+<p>
+The BKG Ntrip Client (BNC) is a program for simultaneously retrieving, decoding, converting and processing or analyzing real-time GNSS data streams applying the 'Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol' (Ntrip) standard. It has been developed within the framework of the IAG sub-commission for Europe (EUREF) and the International GNSS Service (IGS). Although meant to be a real-time tool, it comes with some post processing functionality. It can be used for data coming from Ntrip Broadcasters like
+<ul>
+<li><u>http://www.euref-ip.net/home</u></li>
+<li><u>http://www.igs-ip.net/home</u></li>
+<li><u>http://products.igs-ip.net/home</u></li>
+<li><u>http://mgex.igs-ip.net/home</u> </li>
+</ul>
+or similar caster installation.

-<h3>Looking Back<a class="headerlink" href="#looking-back" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>A basic function of BNC is streaming GNSS data over the open Internet using the Ntrip transport protocol. Employing IP streaming for satellite positioning goes back to the beginning of our century. Wolfgang Rupprecht has been the first person who developed TCP/IP server software under the acronym of DGPS-IP <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#rupprecht2000a" id="id1">[1]</a> and published it under GNU General Public License (GPL). While connecting marine beacon receivers to PCs with permanent access to the Internet he transmitted DGPS corrections in an RTCM format to support Differential GPS positioning over North America. With approximately 200 bits/sec the bandwidth requirement for disseminating beacon data was comparatively small. Each stream was transmitted over a unique combination of IP address and port. Websites informed about existing streams and corresponding receiver positions.</p>
-<p>To cope with an increasing number of transmitting GNSS reference stations, the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) together with the Informatik Centrum Dortmund (ICD) in Germany developed a streaming protocol for satellite navigation data called &#8216;Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol&#8217; (Ntrip). The protocol was built on top of the HTTP standard and included the provision of meta data describing the stream content. Any stream could now be globally transmitted over just one IP port: HTTP port 80. Stream availability and content details became part of the transport protocol. The concept was first published in 2003 <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#weber2004a" id="id2">[2]</a>, <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#weber2005a" id="id3">[3]</a> and was based on three software components, namely an NtripServer pushing data from a reference station to an NtripCaster and an NtripClient pulling data from the stream splitting caster to support a rover receiver. (Note that from a socket-programmers perspective NtripServer and NtripClient both act as clients; only the NtripCaster operates as socket-server.) Ntrip could essentially benefit from Internet Radio developments. It was the ICECAST multimedia server, which provided the bases for BKG&#8217;s &#8216;Professional Ntrip Broadcaster&#8217; with software published first in 2003 and of course again as Open Source under GPL.</p>
-<p>For BKG as a governmental agency, making Ntrip an Open Industry Standard has been an objective from the very beginning. The &#8216;Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services&#8217; (RTCM) accepted &#8216;Ntrip Version 1&#8217; in 2004 as &#8216;RTCM Recommended Standard&#8217; <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#weber2005b" id="id4">[4]</a>. Nowadays there is almost no geodetic GNSS receiver which does not come with integrated NtripClient and NtripServer functionality as part of the firmware. Hundreds of NtripCaster implementations are operated world-wide for highly accurate satellite navigation through RTK networks. Thousands of reference stations upload observations via NtripServer to central computing facilities for any kind of NtripClient application. In 2011 &#8216;Ntrip Version 2&#8217; was released <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#rtcm-sc104-2011a" id="id5">[5]</a> which cleared and fixed some design problems and HTTP protocol violations. It also supports TCP/IP via SSL and adds optional communication over RTSP/RTP and UDP.</p>
-<p>With the advent of Ntrip as an open streaming standard, BKG&#8217;s interest turned towards taking advantage from free real-time access to GNSS observations. International Associations such as the IAG Reference Frame Sub Commissions for Africa (AFREF), Asia &amp; Pacific (APREF), Europe (EUREF), North America (NAREF) Latin America &amp; Caribbean (SIRGAS), and the International GNSS Service (IGS) maintain continental or even global GNSS networks with the majority of modern receivers supporting Ntrip stream upload. Through operating BKG&#8217;s NtripCaster software, these networks became extremely valuable sources of real-time GNSS information. In 2005, this was the starting point for developing the &#8216;BKG Ntrip Client&#8217; (BNC) as a multi-stream Open Source NtripClient that allows pulling hundreds of streams simultaneously from any number of NtripCaster installations world-wide. Decoding incoming RTCM streams and output observations epoch by epoch via IP port to feed a real-time GNSS network engine became BNC&#8217;s first and foremost ability <a class="reference internal" href="bnchelp.html#weber2009a" id="id6">[6]</a>. Converting decoded streams to short high-rate RINEX files to assist near real-time applications became a welcome by-product right from the start of this development.</p>
-<p>Adding real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) support to BNC began in 2010 as an important completion in view of developing an Open RTCM Standard for that. According to the State Space Representation (SSR) model, new Version 3 messages are proposed to provide e.g. satellite orbit and clock corrections and ionospheric corrections as well as biases for code and phase data. The ultimate goal for SSR standardization is to reach centimeter level accuracy within seconds as an alternative to Network RTK methods such as VRS, FKP, and MAC. Because of interoperability aspects, an Open Standard in this area is of particular interest for clients. Regarding stand-alone PPP in BNC, it is worth mentioning that the program is not and can never be in competition with a receiver manufacturer&#8217;s proprietary solution. Only software or services that are part of a receiver firmware could have the potential of becoming a thread for commercial interests. However, implementing or not implementing an Open PPP approach in a firmware is and will always remain a manufacturer&#8217;s decision.</p>
-<p>Implementing some post processing capability is essential for debugging real-time software in case of problems. So certain real-time options in BNC were complemented to work offline through reading data from files. Moreover, beginning in 2012, the software was extended to support Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS besides GPS and GLONASS. With that, the Open Source tool BNC could be used for RINEX Version 3 file editing, concatenation and quality checks, a post processing functionality demanded by the IGS Multi-GNSS Experiment and not really covered at that time by UNAVCO&#8217;s famous TEQC program with its limitation on GPS.</p>
-<p>Over the years, the BNC Subversion (SVN) software archive received over seven thousand commits made by 11 contributors representing about one hundred thirty thousand lines of code. The well-established, mature codebase is mostly written in C++ language. Its publication under GNU GPL is thought to be well-suited for test, validation and demonstration of new approaches in precise real-time satellite navigation when IP streaming is involved. Commissioned by a German governmental agency, the overall intention has been to push the development of RTCM Recommended Standards to the benefit of IAG institutions and services such as IGS and the interested public in general.</p>
-<p>In February 2014 the overall responsibility at BKG for the concept and realization of BNC was handed over from Georg Weber to Axel R{&#8220;u}lke. He is in charge now for guiding the application and further evolution of the software in view of appearing new satellite navigation systems and services.</p>

+BNC can be used in different contexts with varying data flows. Typical real-time communication follows the Ntrip protocol over TCP/IP (probably via SSL), RTSP/RTP or UDP, plain TCP/IP protocol, or serial communication links. Stream content could be observations, ephemeris, satellite orbit/clock products or NMEA sentences.

