GEOSTIX-X5

The GEOSTIX-X5 is based on Septentrio’s Mosaic-X5 GNSS module. It stands out from other GEOSTIX models with several additional features:

Specific to GEOSTIX-X5

Section titled “Specific to GEOSTIX-X5”

  1. Ethernet via USB: when the GEOSTIX is connected to a PC via the magnetic USB cable, it provides access to the module’s settings through a simple web browser at 192.168.3.1.

  2. Data recording: The module is equipped with its own SD card for recording RINEX data or in Septentrio’s proprietary format (*.sbf).

    SD card access: The SD card is accessible when the GEOSTIX is connected to a PC via the magnetic USB cable.

    It appears as a disk containing the directory SSN/GRB0051 (GRB0051 being the Mosaic-X5 code name)

    Recording organization: Each recording session is organized in a subdirectory named YYDDD, where:

    • YY represents the year of the first recording.
    • DDD represents the day of the year of the first recording.

    Within these directories, files are named according to the following convention: gstxDDDX.YYo or gstxDDDX.YYp

    • DDD and YY correspond respectively to the day and year of the first recording.
    • X corresponds to the session number within the day:
    • 0 for a recording covering a full day.
    • From 1 to 9, then from A to O for hourly sessions (from the 1st to the 24th hour).

    gstxDDDX.YYo corresponds to observations gstxDDDX.YYp corresponds to ephemerides
