10.3 Coordinate and Velocity Estimation in Practice<br />

10.3.1 Program Output and Result Files Related to Coordinates<br />

<strong>GPS</strong>EST and ADDNEQ2 provide very similar coordinate and velocity 2 related sections in<br />

the program output files. All introduced station coordinates and velocities (if set up) are<br />

reported in the first part of the program output. A priori coordinates and velocities are<br />

tabulated in a geocentric, Earth-fixed, cartesian system as well as in latitude, longitude and<br />

height.<br />

Each station is marked with one of the following flags:<br />

ESTIM : station coordinates/velocities are estimated,<br />

FIXED : fixed on their a priori values,<br />

HELMR : estimated and used to define the minimum constraints condition, or<br />

ECCEN : refer to an eccenter station.<br />

The next output section lists the coordinate/velocity constraints for each station or – in<br />

case of a minimum constraint solution – the network constraints.<br />

Figure 10.2 shows an excerpt of the result part in the program output (from ADDNEQ2,<br />

including estimated velocities). Cartesian coordinates are given in units of meters, geographical<br />

coordinates in degree/minute/second, and velocities in meters per year. The output is<br />

quite self explaining, only columns (7)–(10) need further explanation:<br />

2 Velocity related information is only available in ADDNEQ2.<br />