+The first of the following figures shows a flow chart of BNC connected to a GNSS receiver providing observations via serial or TCP communication link for the purpose of Precise Point Positioning. The second figure shows the conversion of RTCM streams to RINEX files. The third figure shows a flow chart of BNC feeding a real-time GNSS engine which estimates precise orbits and clocks. BNC is used in this scenario to encode correctors to RTCM Version 3 and upload them to an Ntrip Broadcaster. The fourth figure shows BNC combining several Broadcast Correction streams to disseminate the combination product while saving results in SP3 and Clock RINEX files.

+Furthermore, apart from its regular window mode, BNC can be run as a batch/background job in a 'no window' mode, using processing options from a previously saved configuration or from command line.
+</p>
+<p>
+Unless it runs offline, BNC
+</p>
+<ul>
 <li>Requires access to the Internet with a minimum of about 2 to 6 kbits/sec per stream depending on the stream format and the number of visible satellites. You need to make sure that the connection can sustain the required bandwidth;</li>
 <li>Requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized;</li>
 <li>Has the capacity to retrieve hundreds of GNSS data streams simultaneously. Please be aware that such usage may incur a heavy load on the Ntrip Broadcaster side depending on the number of streams requested. We recommend limiting the number of streams where possible to avoid unnecessary workload.</li>
 </ul>
-<p>The main window of BNC shows a &#8216;Top menu bar&#8217; section, a &#8216;Settings&#8217; sections with panels to set processing options, a &#8216;Streams&#8217; section, a section for &#8216;Log&#8217; tabs, and a &#8216;Bottom menu bar&#8217; section <a class="reference internal" href="#fig-5"><span class="std std-numref">(Fig. 5)</span></a>.</p>

-</div>
-<p>Running BNC in interactive mode requires graphics support. This is also required in batch mode when producing plots. Windows and Mac OS X systems always support graphics. However, when using BNC in batch mode on Linux systems for producing plots, you need to make sure that at least a virtual X-Server like &#8216;Xvfb&#8217; is installed and the &#8216;-display&#8217; command line option is used.</p>
-<p>The usual handling of BNC is that you first select a number of streams (&#8216;Add Stream&#8217;). Any stream configured to BNC shows up on the &#8216;Streams&#8217; canvas in the middle of BNC&#8217;s main window. You then go through BNC&#8217;s various configuration panels to set a combination of input, processing and output options before you start the program (&#8216;Start&#8217;). Most configuration panels are dedicated to a certain function of BNC. If the first option field on such a configuration panel is empty, the affected functionality is deactivated.</p>
-<p>Records of BNC&#8217;s activities are shown in the &#8216;Log&#8217; tab which is part of the &#8216;Log&#8217; canvas. The bandwidth consumption per stream, the latency of incoming observations, and a PPP time series for coordinate displacements are also part of that canvas and shown in the &#8216;Throughput&#8217;, &#8216;Latency&#8217; and &#8216;PPP Plot&#8217; tabs.</p>
-<p>Configuration options are usually first set using BNC&#8217;s Graphical User Interface (GUI), then saved in a configuration file. For routine operations in batch mode all of BNC&#8217;s configuration options can be extracted from the configuration file and applied using the program&#8217;s Command Line Interface (CLI).</p>

-<div class="section" id="limitations">
-<span id="index-6"></span><h3>Limitations<a class="headerlink" href="#limitations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>In Qt-based desktop environments (like KDE) on Unix/Linux platforms it may happen that you experience a crash of BNC at startup even when running the program in the background using the &#8216;-nw&#8217; option. This is a known bug most likely resulting from an incompatibility of Qt libraries in the environment and in BNC. Entering the command <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unset</span> <span class="pre">SESSION\MANAGER</span></code> before running BNC may help as a work-around.</li>
-<li>Using RTCM Version 3 to produce RINEX files, BNC will properly handle most message types. However, when handling message types 1001, 1003, 1009 and 1011 where the ambiguity field is not set, the output will be no valid RINEX. All values will be stored modulo 299792.458 (speed of light).</li>
-<li>Using RTCM Version 2, BNC will only handle message types 18 and 19 or 20 and 21 together with position and the antenna offset information carried in types 3 and 22. Note that processing carrier phase corrections and pseudo-range corrections contained in message types 20 and 21 needs access to Broadcast Ephemeris. Hence, whenever dealing with message types 20 and 21, make sure that Broadcast Ephemeris become available for BNC through also retrieving at least one RTCM Version 3 stream carrying message types 1019 (GPS ephemeris) and 1020 (GLONASS ephemeris).</li>
-<li>BNC&#8217;s &#8216;Get Table&#8217; function only shows the STR records of a source-table. You can use an Internet browser to download the full source-table content of any Ntrip Broadcaster by simply entering its URL in the form of <a class="reference external" href="http://host:port">http://host:port</a>. Data field number 8 in the NET records may provide information about where to register for an Ntrip Broadcaster account.</li>
-<li>EUREF as well as IGS adhere to an Open Data policy. Streams are made available through Ntrip Broadcasters at www.euref-ip.net, www.igs-ip.net, products.igs-ip.net, and mgex.igs-ip.net free of charge to anyone for any purpose. There is no indication up until now how many users will need to be supported simultaneously. The given situation may develop in such a way that it might become difficult to serve all registered users at the same times. In cases where limited resources on the Ntrip Broadcaster side (software restrictions, bandwidth limitation etc.) dictates, first priority in stream provision will be given to stream providers followed by re-broadcasting activities and real-time analysis centers while access to others might be temporarily denied.</li>
-<li>Once BNC has been started, many of its configuration options cannot be changed as long as it is stopped. See chapter &#8216;Reread Configuration&#8217; for on-the-fly configuration exceptions.</li>
-<li>Drag and drop of configuration files is currently not supported on Mac OS X. On such system you have to start BNC via command line.</li>

