1.What is GeoDataLogger?

GeoDataLogger is a software designed for synchronized recording of sensor data from GNSS, IMU, magnetometers, and more. Its core functionalities encompass: synchronized recording of sensor data from GNSS, IMU, magnetometers, data visualization, format conversion, exportation, and uploading. Users can also export recorded GNSS data into RINEX format for convenient subsequent processing and analysis.

2.What kinds of data are collected by the GeoDataLogger app?

-> Raw GNSS data and RINEX logs.
-> Accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensor data.

3. What files can be generated through the GeoDataLogger app?

-> sensor_log.ard: Accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensor data file.
-> gnss_log.ard: Raw GNSS data file.
-> gnss_log.obs: GNSS RINEX file.
-> gnss_log.pos: Position file.
These files are stored locally and can be used for scientific research or personal projects of interest.

4. Which data files can be uploaded and what are they used for?

Only the aforementioned four types of files are uploaded, without storing personal information such as usernames or emails. Users have full autonomy in selecting which files to upload and can preview them before making a decision.
The files are uploaded to the GeoDataLogger server and utilized for geoscience research based on crowdsourced sensor data, including earthquake monitoring, atmospheric monitoring like water vapor inversions and ionospheric disturbances.

5. How to set up the GeoDataLogger APP?

-> Set Sampling Rate: Allows users to customize the data sampling interval based on their needs.
-> Data Collection: Click the \Start\ button to initiate data collection and file generation. Users can view the real-time file size.
