ports.

• Tracking of the total number and the status of all visible satellites.

• Displaying the receiver’s current position and time in real time.

• Controlling the recording of raw data measurements into the receiver’s internal memory.

• Downloading collected raw data measurements (log files) from the receiver’s internal

memory onto the computer’s disk drives.

• Recording, in real time, the receiver’s raw data measurements on the computer’s disk in

JAVAD GNSS and RINEX formats. To generate RINEX files, the executable file

jps2rin.exe must be installed on your PC.

• Displaying and programming the receiver’s settings (such as Data Recording Interval,

Position Computation Mode, etc.)

• Display of the current receiver options and loading of Option Authorization Files into the

receiver.