-<p>A dynamically compiled shared library build for Mircrosoft Windows systems is provided as Microsoft Installer (MSI) file. MSI files are used for installation, storage, and removal of programs. The BNC files are contained in a MSI package, which is used with the program&#8217;s client-side installer service, an .EXE file, to open and install the program. We used the MinGW Version 4.4.0 compiler to create BNC for Windows. After installation your <cite>bnc.exe</cite> file shows up e.g. under &#8216;All Programs&#8217;.</p>
-<p class="rubric">Linux Build</p>
-<p>Static library and shared library builds for BNC are provided for a selection of Linux distributions. Download the ZIP archive for a version which fits to your Linux system, unzip the archive and run the included BNC binary. A static build would be sufficient in case you do not want BNC to plot PPP results with Google Map (GM) or OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps in the background. GM/OSM usage requires BNC builds from shared libraries.</p>

+The main window of BNC shows a 'Top menu bar' section, a 'Settings' sections with panels to set processing options, a 'Streams' section, a section for 'Log' tabs, and a 'Bottom menu bar' section, see figure below.
+</p>
+<p><img src="IMG/screenshot09.png"/></p>
+<p><u>Figure 5:</u> Sections on BNC's main window</p>
+
+<p>
+Running BNC in interactive mode requires graphics support. This is also
+required in batch mode when producing plots. Windows and Mac OS X systems always
+support graphics. However, when using BNC in batch mode on Linux systems for
+producing plots, you need to make sure that at least a virtual X-Server like
+'Xvfb' is installed and the '-display' command line option is used.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The usual handling of BNC is that you first select a number of streams ('Add Stream'). Any stream configured to BNC shows up on the 'Streams' canvas in the middle of BNC's main window. You then go through BNC's various configuration panels to set a combination of input, processing and output options before you start the program ('Start'). Most configuration panels are dedicated to a certain function of BNC. If the first option field on such a configuration panel is empty, the affected functionality is deactivated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Records of BNC's activities are shown in the 'Log' tab which is part of the 'Log' canvas. The bandwidth consumption per stream, the latency of incoming observations, and a PPP time series for coordinate displacements are also part of that canvas and shown in the 'Throughput', 'Latency' and 'PPP Plot' tabs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Configuration options are usually first set using BNC's Graphical User Interface (GUI), then saved in a configuration file. For routine operations in batch mode all of BNC's configuration options can be extracted from the configuration file and applied using the program's Command Line Interface (CLI).

+  gmake install
+</pre>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Qt will be installed into directory /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5. To reconfigure, run 'gmake confclean' and 'configure'. Note that the '-prefix' option allows you to specify a directory for saving the Qt libraries. This ensures that you do not run into conflicts with other
+Qt installations on your host. Note further that the following two lines<pre>
+  export QTDIR="/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5"
+  export PATH="$QTDIR/bin:$PATH"</pre>
+
+need to be added either to $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc. Once that is done, logout/login and start using Qt 4.8.5.
+</p>
+<p>
+To compile the BNC program, you first download the source code from SVN repository <u>http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/svn/trunk/BNC</u>. Go to directory BNC and run the following commands: <pre>
+  qmake bnc.pro
+  make
+</pre>
+You will find a build of BNC in directory BNC.
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Mac OS X Systems</b><br>
+
+<u>Xcode and Qt Installation</u><br>
+Xcode and Qt are required to compile BNC on OS X. Both tools are freely available. Xcode can be downloaded from the App Store or the Apple Developer Connection website. Once installed, run Xcode, go to 'Preferences->Downloads' and install the Command Line Tools component. Qt can be downloaded from the Qt Project website. We suggest installing version 4.8.4 or higher. The Qt libraries for Mac can be downloaded from <u>http://www.qt.io/download</u>. Once downloaded, mount the disk image, run the Qt.mpkg package and follow instructions from the installation wizard.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<u>Compiling BNC</u><br>
+The version of qmake supplied in the Qt binary package is configured to use the macx-xcode specification. This can be overridden with the '-spec macx-g++' option which makes it possible to use qmake to create a Makefile to be used by 'make'.
+</p>
+<p>
+From the directory where bnc.pro is located, run 'qmake' to create the Makefile and then 'make' to compile the binary.
+<pre>
+   qmake -spec macx-g++ bnc.pro
+   make
+</pre>
+Refer to the following webpage for further information: <u>http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qmake-platform-notes.html</u>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<u>Bundle Deployment</u><br>
+When distributing BNC it is necessary to bundle in all related Qt resources in the package. The Mac Deployment Tool has been designed to automate the process of creating a deployable application bundle that contains the Qt libraries as private frameworks. To use it, issue the following commands where bnc.app is located.
+<pre>
+   macdeployqt bnc.app -dmg
+</pre>
+Refer to the following webpage for further information: <u>http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html</u>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Once a DMG file for BNC is created, you can double click it and install BNC by dragging the 'bnc.app' icon to your 'Applications' folder. To start BNC, double click on '/Aplications/bnc.app'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>1.6 <a name="introConf">Configuration</h4></p>
+<p>
+As a default, configuration files for running BNC on Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems are saved in directory '${HOME}/.config/BKG'. On Windows systems, they are typically saved in directory 'C:/Documents and Settings/Username/.config/BKG'. The default configuration filename is 'BNC.bnc'.</p>
+<p>
+The default filename 'BNC.bnc' can be changed and the file content can easily be edited. On graphical user interfaces it is possible to Drag &amp; Drop a configuration file icon to start BNC (not on Mac OS X systems). It is also possible to start and configure BNC via command line. Some configuration options can be changed on-the-fly. See annexed 'Command Line Help' for a complete set of configuration options. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+BNC maintains configuration options at three different levels:
+</p>
+
+<ol type=b>
 <li>GUI, input fields level</li>
 <li>Active configuration level</li>
 <li>Configuration file, disk level</li>

+Configuration options are usually specified using GUI input fields (1) after launching BNC. When hitting the 'Start' button, configuration options are transferred one level down to become BNC's active configuration (2), allowing the program to begin its operation. Pushing the 'Stop' button ends data processing so that the user can finally terminate BNC through 'File'->'Quit'->'Save Options' which saves processing options in a configuration file to disk (3). It is important to understand that:
+<ul>
 <li>Active configuration options (2) are independent from GUI input fields and configuration file content.</li>
 <li>Hence changing configuration options at GUI level (1) while BNC is already processing data does not influence a running job.</li>

