Site Fix collects, calculates and displays a large volume of data while maintaining a real time connection with WinFrog. This can be tricky at best and can really bog down if your PC is not up to snuff. To take some of the burden off the processor, GPS data is collected processed, stored in a data log file and then removed from memory. Only the graphical position information is maintained in memory. While this protects against crashes and guarantees data recovery, it necessitates that the data in memory and data log file be kept in sync. No site fix can start without a data log file.
Name conventions:
Datalog filenames can be anything BUT BY CONVENTION we use the Site-Hole designation such as "U1234B.dat". Data log files are organized under Expedition folders. Again these folders can be named anything BUT BY CONVENTION we use the expedition designation "334S". By default, the Expedition folder and filenames are used in the report header.
*To select an existing data log file:*
Select the folder in Expedition Folder list box, select the data log file in the Track/Hole File list box, and click the Done button.
To create a new Expedition folder:
Click either the New Folder button or double click inside the Expedition Folder list box and enter the expedition name in the dialog box that appears.
To create *new data log file:*
Click either the New File button or double click inside the Track / Hole File list box and enter the Site-Hole name in the dialog box that appears. Please don't add the ".dat"; the program will take care of adding the extension. It will cause problems.
Click Done, when you have made your selection.
Data log files can hold a little or a lot of data. If it is of the latter variety, it may take a few seconds to load. These data log files are your backup files should you have to close down and reopen the program.
