3. Campaign Setup
3.5 Processing Overview
For the processing you need a priori coordinates and velocities for all your stations. To finish
the campaign setup you must add the a priori coordinates and velocities for the new sites
to the coordinate file. Therefore, the PPP procedure (example in Section 20.4.1) should be
run in the current campaign.
To prepare the PPP procedure, copy your RINEX observation files into the ORX-directory
of the campaign. In addition precise orbit files, the corresponding Earth orientation parameters,
and the clock RINEX file have to be transferred (e.g., from ftp://ftp.igs.org/
igscb/product/wwww where wwww is the GPS week, see Section 4.12.2 for more details on
downloading of IGS products). We refer to Section 20.4.1 for a detailed description of the
PPP procedure.
From this PPP procedure a complete set of a priori coordinates (IGS 00.CRD) and velocities
(IGS 00.VEL) results in the directory ${P}/MYCAMP/STA. These files provide the a priori
information for all further processing. If not done manually before the station name abbreviation
table has been updated.
The further processing of your data follows the strategy demonstrated in the processing
examples in Chapter 20. The Tables 3.1 and 3.2 provide an overview on the main processing
steps for a double- or a zero-difference analysis using Version 5.0 of Bernese GPS Software.