+</p>
+<ol type=b>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'RinexObs.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Convert RTCM streams to 
+RINEX Observation files. The configuration pulls streams from Ntrip 
+Broadcasters using Ntrip Version 1 to generate 15min 1Hz RINEX Version 3 
+Observation files. See <u>http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/observations</u> for observation 
+stream resources. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'RinexEph.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Convert a RTCM stream 
+with navigation messages to RINEX Navigation files. The configuration
+pulls a RTCM Version 3 stream with Broadcast Ephemeris coming from the 
+real-time EUREF and IGS networks and saves hourly RINEX Version 3 Navigation 
+files. See <u>http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/ephemeris</u> for further real-time 
+Broadcast Ephemeris resources. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'BrdcCorr.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Save Broadcast Corrections from RTCM 
+SSR messages in hourly plain ASCII files. See 
+<u>http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/orbits</u> for various real-time IGS or EUREF 
+orbit/clock correction products. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'RinexConcat.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Concatenate several RINEX Version 3 files to 
+produce one compiled file and edit the marker name in the file header. The 
+sampling interval is set to 30 seconds. See section 'RINEX Editing & QC' in the 
+documentation for examples on how to call BNC from command line in 'no window' 
+mode for RINEX file editing, concatenation and quality check. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'RinexQC.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Check the quality of a RINEX Version 3 
+file by means of a multipath analysis. Results are saved on disk in terms of a 
+plot in PNG format. See section 'RINEX Editing & QC' in the documentation for 
+examples on how to call BNC from command line in 'no window' mode for RINEX 
+file editing, concatenation and quality check. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'RTK.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Feed a serially connected receiver with 
+observations from a nearby reference station for conventional RTK. The stream is 
+scanned for RTCM messages. Message type numbers and latencies of incoming 
+observations are reported in BNC's logfile. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'FeedEngine.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Feed a real-time GNSS engine with 
+observations from remote reference stations. The configuration pulls a single 
+stream from an Ntrip Broadcaster. You could also pull 
+several streams from different casters. Incoming observations are decoded, 
+synchronized, output through a local IP port and also saved into a file. Failure 
+and recovery thresholds are specified to inform about outages. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'PPP.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Precise Point Positioning from 
+observations of a rover receiver. The configuration reads RTCM Version 3 
+observations, a Broadcast Ephemeris stream and a stream with Broadcast 
+Corrections. Positions are saved in the logfile. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'PPPNet.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Precise 
+Point Positioning for several rovers or receivers from an entire network of 
+reference stations in one BNC job. The possible maximum number of PPP solutions 
+per job depends on the processing power of the hosting computer. This example 
+configuration reads two RTCM Version 3 observation streams, a Broadcast 
+Ephemeris stream and a stream with Broadcast Corrections. PPP Results for the 
+two stations are saved in PPP logfiles. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'PPPQuickStart.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Precise Point Positioning in Quick-Start 
+mode from observations of a static receiver with precisely known position. The 
+configuration reads RTCM Version 3 observations, Broadcast Corrections and a 
+Broadcast Ephemeris stream. Positions are saved in NMEA format on disc. 
+They are also output through IP port for real-time visualization with tools 
+like RTKPLOT. Positions are saved in the logfile. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'PPPPostProc.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Precise Point Positioning in post 
+processing mode. BNC reads RINEX Version 3 Observation and Navigation files 
+and a Broadcast Correction file. PPP processing options are set to support 
+the Quick-Start mode. The output is saved in a specific post processing 
+logfile and contains coordinates derived over time following the 
+implemented PPP filter algorithm. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'PPPGoogleMaps.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Track BNC's point positioning
+solutions using Google Maps or OpenStreetMap as background. BNC reads a
+RINEX Observation file and a RINEX Navigation file to carry out a
+'Standard Point Positioning' solution in post processing mode. Although 
+this is not a real-time application, it requires the BNC host to be connected
+to the Internet. Specify a computation speed, then hit button 'Open Map'
+to open the track map, then hit 'Start' to visualize receiver positions
+on top of GM/OSM maps.
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'SPPQuickStartGal.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Single Point Positioning in Quick-Start mode from observations of a static 
+receiver with quite precisely known position.
+The configuration uses GPS, GLONASS and Galileo observations and a Broadcast 
+Ephemeris stream. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'SaveSp3.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Produces SP3 files from a Broadcast 
+Ephemeris stream and a Broadcast Correction stream. The Broadcast Correction 
+stream is formally introduced in BNC's 'Combine Corrections' table. Note that 
+producing SP3 requires an ANTEX file because SP3 file content should be 
+referred to CoM. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'Sp3ETRF2000PPP.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Produce SP3 files from a Broadcast 
+Ephemeris stream and a stream carrying ETRF2000 Broadcast Corrections. The 
+Broadcast Correction stream is formally introduced in BNC's 'Combine 
+Corrections' table. The configuration leads to a SP3 file containing orbits also referred 
+to ETRF2000. Pulling in addition observations from a reference station at 
+precisely known ETRF2000 position allows comparing an 'INTERNAL' PPP solution 
+with a known ETRF2000 reference coordinate. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'Upload.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Upload orbits and clocks from a 
+real-time GNSS engine to an Ntrip Broadcaster. For that the configuration reads 
+precise orbits and clocks in RTNET format. It also reads a stream carrying 
+Broadcast Ephemeris. BNC converts the orbits and clocks into Broadcast 
+Corrections and encodes them to RTCM Version 3 SSR messages to finally upload them to 
+an Ntrip Broadcaster. The Broadcast Correction stream is referred to satellite 
+Antenna Phase Center (APC) and reference system IGS08. Orbits are saved on disk 
+in SP3 format and clocks are saved in Clock RINEX format. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'Combi.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Pull several streams carrying Broadcast 
+Corrections and a Broadcast Ephemeris stream from an Ntrip Broadcaster to 
+produce a combined Broadcast Correction stream. BNC encodes the combination 
+product in RTCM Version 3 SSR messages and uploads that to an Ntrip 
+Broadcaster. The Broadcast Correction stream is referred to satellite Antenna Phase Center (APC) and not to satellite 
+Center of Mass (CoM). Its reference system is IGS08. Orbits are saved in SP3 
+format (referred to CoM) and clocks in Clock RINEX format. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'CombiPPP.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: This configuration equals the 'Combi.bnc' configuration. However, the combined 
+Broadcast Corrections are in addition used for an 'INTERNAL' PPP solution 
+based on observations from a static reference station with known precise 
+coordinates. This allows a continuous quality check of the combination product 
+through observing coordinate displacements. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'UploadEph.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Pull a number of streams from reference 
+stations to get hold of contained Broadcast Ephemeris messages. They are 
+encoded to RTCM Version 3 format and uploaded for the purpose of providing 
+a Broadcast Ephemeris stream with an update rate of 5 seconds. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'CompareSp3.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Compare two SP3 files to calculate 
+RMS values for orbit and clock differences. GPS satellite G05 and GLONASS 
+satellite R18 are excluded from this comparison. Comparison results are saved 
+in a logfile. 
+</li><br>
+
+<li>Configuration File 'Empty.bnc'<br>
+Purpose: Provide an empty example configuration file for
+BNC which only contains default settings.
+</li>

