Land Surveyor
Hello, I use a promark 500 gnss/gps for alot of my work. And I had to collect some static data with it the other day, so collecting the data was pretty easy.But once I returned to the office and I downloaded the data from the receiver I very quickly figured out that I don't have a program that will read the file format for the receiver. I have been trying to figure out another program for the last couple of days but I cannot find one that works.So can someone please help me find a program that will work? The file from the receiver are a ".293" format.Thanks,

  • If you have a fellow surveyor with a copy of the Ashtekc/Magellan post processing software it is a simple process.

    I use Carlson GNSS Survey and it claims to handle the RAW Ashtec formats...send the data ([email protected]) and I will see if I can help?

      I got a free trial of Carlson gnss but couldn't figure it out. I'll try again.

    Can you show us a snippet of the data? It's likely a binary file. Some files like this have allowed me to manually change the file extension and import it. I use Leica Geo Office and usually can import anything thrown at me.
  • Catlon,

    The ".293" denotes that it was collected on the 293rd day of the year.  GNSS Solutions software can read and adjust the data.  It is free for L1 data but the L1/L2 data software needs to be purchased.

    Hope this helps,

    James
