One of RoboDot's main features is its capability to record GNSS observation data, which can serve as both a backup and a primary source for post-processing workflows. This is especially useful for ensuring data integrity and accuracy during field operations. The recording activity is confirmed via a green indicator light, and users can also verify the status through the Web UI or the touch screen display. This dual confirmation method enhances the reliability of data recording, making it an essential tool for GNSS data collection and management.
Filename format: dot###m#d#y#h#m#s#gpst (in GPS time indicating the start date of the record)
The observation file extension is .rub. It should be converted to RINEX using the RoboDot Utility Software or via Wingman Tools online portal.
The RoboDot device offers flexible recording trigger options to accommodate various user needs. First, the Auto-start feature with "Record on Boot" enabled allows recording to commence automatically once a GNSS lock is acquired, ensuring seamless data capture without manual intervention. This is particularly advantageous in scenarios where immediate data recording is crucial.
Alternatively, users can exercise manual control over the recording process through the Rec/Stop button available on the Status and Rover web pages, providing more granularity and control to the operator. These options make the device versatile and adaptable to different operational demands.
Rover Mode creates an additional .sht file which is a csv file with details on each point recorded. Learn more in the section.
To download project files, access the Web UI and navigate to the Files page. There, you can download files such as .rub and .sht for further processing or analysis. These files can also be shared with Wingman to facilitate company-wide use, streamlining collaboration and ensuring all team members have access to the necessary data.
