20.5 Processing own Data With Example BPEs
To bring your own BPEs to this status you have to perform the following update steps:
(1) Add the correct radome codes to the station information file (EXAMPLE.STA in the
campaigns STA-directory; if you prefer to use a copy of this file, the input filename for
all runs of the programs RNXGRA, RXOBV3, and ADDNEQ2 have to be exchanged.
You may use the ”Menu>Configure>Change general options” analogous to the exchange of the
“Satellite info” and “Phase center ecc.” files descried below).
(2) Enable the option “Consider radome code of the antennas” in panel “RXOBV3 4: Input
Options 2” in all BPE option directories containing RXOBV3.INP. Use the ”Menu>BPE
>Edit PCF program input files” for this task.
(3) Finally, the satellite information and phase center eccentricity files for most of the
programs in the BPE have to be adopted. In order to allow for an efficient switch
between relative and absolute PCVs (and in future, to follow further PCV model
updates) in the BPE, it is recommended to use a BPE variable V PCV for the file
extensions.
a) Change the names of the “Satellite info” file in all program panels of the option
directories (select ${U}/OPT/* for the “Panel directory”) from SATELLIT.
to SATELLIT.$(PCV) and of the “Phase center ecc.” from PHAS IGS.REL to
PHAS ccc.$(PCV). The string ccc is an arbitrary three character abbreviation, e.g.,
identifying your institution. You may use the program CHNGEN (”Menu>Configure
>Change general options”).
b) Define the V PCV variable in all PCFs by including the line:
#
VARIABLE DESCRIPTION DEFAULT
8******* 40************************************** 16**************
...
V_PCV GNSS PCV MODEL I01
...
#
# DO NOT USE V_D, V_J, V_M, V_Y VARIABLES!
#
You may either use an ASCII editor or the ”Menu>BPE>Edit process control file (PCF)”,
panel “BPE Server Variables”.
By using a variable for the file extension you are well prepared for any further update
of the antenna model.
20.5.5 How to Include Kinematic Stations in the BPEs
20.5.5.1 Precise Point Positioning (PPP.PCF)
The following steps are necessary to estimate kinematic coordinates for a station using the
PPP.PCF BPE:
PID 232 CODSPP P:
• Turn on kinematic mode by setting option “Estimate coordinates” in panel “COD-
SPP 2: Input Options” to KINEMATIC
