Hi -- I recently acquired a stash of Z12 and micro-Z (uZ) receivers and that, plus a desire to develop some Python programming skills, has led me to work on a data streaming and download program to work with these receivers, a bit more modern than the circa-2000 programs that are out there. It will be open source, of course, and is on github. For the benefit of the two other people in the world still using these receivers, I'll send the link when things are a bit more polished.
I have the streaming side of the program working well; it talks to the receivers and outputs RINEX 2.11 observation files that teqc, Opus, and NRCan all seem happy with. (And it addresses the week rollover problem.) I also have the program downloading files from the Z12. I'm now working on downloading from the uZ, and have hit a snag. I wonder if anyone here knows/remembers details and can help me. I am trying to find the syntax for starting an XMODEM or ZMODEM file download. I've been using the old "remote33" perl program as a guide, which worked fine for the Z12, but I suspect its uZ code doesn't match what's in the receivers I have -- for example, the command to list available files is "$PASHQ,FLS", not "$PASHQ,FIL" as used in remote33. remote33 says the file download command is "$PASHS,FIL,DOWNLOAD,<filename>,XMODEM (or ZMODEM). But given the difference in file listing commands, I'm not sure I trust that. And the reference manual tells you all the file commands except how to download them. :-/ What is hanging me up is the filename to provide. The FLS command "$PASHQ,FLS" (not "$PASHQ you get back an index number, site name, date info, and size, but nothing that looks like a full filename. I've tried triggering a download based on the index number, and I can sometimes get and ACK response, but initiating an *MODEM transfer just times out. Some documentation indicates that the uZ files are stored on the memory card as "U files" with a name beginning with "U" built from date and session number info. The FLS response would require munging to generate a name like that (the date information is different; FLS reports GPS week, day of week, and hour:minute of day; the U files seem to use day-of-year). So... does anyone know what the proper syntax is to download files from the uZ, and what the filename is or how the filename is formed from the data the FLS command provides? Thanks much!
