Observations

• Observations menu allows to verify the raw data observations and assign the reference or rover status before processing the data.

• Click Observations.

  

• The Observations toolbar is opened.

  

• In the central panel the imported observations are visualized.

  

• The table shows the raw data sessions imported. The information available are:

  • Point name: the name of the static point.

  • Point type: the type of the point:

    • Autonomous: the point status is navigated.

    • Control: the point status is control. The coordinate of the point is fixed.

    • Fixed PP: the point status is ambiguity fixed.

    • Float PP: the status of the point is float.

    • Adjusted: the point has been adjusted with network adjustment

  • Start time: the start of the static session.

  • End time: the end of the static session.

  • Duration: the session duration.

  • Satellite system: the satellite system recorded in the raw data.

  • Occupation mode: the occupation mode if static or kinematic.

  • Sampling rate (sec): the sampling rate in seconds of the imported raw data.

  • Latitude: the latitude of the point.

  • Longitude: the longitude of the point.

  • Height: the height of the point.

  • WGS84 ECEF X: the geocentric coordinate X of the point.

  • WGS84 ECEF Y: the geocentric coordinate Y of the point.

  • WGS84 ECEF Z: the geocentric coordinate Z of the point.

  • Antenna height: the height of the antenna.

  • Antenna name: the name of the antenna used to record the data.

  • Antenna SN: the serial number of the antenna used to record the data.

  • Receiver name: the name of the GNSS receiver used to record the data.

  • Receiver SN: the serial number of the receiver used to record the data.

• Using the Observations toolbar, or right-clicking on an observation, it is possible to edit the points and assign the status Reference or Rover.

  • Reference : assign this status to an observation if the raw data is from a reference station/base.

  • Rover : assign this status to an observation if the raw data is from a rover.

  • Static : assign this status to a raw data to process it as SPP (single point positioning).

  • Reset : to reset an assigned status.

  • Delete : to delete an observation.

  • Edit : to edit the observation properties, for example to change its coordinates, the antenna height or the point name.

  • Control : to set the point type as Control. A control point is a point with known coordinates, for example a reference station.

  • Edit internval : to modify the time inverval of an observation.

  • Reset inverval : to restore the original inverval.

Edit the observation properties

• Using the function Edit, it is possible to edit the properties of an observation. This function opens a window.

• Observation page:

  

  • Point name: the name of the observation, it is possible to modify the name editing this field.

  • IGS antenna name: the IGS antenna name for this observation, it is possible to force a difference antenna name from antennas available in the Antennas page.

  • Antenna height: the height of the antenna, it is possible to modify the value editing this field.

• Coordinates page:

  

  • Point name: the name of the observation, it is possible to modify the name editing this field.

  • Point type: the type of point, it is possible to change the point type depending on the available types for the selected observation.

  • Latitude/Longitude/Height: the WGS84 coordinates for the point. The coordinates are editable if the point type is Control.

  • X/Y/Z: the local coordinates for the point, depending on the coordinate system assigned to the project. The coordinates are editable if the point type is Control.

Edit the inverval

• Using the function Edit interval it is possible to edit time interval of a selected observation.

  

  • Start day: the starting day for the observation, change this field to use selected observation from another starting day.

  • Start hour: the starting time for the observation, change this field to use selected observation from another starting time.

  • End day: the ending day for the observation, change this field to use selected observation from another ending day.

  • End hour: the ending time for the observation, change this field to use selected observation from another ending time.

  • Duration: the duration of selected observation.

Export RINEX

• It is possible to export observations in the standard RINEX format.

• Select the observations to export.

• Click Export RINEX.

  

• This command opens a new window.

  

  • Path: the destination folder where to save the RINEX data.

  • RINEX versions: the RINEX version to export the data (2.11, 3.02, 3.04)

  • Create single file: enables/disables the creation of a single file or multiple files in case more observations are selected.

  • GPS/GLONASS/BEIDOU/GALILEO/QZSS: enables/disables the inclusion of observations from the selected constellations.

• Click OK to export the data.
