Import GNSS Data

If you import data from third-party receivers (e.g. RINEX), the files are automatically converted to .dat format during download.

To import GNSS data:

  1. Select Import in Home > Data Exchange.

    The Importcommand pane displays.

  2. Select a folder in the Import Folder list, or click the Browse button to browse for a folder. The default is the folder that you last imported from. The files contained in the selected folder appear in the Select File area. The file names and file types are listed. File type is the name of the importer that is used to read the file.
  3. Select the files to import, and then click OK. The Receiver Raw Data Check-indialog displays.

    Note: To join separate files if they represent a single occupation, make sure to multi-select and import them at the same time. They must have the same point ID and sequential end/start times.

  4. Check and edit the raw data and click OK to check it in. The Projection Definition dialog may display. If needed, enter values in the Northing and Easting boxes to create a false origin for the data.
  5. Click OK.
  6. To view an Import Summary report, select Report Options> Import Summary. If there are errors, a warning flag appears on the status bar.

Notes:
- If you import a controller job file, any associated .dat files are automatically imported as well.
- 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 the single session they represent.
