Recording Raw

Data Outside of

Any Sessions

Raw data recording can also take place outside of any
sessions. What’s more, it can take place simultaneously with
data recording performed through the programmed sessions.

This alternate recording capability can be controlled through
the

Configuration - Recording submenu in the ProFlex Web

Server.

Like with sessions, this type of data recording produces a G-
file but the recorded data are those set on the port
corresponding to the storage medium used (and not on port
R). If for example the internal memory is used to save the G-
file, then the recorded data will be those set on port M.

The settings are very similar to, while independent of, those
found for sessions (i.e. sitename, recording elevation mask,
observation mask, recording interval). For example raw data
can be collected at 1 Hz through sessions while those
collected through the Recording function may be at 20 Hz.
Also a different site name may be used so that you can easily
identify those generated through the Recording function from
those generated through sessions.

When logging raw data using the Recording function, the
duration of the raw data files is controlled by the

Split Data into

Preset Duration Files parameter:
• If it’s disabled, a single raw data file will be created with

unlimited duration and size.

• If it’s enabled and a duration is selected, the receiver will

create as many files as necessary, all of them being of the
requested duration.

As with sessions, the

Ring File Memory option may be used in

this case to manage the free memory space. When there’s
only 15 Mbytes left in memory, the older raw data file will be
deleted to keep the level of free memory at around
15 Mbytes. Note that when activated, the

Ring File Memory

option applies to both the Recording and Sessions functions.

NOTE: This function only exists as a $PASHS command
($PASHS,RFB). Activating this function will make
inaccessible the

Split Data into Preset Duration Files parameter

on the Web Server.
