DATA PROCESSOR
The Data Processor program is used to process GPS files into the database, and continually
monitors the Processing folder for files placed there by the Wireless Grabber program. When
files will be processed, is determined by the settings for Data Processing, which are located in the
File Viewer / Scheduler. The Data Processor can be set to process GPS data files manually, on
an as needed basis, or scheduled to process files at a specific time. The Data Processor can even
be confiqured to process files immediately, whenever a file is placed into the Processing folder. For
information on how to adjust these settings, see File Viewer / Scheduler.
The Data Processor window allows you view the number of Historical and RealTime GPS data
files waiting to be processed into the database as well as any files that have been placed into the
Unprocessed folder. When files are processed the Data Procesor picks up the file and processes
it line by line into the database. During processing, the files name is displayed in the lower portion
on the Data Processor window along with a status bar which increments from left to right
indicating processing progress. If the Data Procesor encounters a problem with the file, it will
be placed into the Unprocessed folder, and an error will be written into the database for the file.
See Unprocessed Downloads.
By default the Data Procesor program is enabled to run in the background whenever your
computer is started. Whenever the program is running, the Data Procesor icon will be visible in
the bottom right portion the Windows Desktop taskbar.
