Description

Time since engage

Number of seconds or minutes since KAR was

engaged.

Time that KAR was unable to restore. Once KAR

Time skipped

has a successful solution, it tries to go backwards as

far as possible. This is the difference between the

restore time and the original cycle slip time.

Minutes used

Time that KAR used for a solution. It is not the time

since engagement.

Search distance

This is the distance when the ambiguity search was

performed. This is not the distance when KAR was

restored.

Avgerage num sats

Average number of satellites used to compute KAR

statistics. It is always be greater than or equal to 5.

L2 Noise model

Shows the model that KAR used for L2 during

processing. See KAR Options on Page 70 for

additional information.

RMS

This is the RMS fit of the KAR search, in cycles.

Values better than 0.04 usually mean a correct

solution.

This is the ratio between the second best RMS and

Reliability

the best RMS. Ratios above 3 or 4 are usually a

pass for dual frequency. The tolerance is variable

depending on the float-fixed separation.

This is the distance between the solved fixed integer

solution and the float solution at time of search. Low

numbers mean a good correspondence between

the two solutions.

Parameter

Description

Acceleration Vector

Acceleration components in Local Level frame.

Baseline Data (MB)

Displays distance, carrier phase RMS, and number of

satellites information for each baseline.

Baseline Distance

Distance separation for projects containing only one

base station.

Channel (Ambiguity)

Displays the ambiguities, as well as their standard

deviation, for each satellite being tracked.

Channel (Az/Elev)

Displays elevation and azimuth for each satellite being

tracked, in degrees.

Channel (Flag/Locktime)

Displays status flag and locktime count for each satellite

being tracked.

DOPs

Displays DD_DOP, PDOP, HDOP and VDOP.

Estimated Accuracy

Standard deviation of the position components in the

Local Level frame.

Geographic Position

Displays position and antenna height of remote at current

epoch.

Local Level Vector

Local Level vector in metres.

Measurement RMS

RMS and standard deviation of the L1 carrier phase and

C/A code measurements.

Speed/COG

Vehicle instantaneous velocity vector in m/s, and course-

over-ground. These values may be inaccurate for code-

only processing.

Status Flags

Solution quality information such as number of satellites,

quality factor and ambiguity status.

Time/Epochs

Displays time in seconds of the week, as well as a

continuous count of epochs processed. The GPS week

number is also shown.

Velocity Vector

Components of velocity in the Local Level frame.

Channel Data B/L

Allows for selection of baseline for which to display

channel information.

Information

RMS

RMS value computed by fixed solution (should be less than 0.02), in

metres

This is the ratio between the second best RMS and the best RMS.

Reliability

Ratios above 3 or 4 are usually always a pass for dual frequency. The

tolerance is 1.5. For single frequency, ratios are lower, but greater

than 2 is usually correct. The tolerance for single frequency is 1.35.

Frequency

This means the data type used. If a fixed solution fails on a short

baseline using dual frequency data, the software tries again using

only single frequency.

Time

Amount of time used in the solution, in hh:mm:ss format

Fixed static solution type used. Continuous looks for the best

Type

“continuous” overall time period/block of data. NewFixed (multi-sat)

uses all of the data, although it may reject some satellite arcs.
