The files are automatically named according to a naming convention that includes the
site name, session, and day of the year. Figure 4.3 outlines the file naming