+<ul>
+<li>
+In Qt-based desktop environments (like KDE) on Unix/Linux platforms it may happen that you experience a crash of BNC at startup even when running the program in the background using the '-nw' option. This is a known bug most likely resulting from an incompatibility of Qt libraries in the environment and in BNC. Entering the command 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' before running BNC may help as a work-around.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+Using RTCM Version 3 to produce RINEX files, BNC will properly handle most message types. However, when handling message types 1001, 1003, 1009 and 1011 where the ambiguity field is not set, the output will be no valid RINEX. All values will be stored modulo 299792.458 (speed of light).
+</li>
+<li>
+Using RTCM Version 2, BNC will only handle message types 18 and 19 or 20 and 21 together with position and the antenna offset information carried in types 3 and 22. Note that processing carrier phase corrections and pseudo-range corrections contained in message types 20 and 21 needs access to Broadcast Ephemeris. Hence, whenever dealing with message types 20 and 21, make sure that Broadcast Ephemeris become available for BNC through also retrieving at least one RTCM Version 3 stream carrying message types 1019 (GPS ephemeris) and 1020 (GLONASS ephemeris).

+BNC's 'Get Table' function only shows the STR records of a source-table. You can use an Internet browser to download the full source-table content of any Ntrip Broadcaster by simply entering its URL in the form of <u>http://host:port</u>. Data field number 8 in the NET records may provide information about where to register for an Ntrip Broadcaster account.
+</li>
+<li>
+EUREF as well as IGS adhere to an open data policy. Streams are made available through Ntrip Broadcasters at <u>www.euref-ip.net</u>, <u>www.igs-ip.net</u>, <u>products.igs-ip.net</u>, and <u>mgex.igs-ip.net</u> free of charge to anyone for any purpose. There is no indication up until now how many users will need to be supported simultaneously. The given situation may develop in such a way that it might become difficult to serve all registered users at the same times. In cases where limited resources on the Ntrip Broadcaster side (software restrictions, bandwidth limitation etc.) dictates, first priority in stream provision will be given to stream providers followed by re-broadcasting activities and real-time analysis centers while access to others might be temporarily denied.
+</li>
+<li>
+Once BNC has been started, many of its configuration options cannot be changed as long as it is stopped. See chapter 'Reread Configuration' for on-the-fly configuration exceptions.

+
+<p><h4>1.8 <a name="introLBack">Looking Back</h4></p>
+<p>
+A basic function of BNC is streaming GNSS data over the open Internet using the Ntrip transport protocol. Employing IP streaming for satellite positioning goes back to the beginning of our century. Wolfgang Rupprecht has been the first person who developed TCP/IP server software under the acronym of DGPS-IP (Rupprecht 2000) and published it under GNU General Public License (GPL). While connecting marine beacon receivers to PCs with permanent access to the Internet he transmitted DGPS corrections in an RTCM format to support Differential GPS positioning over North America. With approximately 200 bits/sec the bandwidth requirement for disseminating beacon data was comparatively small. Each stream was transmitted over a unique combination of IP address and port. Websites informed about existing streams and corresponding receiver positions.
+</p>
+<p>
+To cope with an increasing number of transmitting GNSS reference stations, the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) together with the Informatik Centrum Dortmund (ICD) in Germany developed a streaming protocol for satellite navigation data called 'Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol' (Ntrip). The protocol was built on top of the HTTP standard and included the provision of meta data describing the stream content. Any stream could now be globally transmitted over just one IP port: HTTP port 80. Stream availability and content details became part of the transport protocol. The concept was first published in 2003 (Weber and Honkala 2004, Weber et al. 2005a) and was based on three software components, namely an NtripServer pushing data from a reference station to an NtripCaster and an NtripClient pulling data from the stream splitting caster to support a rover receiver. (Note that from a socket-programmers perspective NtripServer and NtripClient both act as clients; only the NtripCaster operates as socket-server.) Ntrip could essentially benefit from Internet Radio developments. It was the ICECAST multimedia server, which provided the bases for BKG's 'Professional Ntrip Broadcaster' with software published first in 2003 and of course again as Open Source under GPL.
+</p>
+<p>
+For BKG as a governmental agency, making Ntrip an Open Industry Standard has been an objective from the very beginning. The 'Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services' (RTCM) accepted 'Ntrip Version 1' in 2004 as 'RTCM Recommended Standard' (Weber et al. 2005b). Nowadays there is almost no geodetic GNSS receiver which does not come with integrated NtripClient and NtripServer functionality as part of the firmware. Hundreds of NtripCaster implementations are operated world-wide for highly accurate satellite navigation through RTK networks. Thousands of reference stations upload observations via NtripServer to central computing facilities for any kind of NtripClient application. In 2011 'Ntrip Version 2' was released (RTCM SC-104 2011) which cleared and fixed some design problems and HTTP protocol violations. It also supports TCP/IP via SSL and adds optional communication over RTSP/RTP and UDP.
+</p>
+<p>
+With the advent of Ntrip as an open streaming standard, BKG's interest turned towards taking advantage from free real-time access to GNSS observations. International Associations such as the IAG Reference Frame Sub Commissions for Africa (AFREF), Asia & Pacific (APREF), Europe (EUREF), North America (NAREF) Latin America & Caribbean (SIRGAS), and the International GNSS Service (IGS) maintain continental or even global GNSS networks with the majority of modern receivers supporting Ntrip stream upload. Through operating BKG's NtripCaster software, these networks became extremely valuable sources of real-time GNSS information.  In 2005, this was the starting point for developing the 'BKG Ntrip Client' (BNC) as a multi-stream Open Source NtripClient that allows pulling hundreds of streams simultaneously from any number of NtripCaster installations world-wide. Decoding incoming RTCM streams and output observations epoch by epoch via IP port to feed a real-time GNSS network engine became BNC's first and foremost ability (Weber and Mervart 2009). Converting decoded streams to short high-rate RINEX files to assist near real-time applications became a welcome by-product right from the start of this development.
+</p>
+<p>
+Adding real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) support to BNC began in 2010 as an important completion in view of developing an Open RTCM Standard for that. According to the State Space Representation (SSR) model, new Version 3 messages are proposed to provide e.g. satellite orbit and clock corrections and ionospheric corrections as well as biases for code and phase data. The ultimate goal for SSR standardization is to reach centimeter level accuracy within seconds as an alternative to Network RTK methods such as VRS, FKP, and MAC. Because of interoperability aspects, an Open Standard in this area is of particular interest for clients. Regarding stand-alone PPP in BNC, it is worth mentioning that the program is not and can never be in competition with a receiver manufacturer's proprietary solution. Only software or services that are part of a receiver firmware could have the potential of becoming a thread for commercial interests. However, implementing or not implementing an Open PPP approach in a firmware is and will always remain a manufacturer's decision.
+</p>
+<p>
+Implementing some post processing capability is essential for debugging real-time software in case of problems. So certain real-time options in BNC were complemented to work offline through reading data from files. Moreover, beginning in 2012, the software was extended to support Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS besides GPS and GLONASS. With that, the Open Source tool BNC could be used for RINEX Version 3 file editing, concatenation and quality checks, a post processing functionality demanded by the IGS Multi-GNSS Experiment and not really covered at that time by UNAVCO's famous TEQC program with its limitation on GPS.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Over the years, the BNC Subversion (SVN) software archive received over seven thousand commits made by 11 contributors representing about one hundred thirty thousand lines of code. The well-established, mature codebase is mostly written in C++ language. Its publication under GNU GPL is thought to be well-suited for test, validation and demonstration of new approaches in precise real-time satellite navigation when IP streaming is involved. Commissioned by a German governmental agency, the overall intention has been to push the development of RTCM Recommended Standards to the benefit of IAG institutions and services such as IGS and the interested public in general.
+</p>
+<p>
+In February 2014 the overall responsibility at BKG for the concept and realization of BNC was handed over from Georg Weber to Axel Rülke. He is in charge now for guiding the application and further evolution of the software in view of appearing new satellite navigation systems and services.
+</p>
+
+<p><h3>2. <a name="optsettings">Settings Details</h3></p>
+<p>
+The general documentation approach is to create a separate chapter for each processing option in a sequence which follows the layout of BNC's Graphical User Interface (GUI). The advantage is that searching for help by means of the document's Table of Contents (TOC) is quite convenient. A rather comprehensive number of TOC entries is the accepted downside of this approach.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following chapters describe how to set BNC program options. They explain the 'Top Menu Bar', the 'Settings Canvas' with the processing options, the content of the 'Streams Canvas' and 'Logging Canvas', and the 'Bottom Menu Bar'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.1 <a name="topmenu">Top Menu Bar</h4></p>
+<p>
+The top menu bar allows selecting a font for the BNC windows, save configured options, or quit the program execution. It also provides access to the program's documentation.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.1.1 <a name="file">File</h4></p>
+
+<p>
+The 'File' button lets you
+<ul>
+<li> Select an appropriate font.<br>
+Use smaller font size if the BNC main window exceeds the size of your screen.
+</li>
+<li> Reread and save selected options in configuration file.<br>
+When using 'Reread &amp; Save Configuration' while BNC is already processing data, some configuration options become immediately effective on-the-fly without interrupting uninvolved threads while all of them are saved on disk. See section 'Reread Configuration' for a list of on-the-fly changeable configuration options.
+</li>
+<li> Quit the BNC program.
+</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.1.2 <a name="help">Help</h4></p>
+
+<p>
+The 'Help' button provides access to
+<ul>
+<li>
+Help contents.<br>
+You may keep the 'Help Contents' window open while configuring BNC.
+</li>
+<li>
+A 'Flow Chart' showing BNC linked to a real-time GNSS network engine such as RTNET.

