2 Getting Started with SG5

2.1 About the Receiver

The new GEOMATE SG5 GNSS receiver offers integrated IMU-RTK technology to provide a
robust and accurate GNSS positioning in any circumstances. Unlike the standard MEMS
based GNSS receivers, the SG5 GNSS IMU-RTK combines state-of-the-art GNSS RTK engine,
calibration-free professional IMU sensor and advanced GNSS tracking capabilities. Survey
projects are achieved with high productivity and reliability pushing the boundaries of
conventional GNSS RTK survey.

The LCD panel enables user to check satellite-tracking status, internal battery status, Wi-Fi
status, working mode, data logging status and basic receiver information. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
technology provides cable-free communication between the receiver andcontroller.

The receiver can be used as the part of an RTK GNSS system with GEOMATE MateSurvey
software. Moreover, user can download the GNSS data that recorded in the internal memory
of receiver to a computer.

The receiver can be used as the part of an RTK GNSS system with GEOMATE MateSurvey
software. And you can download the GNSS data that recorded in the internal memory of
receiver to a computer.

To configure the receiver for performing a wide variety of functions, you can use the web
interface by connecting the receiver with PC or smartphone through Wi-Fi.

2.2 Parts of the Receiver

The operating controls are all located on the front panel. SIM card slot is on the backside. Serial
ports and connectors are located on the bottom of the unit.

2.7 Downloading Logged Data

Data logging involves the collection of GNSS measurement data over a period at a static point
or points, and subsequent post-processing of the information to accurately compute baseline
information. Data logging using receivers requires access to suitable GNSS post-processing
software such as the GEOMATE MateOffice Software.

2.7.1 FTP Download

The procedures of downloading logged data through FTP are as follows:

(1) Switch on the receiver, search its Wi-Fi in the computer and connect.
(2) After the successful connection, open the file manager in the computer and input
“ftp:\\192.168.1.1” in the address box.

(3) Input user name and password, the default user name and password are “ftp”.

(4) Double click the folder “repo_receiver SN” (take 3411955 as example), you will see 9
folders. The “push_log” folder is used to save the log files, and the other 8 folders represent
different logging sessions and are used for store static data.

GEOMATE SG5 GNSS USER GUIDE | 2023-02 P a g e | 23

5
Getting Started with SG5

(5) Double click the folder that you have configured to store the static data, you will see the
folder(s) created by the SG5 system automatically and named by the date which is decide by
GPS time when you start to log data.

(6) Select the destination folder and double click it, two folders named as different data
format (hcn and rinex) will be displayed.

(7) Select the data format that you configured to save the static data, you will find the static
raw data.

Notes: For hcn files, the name of the file is represented as XXXXXXDDDNN, where XXXXXX is
the SN of the receiver, DDD is day of year, and NN is the recording session.

WARNING – The static data will be saved in the first logging session, the “record_1”
folder, by default. Old files will be deleted if the storage space is full. If you configure not to
auto delete old files when the memory is low, the receiver will stop datalogging.

2.7.2 Web Server Download

The procedures of downloading logged data through web server refer to 5.4.4 Data
Download Submenu.

GEOMATE SG5 GNSS USER GUIDE | 2023-02 P a g e | 24

5
Getting Started with SG5

2.7.3 USB Download

The procedures of downloading logged data in the receiver are as follows:

(1) Switch on the receiver and connect it with a computer by Type-C. After the
successful connection, a removable disk named as the Serial Number (SN) of the receiver will
appear on the computer.

(2) Double click the removable disk and you will see the folder named as “repo”.

(3) Double click this folder, you will see 9 folders. The “push_log” folder is used to save the
log files, and the other 8 folders represent different logging session and are used for store
static data.

(4) Double click the folder that you have configured to store the static data, you will see the
folder(s) created by the SG5 system automatically and named by the date which is decide by
GPS time when you start to log data.

(5) Select the destination folder and double click it, and then two folders named as different
