'Download from iGx, X9x, i80' button:
The program will automatically switch to the '_New' project and download every new (not
previously downloaded) file from your receiver.
As the .HCN binary files are downloaded from the receiver they are automatically converted to
RINEX and added to the '_New' project and finally displayed in the occupation grid.
You can sort the grid by Filename, PID, Description, Operation, Agency, Start Date/Time, End
Date/Time and Length by clicking on the column headers. Clicking twice on the header will reverse
order the grid.
If you have any short or unneeded occupations, you can select and delete them:
