USING GPSOLUTION
GPSolution
provides access to key information about your
receiver and its position. The information is displayed in windows
accessed from the
View
menu. For example, select
View
|
Posi-
tion Window
from the menu to display the antenna position. To
show details of the GPS and geostationary (SBAS) satellites
being tracked, select
Tracking Status Window
from the menu.
1. GEO channels must be assigned manually using the ASSIGN
command. Select an SV channel number to apply the
command to where 0 is the first SV channel and 17 is the last:
0 to 7 for GPS and 8 for GEO (MEDLL models) or,
0 to 13 for GPS and 14 to 17 for GEO (non-MEDLL models)
Examples:
ASSIGN 0 ACTIVE 29 0 2000
ASSIGN 15 120 -250 0
ASSIGN 11 28 -250 0
The first example sets the first SV channel to acquire satellite
PRN 29 in a range from -2000 Hz to +2000 Hz until the satellite
signal has been detected. SV channel 11 is set to acquire
satellite PRN 28 at an offset of -250Hz only in the third
example.
Refer also to the ASSIGN and CHANCONFIG commands in the
EuroPak User Manual
for more details.
2. The Channel Tracking Status Window automatically resizes
based on the number of channels tracking.
