New, Save, Run… and get real-time clocks in 3 clicks!

September 29th, 2008 by Ricardo Píriz

What is the most exciting way to use magicGNSS? Actually, the easiest one! Inside your magicGNSS account, just click on New to define a new scenario (scenario Name and Start and End dates are provided by default), then click on Save to create the new scenario, and then click on Run to process the data and generate results.

In fact the application selects by default yesterday as Start Date and today as End Date. In this way you get the most recent ODTS estimations possible, for example to monitor the latest behaviour of all GPS satellite clocks, with a latency of just a couple of hours.

Start and End dates are relative to GPS Time, not to the local time of your town! Currently GPS Time is ahead of UTC by just 14 seconds, therefore UTC (or its equivalent Greenwich Mean Time) is a good approximation to GPS Time.

Example of ODTS Report

The output of each ODTS run with magicGNSS Beta is a zip file containing a number of products. In addition, the zip file includes a comprehensive report in pdf format that summarizes:

  • The configuration of the scenario
  • The most relevant process information (such as measurement residuals, stations or satellites rejected, etc)
  • Key outputs such as satellite and station clock plots (including Allan Deviation) or zenith tropospheric delay plots

If you wish to see how it looks like without having to run an scenario, you can download an example from here.

magicGNSS Beta is online!

September 16th, 2008 by Álvaro Mozo

Today we make magicGNSS Beta available to everybody!

magicGNSS Beta is the first available version of our suite of GNSS algorithms and products. With this beta, you can do precise Orbit Determination and Time Synchronisation (ODTS) of GPS satellites, using data from a network of Core Stations available in near real time. The results include satellite orbit estimations and predictions, station and satellite clock estimations, station coordinates and tropospheric zenith delays.

In a few easy steps you will be able to configure and run a scenario. After a few minutes, the execution will conclude and you will be able to download the results and a comprehensive report of the outputs.
