20.3.3 What to do in Case of Errors<br />

20.4 Description of the Processing Examples<br />

The example PCFs will normally run without any error, provided that the installation was<br />

done correctly, no manual changes have been introduced in any files, and the required files<br />

are available. Nevertheless, errors may (and sooner or later almost certainly will) occur,<br />

mainly when you run the BPE on your own data, or have modified the examples according<br />

to your needs (which we actually recommend to do). In Section 19.11 we provide numerous<br />

hints on how to solve a variety of possible problems.<br />

20.4 Description of the Processing Examples<br />

The Process Control Files (PCF) contain a list of scripts from the ${U}/SCRIPT directory<br />

to be executed in a well-defined order by the BPE server. These scripts constitute modular<br />

building blocks, allowing to concoct complete processing schemes (PCFs) tailored to specific<br />

needs. In essence, a script runs one (or more) <strong>Bernese</strong> programs (e.g., the script COOVEL<br />

runs the <strong>Bernese</strong> program COOVEL). Program input options are taken from the directory<br />

specified in the PCF. The BPE, furthermore, allows to control the processing flow of the<br />

user scripts (sequence, loops, interdependencies, parallelization, etc.). BPE variables, which<br />

can be used in the program input option panels, e.g., for filename creation, are specified in<br />

the PCF. These variables always have the prefix V . For details be referred to Chapter 19.<br />

The following sections on the example PCFs provide an overview and descriptions of the<br />

scripts in logically connected blocks.<br />

20.4.1 Precise Point Positioning (PPP.PCF)<br />

The main purpose of this PCF is to perform a precise point positioning (PPP) using RINEX<br />

<strong>GNSS</strong> observations from a number of stationary ground receivers to obtain a set of station<br />

coordinates at a cm-level. This will be used as a priori information for the double-difference<br />

analysis done by RNX2SNX.PCF, described in Section 20.4.2. Additional tasks performed by<br />

the PPP.PCF are:<br />

• determination of phase-consistent receiver clock offsets in 5-minute intervals for time<br />

transfer,<br />

• extraction of TEC (total electron content) information (station-specific and regional<br />

ionosphere models),<br />

• estimation of receiver differential code bias (DCB) P1-P2 values,<br />

• computation of a common translation vector related to the PPP-based station coordinates.<br />

This PCF is well suited as a preparatory BPE processing step, due to the following features:<br />

• (optional) detection of missing station entries in the ocean loading correction file<br />

(extension BLQ),<br />

• update of the station name abbreviation table (extension ABB),<br />
