Downloading Data
The WinPRISM software package, offered as an option, includes many functions
necessary to complete a GPS survey including mission planning, data transfer and
processing, vector adjustments, and a mapping module.
WinPRISM includes a module named TRANSFER/DOWNLOAD. This module
transfers data from the receiver to a post-processing computer; this download is
necessary before the data can be processed. To download, perform the following
steps:
1.
Connect a null modem serial cable from the serial interface/power cable to
the COM1 connector on the computer. If COM1 is not available, COM2 may
be used; however, remember to enter COM2 information via the setup
option in the TRANSFER module, as described in the TRANSFER
instructions.
2.
Turn on the receiver and computer.
3.
Select the DOWNLOAD module of the WinPRISM software.
Detailed instructions for installing and operating the software, as well as completing
the survey, can be found in the WINPRISM manual set.
