SNIP<\/strong> <\/span>allows you to save any mountPt stream as a raw log file on any input it gathers.\u00a0 These files are useful for latter post processing in a variety of ways.\u00a0 RINEX files are created in this way.<\/p>\n

For more details on automating the creation of RINEX files,
\nPlease see this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When using SNIP<\/strong><\/span> as a data logger use the “Data File Setting<\/strong><\/em>s” menu and dialog and is covered in detail in this article<\/a>.\u00a0 The default setting is to create a new file every 24 hours.<\/p>\n

You can enable\/disable logging for any Base Station with the “Log raw data<\/strong><\/em>” right-click menu item which is found in any stream types shown in any tab.\u00a0 Once setup, every stream with logging enabled will automatically be named, saved, and FTP processed automatically.<\/p>\n

Hint<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0 Daily log files in raw RTCM can be fairly big (20~25 meg\/days for a legacy L1\/L2 file) and will require significant disk space over time.\u00a0 This is why all models of SNIP<\/strong><\/span> provide both a ZIP file compression function and a remote FTP transfer function.\u00a0 You may also select where these files are kept, a large secondary hard disk is a commonly used.<\/p>\n

A common practice is to accumulate 24 hour files (completing at the end of each day at UTC midnight). Then to compress these files into a ZIP, deleting the original file. And then to copy the file by FTP to a remote site.\u00a0 The SNIP<\/strong><\/span> features and settings discussed in the above article provide for doing this.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0 SNIP<\/strong><\/span> saves all log files in as type *.dat which may not make sense if you are running a network with CMR data streams.\u00a0 As all of this data is of a binary in nature, and unreadable by end users, the default file type should be changed from *dat to reflect the raw data nature when known.<\/p>\n

When a Base Station is being logged, you will see a cross hatch pattern displayed in input columns for that station as a visual indication.<\/p>\n
