Post Processing

Post processing data collection involves two steps. First, you must

open a file and begin logging GPS raw data for post processing.
Second, you must measure the antenna height and enter the antenna

and station ID for each point you occupy.

Survey Post Processing

The Post Processing screen is used to open or close a

post processing data file, and start or stop logging GPS
raw data measurements to the file. When you tap the

Post Processing menu button, you are prompted to

choose a receiver to connect to from the list of post
processing receivers you have created.

Recording Status

: displays the current state of receiver

recording.

Start Recording / Stop Recording : this button will

activate the action which is opposite to the current
Recording Status. Tap Start Recording to open a new log
file, begin logging raw GPS measurements for post

processing to the file, and then open the Receiver
Session screen (Page R-197) where you can input the

station name and description. Tap the Stop Recording button to close
the open log file.

Note: The location of the file is usually on the receiver’s built in

memory. However, some models support collection of post processing
data to a file on the data collector. For those receivers that support it,

the location of the log file is specified on the Receiver Settings |
General screen.

Start Static

: use this setting if you want to start a log file in static

mode, where the receiver will remain over a single point for the
duration of the session.
