Observations

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

  • Click Observations.

  • 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.

      • Averaged: the coordinate of the point is an average. It is possible to expand the information from the Points page.

      • 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 image-20250108-124630.png : assign this status to an observation if the raw data is from a reference station/base.

    • Rover image-20250108-124644.png : assign this status to an observation if the raw data is from a rover.

    • Static image-20250108-124656.png : assign this status to a raw data to process it as SPP (single point positioning).

    • Reset image-20250108-124713.png : to reset an assigned status.

    • Delete image-20250108-124730.png : to delete an observation.

    • Edit image-20250108-124743.png : to edit the observation properties, for example to change its coordinates, the antenna height or the point name.

    • Control image-20250108-124756.png : to set the point type as Control. A control point is a point with known coordinates, for example a reference station.

    • Edit internval image-20250108-124933.png : to modify the time inverval of an observation.

    • Reset inverval image-20250108-124947.png : 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.
