 When feeding a real-time GNSS engine waiting epoch by epoch for synchronized Ephemeris Corrections, BNC drops (only concering IP port output) whatever is received later than 'Wait for full epoch' seconds. A value of 2 to 5 seconds could be an appropriate choice for that, depending on the latency of the incoming Ephemeris Corrections stream and the delay acceptable by your application. A message such as "COCK1: Correction overaged by 5 sec" shows up in BNC's logfile if 'Wait for full epoch' is exceeded.

Mean latencies are calculated from the individual latencies of at most one (first incoming) observation or correction to Broadcast Ephemeris per second. Note that computing correct latencies requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized.

To initiate these streams, an approximate rover position needs to be sent in NMEA GGA message to the NTRIP broadcaster. In return, a user-specific data stream is generated, typically by a Network-RTK software. This stream is customized to the exact latitude and longitude as shown in the 'lat' and 'long' columns under 'Mountpoints'. These VRS streams are indicated by a 'yes' in the 'nmea' column under 'Mountpoints' as well as in the sourcetable. The default 'lat' and 'long' values are taken from the sourcetable. However, in most cases you would probably want to change this according to your requirement. Double click on 'lat' and 'long' fields, enter the values you wish to send and then hit Enter. The format is in positive north latitude degrees (e.g. for northern hemisphere: 52.436, for southern hemisphere: -24.567) and eastern longitude degrees (e.g.: 358.872 or -1.128). Only mountpoints with a 'yes' in its 'nmea' column can be edited. The position should preferably be a point within the coverage of the network.</p>"));
