Bernese GPS Software Version 5.0 - Bernese GNSS Software

22.8 Station Related Files
Used by: RXOBV3, SNGDIF (”Menu>Processing>Baseline file creation”), as well as BASLST,
GPSSIM, MPRXTR, QLRINEXO, RESCHK, RESRMS , and RCVTST.
Example: Figure 22.30 and ${X}/DOC/EXAMPLE.ABB.
Station abbreviations are used for the automatic generation of filenames by programs
RXOBV3, SNGDIF, GPSSIM, and QLRINEXO. Program RXOBV3 may automatically add
unique abbreviations to the table for new stations (see Section 4.2.3.5). Abbreviations have
to be unique. Otherwise observation files may be overwritten by the observation files of
other stations. When editing the table with the menu a warning message is issued if two
abbreviations are equal.
22.8.3 Station Information File
Type: ASCII
Directory: Campaign-specific directory STA.
Extension: STA
Content: Station information (e.g., station name, receiver, antenna, and antenna
height).
Created by: User-defined, RNX2STA (”Menu>RINEX>RINEX utilities>Extract station information”)
from RINEX headers , SNX2STA (”Menu>Conversion>SINEX to station information”)
from SINEX, or edit file by using ”Menu>Campaign>Edit station files>Station information”.
TBLO2N (”Menu>Conversion>Version 4.2 to 5.0>Translation tables to station information files”)
converts Version 4.2 -formatted tables into the new format.
Used by: Several processing programs to identify LEOs, and RXOBV3 (”Menu>RINEX
>Import RINEX to Bernese format>Observation files”), CHGHED (”Menu>Service>Bernese
observation files>Change header information”), ADDNEQ2 (”Menu>Processing>Normal equation
stacking”) and PHCCNV (”Menu>Conversion>ANTEX to Bernese format”).
Example: Figure 22.31 and ${X}/DOC/EXAMPLE.STA.
The station information file is accessed by several programs and is divided into the following
sections:
(1) TYPE 001: RENAMING OF STATIONS
Using a time window you may change to a different station name. Wildcards are
allowed in the column “OLD STATION NAME”.
(2) TYPE 002: STATION INFORMATION
Using a station name and a time window you may change the information about the
antenna eccentricity and about the receiver and/or antenna type. RXOBV3 overwrites,
if desired, RINEX header entries with information from this section. In ADDNEQ2 the
station name and description specified in this type is used for the SINEX file. The
information from this section may be used with program CHGHED (”Menu>Service>Bernese
observation files>Change header information”) to adapt observation file headers accordingly. The
program PHCCNV makes sure that every given receiver antenna is also included in
the PHAS xxx.Iyy (see Section 22.4.4).
