WIRELESS GRABBER
The Wireless Grabber program is used to manage and monitor the processes involved in
transfering GPS data from the Premier Base Radio to the computer for final processing. See
Data Flow.
The Wireless Grabber can be used to download the Premier Base Radio manually on an as needed
basis, or it can be scheduled to download automatically. In either case, the Wireless Grabber
is used to initiate and manage the download. To schedule Wireless Grabber to download the
Premier Base Radio automatically, see File Viewer / Scheduler.
By default the Wireless Grabber program is enabled to run in the background whenever your
computer is started. Whenever the program is running, the Wireless Grabber icon will be visible
in the bottom right portion the Windows Desktop taskbar.
As well as managing the download process Wireless Grabber performs several validation checks
on the downloaded GPS data files to ensure data integrity. If the GPS file passes the validation
checks, it is replicated and placed into the Processing folder. If the GPS file does not pass the
validation check, it is placed into the Unprocessed folder. See
Unprocessed Downloads.
