6.1 Introduction
This chapter covers what to do with your data once you have collected
it in the field. The topics include:
Transferring data to the PC
Transferring data from the PC
Postprocessing data to differentially correct it
Displaying data
Exporting data to a GIS
Batch processing data
6.2 Transferring Data to the PC
Instructions for transferring rover data from the datalogger are given
below. If you have used Asset Surveyor as a temporary base station
then follow the same instructions as for the rover files. If you have an
alternative source of base station data, you must transfer those files to
the PC on which the GPS Pathfinder Office software is installed.
6.2.1 Transferring Data from the Datalogger
After data has been collected, it must be transferred (using the GPS
Pathfinder Office software’s Data Transfer utility) from the TSC1
datalogger to the PC. The procedure for transferring the data from the
datalogger is straightforward. Connect your TSC1 datalogger to the
PC, as shown in Figure 6.1, then transfer the data.
Data stored on a PC card can be transferred through the TSC1
datalogger, as described below. Alternatively, if you have a PC card
slot on your office computer, you can transfer your data files directly
into the GPS Pathfinder Office software from this slot.
