Raw Data Check-In Options

Use these options to verify, correct and select raw GNSS data before importing it into your project. They can be found on the three tabs of the Receiver Raw Data Check In dialog, which displays when you import GNSS data.


Options
Point tab options
Import	Uncheck this to prevent the point from importing.
Point ID	If the data is static, this displays the name of the point. Edit the name, if needed. If the data is kinematic, this indicates the type data imported. Roving Segment - Indicates a segment in which the receiver was in roving mode. The check box in the Import column remains unchecked by default. If this segment contains continuous data and needs to be imported, check the Import checkbox. The description changes to Continuous. Continuous Segment - Indicates a roving segment selected for processing. Note: If you need to change a roving segment to continuous after import, use the Force Continuous command. Note: Point IDs are not case sensitive.
Filename	Identifies the imported file.
Start time End time Duration	Displays the time of the occupation.
Feature code	Displays the code applied to the point feature. Edit or add a new feature code, if needed.
Send to RTX-PP	If you are importing long static files (1 hour or more) that were recorded using RTX-PP supported antennas and receivers after 14 May 2011 and the files are in a Trimble or Spectra Geospatial proprietary format (T01, T02, DAT, ATOM, or Quark) or a standard RINEX 2, RINEX 3, or RINEX 4 format, check this check box to specify that the absolute position of the point be computed using RTX-PP, an Internet service provided by Trimble Positioning Services. For more information, see Compute Positions with Trimble RTX Post-Processing Service. (An Internet connection is required to use RTX-PP. In addition, you must have an appropriate license and active warranty.)
Antenna tab options
Import	Uncheck this to prevent the point from importing.
Point ID	Displays the name of the point. Edit the name, if needed.
Manufacturer	Displays the name of the company that made the antenna. Select a different manufacturer from the list, if the entry is incorrect. Note: If you select Unknown for the manufacturer, be sure to select the antenna phase center method for the antenna height.
Type of antenna	Displays the antenna brand, based on the manufacturer selected. Select a different type from the list, if the entry is incorrect.
Method of measuring antenna height	Antenna Phase Center - Select this if you used different antenna models on the base and rover receivers. Bottom of Antenna Mount - Select this if the antenna height was measured to the bottom of the mount. Note: Generally, you will set this based on what is noted in the field log.
Height of antenna	Displays the distance from the point to the bottom of the antenna mount or the antenna phase center. To edit the antenna height for multiple segments, see Editing multiple antenna heights.
Serial Number	Displays the serial number of the antenna. Edit the number if necessary.
Antenna model	Select an antenna phase center model.
Receiver tab options
Import	Uncheck this to prevent the point from importing.
Filename	Displays the name of the imported file.
Survey mode	Displays the static or kinematic collection type.
Reference Station Type	If the survey mode is static, select VRS if you want to specify that the file be processed as a Virtual Reference Station (VRS). Otherwise, select Single Base Station. For additional information about using VRS data, click here. The use of Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) enables RTK corrections over a large geographic area where robust cellular data coverage is available. When specifying that a base station static file be processed as a VRS, note the following: You can specify that a static file be processed as a VRS file in the Receiver Raw Data Check In dialog and in the file's Properties pane. You can specify the length of a VRS baseline that, when exceeded, causes a warning flag to be displayed after baseline processing by selecting Baseline Processing > Processing in the Project Settings dialog. The Baseline Processor uses VRS-mode processing for any baseline that has one file tagged as VRS. The VRS tagged file is processed as a reference station; the other file is processed as a rover. VRS-mode base processing is not supported for any baseline that is from a VRS and to a VRS. In this case the baseline is not created. VRS-mode base processing applies to T02, RINEX, and Trimble.dat data only. If your import data is in a different format, the VRS option is not selectable. When processing a baseline in VRS mode, the baseline orientation may be inverted compared to what TBC would have selected by default. For example: File1 is 8 hours static data, File2 is 2 hours static data, and File2 is VRS. Otherwise, select Single Base Station. Note: You can also select the reference station type in the Properties pane for the VRS data file.
Start time End time	Displays the time of the occupation.
Manufacturer	Displays the name of the company that made the receiver. Select a different manufacturer from the list, if the entry is incorrect.
Type	Displays the receiver brand, based on the manufacturer selected. Select a different type from the list, if the entry is incorrect.
Serial #	Displays the serial number of the antenna. Edit the number if necessary.
