Logging data

Data logging involves the collection of GNSS measurement data over a period of time at a static point or points, and subsequent postprocessing of the information to accurately compute baseline information. Data logging using receivers requires access to suitable GNSS postprocessing software such as the Trimble Business Center software.

Postprocessed GNSS data is typically used for control network measurement applications and precise monitoring. GNSS measurement data is collected over a period of time at a static point or points and then postprocessed to accurately compute baseline information.

You can log data onto the R10 GNSS receiver itself, or onto a handheld device, smartphone, or tablet.

To log GNSS data using the R10 GNSS receiver:

  • Connect the receiver to a Trimble handheld / controller using Bluetooth wireless technology. See Configuring the receiver using Trimble software and Bluetooth wireless technology for details on connecting the receiver. Use Trimble field software (for example, Trimble Access software, Trimble TerraFlex software) to log GNSS data from the receiver to the handheld / controller, or to a data card in the controller. For more information, refer to the user guide for your particular handheld / controller, and the Trimble field software that you are using.

  • Use the R10 GNSS receiver with the Trimble DL app on Android™ smartphones and tablets. The Trimble DL app is available to download from the Google Play store. Contact your local Trimble dealer for more information on the Trimble DL app for Android devices.

  • To log received corrections onto the internal memory, connect to the Web Interface and go to Data Logging / Summary / Configure and select Log Received Corrections.

Logging data after a power loss

If power is unexpectedly lost while the receiver is logging data, the receiver tries to return to the state it was in immediately before the power loss. The receiver does not reset itself to default settings.

If the receiver was logging data when power was lost, it resumes logging data when power is restored.