+</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.2 <a name="network">Network</h4></p>
+<p>
+You may need to specify a proxy when running BNC in a protected network. You may also like to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic protocols for secure Ntrip communication over the Internet.
+</p>
+<p><h4>2.2.1 <a name="proxy">Proxy - Usage in a protected LAN</h4></p>
+<p>
+If you are running BNC within a protected Local Area Network (LAN), you might need to use a proxy server to access the Internet. Enter your proxy server IP and port number in case one is operated in front of BNC. If you do not know the IP and port of your proxy server, check the proxy server settings in your Internet browser or ask your network administrator.</p>
+<p>
+Note that IP streaming is often not allowed in a LAN. In this case you need to ask your network administrator for an appropriate modification of the local security policy or for the installation of a TCP relay to the Ntrip Broadcaster you need to access. If this is not possible, you might need to run BNC outside your LAN on a host that has unobstructed connection to the Internet.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.2.2 <a name="ssl">SSL - Transport Layer Security</h4></p>
+<p>Communication with an Ntrip Broadcaster over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as well as the download of RINEX skeleton files when available from HTTPS websites requires the exchange of client and/or server certificates. Specify the path to a directory where you save certificates on your system. You may like to check out <u>http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/wiki/Certificates</u> for a list of known Ntrip Server certificates. You may also just try communication via SSL to check out whether this is supported by the involved Ntrip Broadcaster. </p>
+<p>SSL communication may involve queries coming from the Ntrip Broadcaster or from a HTTPS website hosting RINEX skeletons. Such a query could show up under BNC's 'Log' tab especially when self-signed SSL certificates are used. Example:
+<pre>
+   SSL Error
+   Server Certificate Issued by:
+   GNSS Data Center
+   BKG (Bundesamt f&uuml;r Geod&auml;sie und Kartographie)
+   Cannot be verified
+
+   The issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found
+   The root CA certificate is not trusted for this purpose
+   No certificates could be verified
+</pre>
+Queries should not be received by a client when a server uses official SSL certificates.
+</p>
+<p>
+Tick 'Ignore SSL authorization errors' if you generally trust the server and do not want to be bothered with this. Note that SSL communication is usually done over port 443.
+</p>

+
+<p><h4>2.3 <a name="general">General</h4></p>
+<p>
+The following defines general settings for BNC's logfile, file handling, reconfiguration on-the-fly, and auto-start.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.3.1 <a name="genlog">Logfile - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Records of BNC's activities are shown in the 'Log' tab on the bottom of the main window. These logs can be saved into a file when a valid path is specified in the 'Logfile (full path)' field. The logfile name will automatically be extended by a string '_YYMMDD' for the current date. This leads to series of daily logfiles when running BNC continuously. Message logs cover the communication status between BNC and the Ntrip Broadcaster as well as problems that may occur in the communication link, stream availability, stream delay, stream conversion etc. All times are given in UTC. The default value for 'Logfile (full path)' is an empty option field, meaning that BNC logs will not be saved into a file.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following is an example for the content of a logfile written by BNC when operated in Single Point Positioning (SPP) mode:

