In the setting 3D of the time evaluation 4 satellites within the view of the antenna are required to
synchronise the system with the time. At best 9-10 satellites are within the view of the antenna,
while 6 satellites can be received parallel. Mode 2 menu item 4 allow control of the number of
satellites within the view and which satellites can be received, also a relative measure of the re-
ception power is transmitted.
The time evaluation can also be done in the position fixed mode which requires only one satellite
for synchronisation (see chapter 0).
The entry
"Max Sat."
states the number of visible satellites. Six satellites can be received. The
entry
"Sat.:No/S-N"
states the satellite-pseudo-random-number.
The satellites are not numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. but named after the pseudo-random-number of the
satellite broadcasting its information. In case of a satellite failure a spare satellite can be acti-
vated under the same number. The figure after the slash indicates the signal/noise ratio. It can
vary between 0-255.
After the first installation it may take up to 4 hours before satellite data are at hand. It depends
on the start information received by the system (see programming time, position etc.) and on the
antenna position e.g. half the view range to the sky.
In the above screen there are 7 satellites in the theoretical view range, of which e.g. satellite 05
is received by the GPS-receiver with a relative signal/noise ratio of 137 and satellite 17 with 43.
The values of a bad signal/noise ratio lie within 10-30
The values of a sufficient signal/noise ratio lie within 30-70
The values of a good signal/noise ratio lie within 70 and higher
