Download and Import Data Automatically

After you have created or opened a project and processed baselines using only your raw data, there are two ways in which you can download data from Internet providers: Automatic and Manual. In most cases, you will be able to use the automatic method.

Note: Internet download converts local time to GPS time.

To download and import data from the Internet

Select Internet Download in Survey > GNSS.
The Internet Downloadcommand pane displays, listing the default data providers.
Note: You can expand or collapse the groups in the list by right-clicking and selecting Expand All or Collapse All from the context menu.
Double-click a web site in the list to start an automatic download. Alternately, you can select a site and click Automatic, or right-click and select Automatic Download from the context menu. The Download Parameters dialog displays.
Note: Reference stations use Manual download only.
Set download parameters as needed.
Click OK to start the download process. A new tab appears, showing the download sequence and status. At the bottom of the command pane, a message and progress bar show the download status. As files finish downloading, their names appear in the File Name list.
Tip: You can download from multiple sites concurrently. Once you begin a download, click the Start tab, select another provider web site, and begin another download.
After downloading, click each cell in the Action list, and select a way to handle the downloaded file.
Click Import to start the import process. The tabbed page closes. Files that you set to Import will import into the current project, display in the plan view, and appear in the Project Explorer.
Note: If none of the files are importable, the button will read OK, instead of Import.
If you have downloaded from multiple sites, click each tab and repeat steps 5 and 6 for each tabbed page.
Note: Continuous files from CORS stations are often logged, and import, in one-hour increments. Once they have been imported, however, they are concatenated (joined sequentially) into a single file.