+
+<p><h4>2.3.2 <a name="genapp">Append Files - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+When BNC is started, new files are created by default and existing files with the same name will be overwritten. However, users might want to append existing files following a restart of BNC, a system crash or a BNC crash. Tick 'Append files' to continue with existing files and keep what has been recorded so far. Note that option 'Append files' affects all types of files created by BNC.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.3.3 <a name="genconf">Reread Configuration - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+When operating BNC online in 'no window' mode (command line option -nw), some configuration options can nevertheless be changed on-the-fly without interrupting the running process. For that, you force the program to reread parts of its configuration in pre-defined intervals from disk. Select '1 min', '1 hour', or '1 day' to let BNC reread on-the-fly changeable configuration options every full minute, hour, or day. This lets in-between edited options become effective without interrupting uninvolved threads. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that following configuration options saved on disk can be changed/edited on-the-fly while BNC is already processing data:
+</p>
+<p>
+<ul>
+<li>'mountPoints' to change the selection of streams to be processed, see section 'Streams';</li>
+<li>'outWait' to change the 'Wait for full obs epoch' option, see section 'Feed Engine';</li>
+<li>'outSampl' to change the 'Sampling' option, see section 'Feed Engine';</li>
+<li>'outFile' to change the 'File' name where synchronized observations are saved in plain ASCII format.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.3.4 <a name="genstart">Auto Start - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+You may like to auto-start BNC at startup time in window mode with pre-assigned configuration options. This may be required e.g. immediately after booting your system. Tick 'Auto start' to supersede the usage of the 'Start' button. Make sure that you maintain a link to BNC for that in your Autostart directory (Windows systems) or call BNC in a script below directory /etc/init.d (Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems).
+</p>
+<p>
+See BNC's command line option '-nw' for an auto-start of BNC in 'no window' mode.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.3.5 <a name="rawout">Raw Output File - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC can save all data coming in through various streams in one daily file. The information is recorded in the specified 'Raw output file' in the received order and format. This feature allows a BNC user to run the PPP option offline with observations, Broadcast Corrections, and Broadcast Ephemeris being read from a previously saved file. It supports the offline repetition of a real-time situation for debugging purposes (Record &amp; Replay functionality) and is not meant for post processing.
+</p>
+<p>
+Data will be saved in blocks in the received format separated by ASCII time stamps like (example):
+<pre>
+   2010-08-03T18:05:28 RTCM3EPH RTCM_3 67
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+This example block header tells you that 67 bytes were saved in the data block following this time stamp. The information in this block is encoded in RTCM Version 3 format, comes from mountpoint RTCM3EPH and was received at 18:05:28 UTC on 2010-08-03. BNC adds its own time stamps in order to allow the reconstruction of a recorded real-time situation.
+</p>
+<p>
+The default value for 'Raw output file' is an empty option field, meaning that BNC will not save all raw data into one single daily file.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4 <a name="rinex">RINEX Observations</h4></p>
+<p>
+Observations will be converted to RINEX if they come in either RTCM Version 2 or RTCM Version 3 format. Depending on the RINEX version and incoming RTCM message types, files generated by BNC may contain data from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, SBAS, QZSS, and/or BDS (BeiDou). In case an observation type is listed in the RINEX header but the corresponding observation is unavailable, its value is set to zero '0.000' or left blank. Note that the 'RINEX TYPE' field in the RINEX Version 3 Observation file header is always set to 'M(MIXED)' or 'Mixed' even if the file only contains data from one system.
+</p>
+<p>
+It is important to understand that converting RTCM streams to RINEX files requires a priori information on observation types for specifying a complete RINEX header. Regarding the RINEX Version 2 file header, BNC simply introduces all observation types defined in the Version 2 standard and later reports "0.000" for observations which are not received. However, following this approach is not possible for RINEX Version 3 files from RTCM Version 3 MSM streams because of the huge number of observation types, which might in principle show up. The solution implemented in BNC is to start with RINEX Version 3 observation type records from skeleton files (see section 'Skeleton Extension' and 'Skeleton Mandatory') and switch to a default selection of observation types when such file is not available or does not contain the required information. The following is the default selection of observation types specified for a RINEX Version 3 file:

+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Please note that RTCM Version 3 messages 1084 for GLONASS observations do not contain the GLONASS channel numbers. These observation messages can only be converted to RINEX when you add messages which include the channel numbers. This could be done by means of an additional stream carrying 1087 GLONASS observation messages or an additional stream carrying 1020 GLONASS ephemeris messages. You could also consider setting up a stream which contains both, the 1084 and the 1020 messages.
+</p>
+<p>
+The screenshot below shows an example setup of BNC when converting streams to RINEX. Streams are coming from various Ntrip Broadcasters as well as from a serial communication link. Specifying a decoder string 'ZERO' would mean to not convert the affected stream but save its content as received. The 'SSL Error' recorded in the 'Log' tab is caused by the fact that observation stream downloads from IGS and MGEX Broadcasters initiate the download of RINEX skeleton files from a HTTPS (TLS/SSL) website and BNC has been configured in this example to ignore SSL errors as shown in the preceding 'Network' panel screenshot.

