[Getting Started with SmartFix](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/smartfix?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-smartfix) # SmartFix RINEX Data & Post-Processing Guide If you are conducting static surveys or require data for post-processing kinematics (PPK) rather than real-time corrections, you can download static observation files directly from the SmartFix network via the **X-Pos RINEX Download Service**. #### 1. Licensing & Access Requirements The X-Pos RINEX downloader is a premium, license-based service. To access it, your SmartFix subscription must have an active X-Pos license attached to your login credentials. If you do not see the **"RINEX Data"** option in your dashboard, please contact your Global Survey sales representative. > **NOTE:** Global Survey occasionally offers trial periods for the X-Pos service, allowing you to test post-processing workflows before committing to an annual administrative license. --- #### 2. Navigating the X-Pos Downloader 1. **Login:** Navigate to the SmartFix Site Overview dashboard at **[www.smartfix.co.nz/SBC](http://www.smartfix.co.nz/SBC)** and log in using your standard SmartFix NTRIP credentials. 2. **Access the Tool:** On the left-hand sidebar, navigate to **Post Processing \> RINEX Data**. 3. **Availability:** The portal displays the data availability for all hosted reference stations over the last 30 days. Clicking the percentage icon (%) will provide a detailed completeness summary. --- #### 3. Selecting and Downloading Your Data Once in the RINEX Data portal, follow these steps to extract your target files: 1. **Define Your Timeframe:** Use the calendar icon to specify your precise Start Date and Start Time. Adjust the blue slider to define the exact duration of the data you require. 2. **Select Your Stations:** You can select target reference stations either by clicking them graphically on the interactive map or by checking the boxes next to their station names in the right-hand list. 3. **Formatting Options:** SmartFix allows you to configure your output before downloading. You can choose to merge multiple 15-minute file blocks into a single continuous file, and you can specify a custom observation rate (e.g., thinning 1-second data down to 5-second intervals). 4. **Submit & Confirm:** Click **Submit**. A summary popup will appear detailing file sizes and requested timeframes. Click **Confirm** to process the request. 5. **Download:** The system prepares your data in standard RINEX v3.x format compressed into `.zip` files. You can enter a project name for archiving (files are retained on the server for 3 months) and select **Download All** to save them locally. --- #### 4. Off-Portal Station Requests > **IMPORTANT:** **Not all active SmartFix Network Reference Stations are hosted on the self-service X-Pos RINEX portal.** > > Because Global Survey pays external administration and licensing fees for every individual reference station exposed to the self-service RINEX tool, a smaller, curated sub-set of the national network is maintained on the X-Pos portal to keep subscription costs viable. **What if the station I need isn't listed?** If you require raw static data from an active SmartFix reference station that is *not* currently accessible via your X-Pos dashboard, **do not panic.** The raw data is still actively recorded and archived on Global Survey's backend servers. Simply contact the dedicated SmartFix team at **[Smartfix@globalsurvey.co.nz](mailto:Smartfix@globalsurvey.co.nz)** or general technical support at **[support@globalsurvey.co.nz](mailto:support@globalsurvey.co.nz)** with the following details: \* The required **Station ID or Location**  \* The exact **Date and Time window** (Please specify New Zealand time vs. GPS time). \* The required **Observation Interval** (e.g., 1 sec, 5 sec). The support team manually extracts the necessary RINEX files from the backend archives and securely delivers them to you. - [Machine Control](https://knowledgebase.globalsurvey.co.nz/machine-control?hsLang=en#main-content) -
