Data Collection for Post-Processing
One independent measurement is collected per 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 second, or slower,
depending upon whether the Q (Quick Position) option is installed in the sensor, with
no interpolation or extrapolation from previous measurements. The measurements
can be stored in internal battery-backed RAM, from which the data can be transferred
later to a personal computer or output in real time via RS-232 serial ports. The data
can then be post-processed to determine time, position, and velocity.
Data collected at a rate faster than 1 Hz (i.e. 2 Hz and 5 Hz) can not be post-processed; if the data is
to be post-processed, use 1 Hz or slower. Determine the data collection rate by using the RCI
command (refer to “$PASHS,RCI” on page 70)
