The color of the text for each satellite indicates whether the satellite is used in the
position solution. When the text is in red, the satellite is used in the solution. When
the text is in gray, the satellite is not used in the solution.
In stationary or static applications it is necessary to place the antenna where it can get
a clear view of the sky. Sometimes there are obstructions to the antenna and knowing
the effect on the tracking of satellites is essential. The Azimuth and Elevation
Window has the ability to show graphically the elevation mask angle. This is the blue
jagged line that is built by using satellite information. Using the information from the
SNR and solution status, a graphical representation of the mask angle is built. This
may take as long a 24 hours of tracking. Below is an example of how the physical
elevation mask looks after 16 hours of acquisition on the West Coast on North
America. See Azimuth and Elevation Properties for more information on
configuration settings to the physical mask angle.
