If the box below the logger name field is checked, 
the logger will store GPS data only if it has been dif-
ferentially corrected.  If the differential correction is 
not found, only the SPAD reading will be stored in 
the data file.  A time zone correction should be en-
tered in the last box.  Appendix 1 (p. 13) lists time 
zone corrections for several cities.

After clicking the 

Download

 button, a progress bar 

will confirm that data is being extracted from the log-
ger.  When com-
pleted, the 

Save Data 

As 

box will appear.  

From here you can 
give the data file a de-
scriptive name and 
select a folder in 
which to save it.  The folder selection field on the 
right allows you to browse to any folder in your sys-
tem.   
 
When the file has been saved, the software will give 
you the option of immediately viewing the file.  The 
data file is stored as a comma-delimited text file (see 
p. 8) and may be viewed in any text editor or spread-
sheet software.

Data is not automatically removed from the logger 
memory after a download.  The 

Clear Memory 

but-

ton  clears all data from the memory.
