PDOP: Position dilution of precision, or PDOP, shows the distribution of the GNSS
satellites. Click to show the plot of PDOP. The smaller PDOP is, the better the distribution
is.

File Data Coverage: Click to show the plot of data coverage situation. This is used to show
the data coverage relation among base station data, IMU data, and GNSS data of the
moving device.

Estimated Attitude Accuracy: Click to show the plot of attitude accuracy. This plot is used
to show that if the accuracy exceeds the limitation of the IMU accuracy. The X-axis shows
the GPS time. The Y-axis shows the attitude accuracy. Red line is for changes in Roll
direction. Green line shows the changes in Pitch direction. While the blue line shows the
changes in the heading direction.
