We have just released magicGNSS version 1.0 (not a Beta anymore!) You can have a look at the brochure we have prepared for the new product.
One of the things you can do with the new magicGNSS 1.0 is to upload and share your own station data (as a *pro* user only). If you share a station other users will be able to process its data in PPP and ODTS. If you want to share your station data, just click on the Share checkbox in My Stations:
We are releasing today a new magicGNSS that features a first version of the long-awaited Precise Point Positioning algorithm (PPP). This new module allows solving for user station coordinates, tropospheric delay and clock by fixing the GPS satellite orbits and clocks to IGS products (ultra-rapid, rapid, or final products). The PPP module and the station data upload mechanism are now available to all magicGNSS users, not only to *pro* users.
Currently the PPP module works in static mode only (we are working hard on the dynamic or kinematic mode) and with dual-frequency code+phase measurements. You can process one or several stations (maximum 10) in the same PPP session. At the moment the maximum data span that can be processed in a single PPP session is limited to one day. More information about the PPP algorithm can be found here. You can also download an example of PPP Report.
Last December we introduced the new module COMP to compare satellite orbits. As from today you can also compare satellite clocks and station coordinates using COMP.
As in the case of orbits, clocks from ODTS (estimated and predicted) can be compared to IGS products (only rapid and final clocks, but not ultra-rapid ones yet, sorry). IGS rapid and final clocks are automatically downloaded and stored on the magicGNSS server. Rapid IGS clocks have a latency of around 2 days and final clocks have a latency of nearly two weeks. When comparing with IGS clocks, COMP tries always to choose the final IGS clock, and if it is not available it chooses the rapid one instead. (more…)
We have just made available online the first version of the COMP module. COMP is envisaged to be a flexible tool to compare many types of GNSS data products such as orbits, clocks, and coordinates.
With the current version of COMP you can inter-compare estimated and predicted satellite orbits (in SP3 format) generated by the ODTS algorithm, and also compare them with IGS products.
You can now upload and process your own station data (RINEX files). There are two ways to upload RINEX files: on the web (for all users) or by ftp (for *pro* users only).
On the web, just go to “My Stations” on the upper right corner of your account and then click on “Upload RINEX files” at the bottom of the page. Note that a single compressed file containing multiple RINEX files is supported.
By ftp, just connect to the magicgnss.gmv.com server using your magicGNSS account’s username and password. You can of course do bulk file upload and automate it using ftp. On UNIX, a convenient scheme is to combine NcFTP (ncftpget and ncftpput commands) with cron. Ftp upload is available for *pro* users only. Please note that in case of uploading your RINEX files via ftp on Windows, after logging with your user, command “bin” shall be executed prior to uploading the RINEX files by means of “put” or “mput” commands.
