Shows the receiver’s and the application’s recording options

 

 

Positions to save: This option specifies when the points observed when surveying are considered valid. For instance, if only the RTK Fixed option is checked, only the points surveyed with this type of position will be saved. A warning will be displayed for other kinds of positions and confirmation will be requested to store the point observed.

 

If the Save for post-processing option is checked, the Recording interval(s) check box is activated which states every how many seconds observations will be recorded in the GPS receiver. If the static style is set, the options appearing in the Recording Time option will also be activated. These determine the length of time each point is recorded. Three options are available:

 

·         User defined: Allows one to specify the recording time in seconds.

·         Manual: The recording of the point ends when the users so desires.

·         Automatic: The time is set on the basis of the number of satellites used at the moment the recording process is initiated according to the following table:

 

No. of satellites	Time in seconds
Less than or equivalent to 4	1200
5	900
Greater than 5	600

 

 

The different options will request the file name to be created in the receiver.
