Storage Tab

Use the Storage Tab to manage how logged files are stored, moved, copied and downloaded.

View the storage type(s) selected in the Status Window and configure how files are managed in the Configuration Window.

Storage Status Window

The Status Window displays the options selected. A progress bar displays the percentage of memory used for the USB stick memory and the internal memory of the receiver and if the auto-transfer feature is enabled. A progress bar also displays during the File Transfer process.

Storage Configuration Window

Use the top button to select Internal (click left) or USB (click right) and configure how logged files are stored and downloaded:

  • to the receiver's internal memory

  • to a mounted USB memory stick formatted as FAT32

The file destination can also be defined as USB or Internal under the Logging Tab (File Destination).

We have found two problems in the Microsoft® FTP clients contained within the Internet Explorer® and Edge browsers which make them unsuitable for retrieving files from a NovAtel receiver. When using a Windows® computer to transfer files off a NovAtel receiver, we suggest using a 3rd party FTP client.

Auto-Transfer

Click a radio button to define how logged files are automatically managed. Select Disable, Copy or Move files (files are retained in the File List using COPY; removed from list using MOVE). Click Disable to disable auto-transfer.

Transfer Port

The transfer port setting changes when a USB stick ejected. Click the Eject button and remove the stick.

The USB memory stick must be formatted as FAT32. Use the Eject button to unmount a memory stick. Ensure the receiver has stopped logging before removing a memory stick.