+
+<p><h4>2.4.1 <a name="rnxname">RINEX Filenames</h4></p>
+<p>
+The default for RINEX filenames in BNC follows the convention of RINEX Version 2. However, the software provides options to alternatively follow the filename convention of RINEX Version 3. RINEX Version 2 filenames are derived by BNC from the first 4 characters of the corresponding stream's mountpoint (4-Char Station ID). For example, data from mountpoints FRANKFURT and WETTZELL will have hourly RINEX Observation files named</p>
+
+<pre>
+   FRAN{ddd}{h}.{yy}O
+   WETT{ddd}{h}.{yy}O
+</pre>
+<p>
+where 'ddd' is the day of year, 'h' is a letter which corresponds to an hour long UTC time block and 'yy' is the year.
+</p>
+<p>
+If there is more than one stream with identical 4-Char Station ID (same first 4 characters for their mountpoints), the mountpoint strings are split into two sub-strings and both become part of the RINEX filename. For example, when simultaneously retrieving data from mountpoints FRANKFURT and FRANCE, their hourly RINEX Version 2 Observation files are named as</p>
+<pre>
+   FRAN{ddd}{h}_KFURT.{yy}O
+   FRAN{ddd}{h}_CE.{yy}O
+</pre>
+<p>
+If several streams show up with exactly the same mountpoint name (example: BRUS0 from <u>www.euref-ip.net</u> and BRUS0 from <u>www.igs-ip.net</u>), BNC adds an integer number to the filename, leading e.g. to hourly RINEX Version 2 Observation files like</p>
+<pre>
+   BRUS{ddd}{h}_0.{yy}O
+   BRUS{ddd}{h}_1.{yy}O
+</pre>
+<p>
+Note that RINEX Version 2 filenames for all intervals less than 1 hour follow the filename convention for 15 minutes RINEX Version 2 Observation files e.g.</p>
+<pre>
+   FRAN{ddd}{h}{mm}.{yy}O
+</pre>
+<p>
+where 'mm' is the starting minute within the hour.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In case of RINEX Version 3 filenames, the following convention holds:
+
+<p>
+<table>
+<tr><td><b>Filename Parameter&nbsp; &nbsp;</b></td><td><b>&nbsp;# Char.</b></td><td><b>&nbsp; Meaning</b></td></tr>
+<tr><td>Name</td><td>&nbsp; 9</td><td>&nbsp; Site, station and country code</td></tr>
+<tr><td>S</td><td>&nbsp; 1</td><td>&nbsp; Data source</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Start Time</td><td>&nbsp; 11</td><td>&nbsp; YYYYDDDHHMM</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Period</td><td>&nbsp; 3</td><td>&nbsp; File period</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Obs. Freq.</td><td>&nbsp; 3</td><td>&nbsp; Observation frequency</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Content</td><td>&nbsp; 2</td><td>&nbsp; Content type</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Format</td><td>&nbsp; 3</td><td>&nbsp; File format</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Compression</td><td>&nbsp; 2-3</td><td>&nbsp; Compression method (optional)</td></tr>
+</table>
+</p>
+<p>
+Example for Mixed RINEX Version 3 GNSS observation filename, file containing 1 hour of data, one observation every second, 'MO' standing for 'Mixed Observations':
+<pre>
+   ALGO00CAN_R_20121601000_01H_01S_MO.rnx
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that filename details are produced from the stream's mountpoint as well as corresponding BNC settings and meta data from the Ntrip Broadcaster source-table.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.2 <a name="rnxdir">Directory - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Here you can specify the path to where the RINEX Observation files will be stored. If the specified directory does not exist, BNC will not create RINEX Observation files. Default value for 'Directory' is an empty option field, meaning that no RINEX Observation files will be written.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.3 <a name="rnxinterval">File Interval - mandatory if 'Directory' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the length of the RINEX Observation file to be generated. The default value is 15 minutes.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.4 <a name="rnxsample">Sampling - mandatory if 'Directory' is set </h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the RINEX Observation sampling interval in seconds. A value of zero '0' tells BNC to store all received epochs into RINEX. This is the default value.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.5 <a name="rnxskl">Skeleton Extension - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Whenever BNC starts to generate RINEX Observation files (and then once every day at midnight), it first tries to retrieve information needed for RINEX headers from so-called public RINEX header skeleton files which are derived from sitelogs. An HTTP or HTTPS link to a directory containing these skeleton files may be available through data field number 7 of the affected NET record in the source-table. See <u>http://www.epncb.oma.be:80/stations/log/skl/brus.skl</u> for an example of a public RINEX header skeleton file for EPN station Brussels. Note that the download of RINEX skeleton files from HTTPS websites requires the exchange of client and/or server certificates. Clarify 'SSL' options offered through panel 'Network' for details.
+</p>
+<p>
+Sometimes public RINEX header skeleton files are not available, their content is not up to date, or you need to put additional/optional records in the RINEX header. For that, BNC allows using personal skeleton files that contain the header records you would like to include. You can derive a personal RINEX header skeleton file from the information given in an up to date sitelog. A file in the RINEX Observations 'Directory' with a 'Skeleton extension' suffix is interpreted by BNC as a personal RINEX header skeleton file for the corresponding stream.
+</p>
+<p>
+When producing RINEX Observation files from mountpoints (examples) 'BRUS0', 'FRANKFURT', and 'WETTZELL', the following skeleton filenames would be accepted
+</p>
+<pre>
+   BRUS.skl
+   FRAN.skl
+   WETT.skl
+</pre>
+<p>
+if 'Skeleton extension' is set to 'skl'.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note the following regulations regarding personal RINEX header skeleton files:
+<ul>
+<li>If such a file exists in the 'RINEX directory', the corresponding public RINEX header skeleton file is ignored. The RINEX header is generated solely from the content of the personal skeleton.</li>
+<li>Personal skeletons should contain a complete first header record of type
+<br>- &nbsp; RINEX VERSION / TYPE<br></li>
+<li>They should then contain an empty header record of type
+<br>- &nbsp; PGM / RUN BY / DATE<br>
+BNC will complete this line and include it in the RINEX file header.</li>
+<li>They should further contain complete header records of type
+<br>- &nbsp; MARKER NAME
+<br>- &nbsp; OBSERVER / AGENCY
+<br>- &nbsp; REC # / TYPE / VERS
+<br>- &nbsp; ANT # / TYPE
+<br>- &nbsp; APPROX POSITION XYZ
+<br>- &nbsp; ANTENNA: DELTA H/E/N
+<br>- &nbsp; WAVELENGTH FACT L1/2 (RINEX Version 2)
+<br>- &nbsp; SYS / # / OBS TYPES (for RINEX Version 3 files, will be ignored in Version 2 files)</li>
+<li>They may contain any other optional complete header record as defined in the RINEX documentation.</li>
+<li>They should also contain an empty header record of type
+<br>- &nbsp; # / TYPES OF OBSERV (only RINEX Version 2, will be ignored when in Version 3 files)
+<br>BNC will include these lines in the final RINEX file header together with an additional
+<br>- &nbsp; COMMENT
+<br>line describing the source of the stream.</li>
+<li>They should finally contain an empty last header record of type
+<br>- &nbsp; END OF HEADER</li>
+
+<li>They must not contain a header record of type
+<br>- &nbsp; TIME OF FIRST OBS</li>
+
+</ul>
+<p>
+If neither a public nor a personal RINEX header skeleton file is available for BNC, a default header will be used.

+<p><h4>2.4.6 <a name="sklMandat">Skeleton Mandatory - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Tick check box 'Skeleton mandatory' in case you want that RINEX files are only produced when skeleton files are available for BNC. If no skeleton file is available for a particular source, then no RINEX observation file will be produced from the affected stream.
+</p>
+<p>Note that a skeleton file contains RINEX header information such as receiver and antenna types. In case of stream conversion to RINEX Version 3, a skeleton file should also contain information on potentially available observation types. A missing skeleton file will force BNC to only save a default set of RINEX 3 observation types.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.7 <a name="rnxscript">Script - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Whenever a RINEX Observation file is saved, you might want to compress, copy or upload it immediately via FTP. BNC allows you to execute a script/batch file to carry out these operations. To do that, specify the full path to such script/batch file. BNC will pass the RINEX Observation file path to the script as a command line parameter (%1 on Windows systems, $1 on Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems).
+</p>
+<p>
+The triggering event for calling the script or batch file is the end of a RINEX Observation file 'Interval'. If that is overridden by a stream outage, the triggering event is the stream reconnection.
+</p>
+<p>
+As an alternative to initiating file uploads through BNC, you may like to call an upload script or batch file through your crontable or Task Scheduler (independent from BNC) once every one or two minutes after the end of each RINEX file 'Interval'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.4.8 <a name="rnxvers2">Version 2 - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+GNSS observation data are generally hold available within BNC according to attributes as defined in RINEX Version 3. These attributes describe the tracking mode or channel when generating the observation signals. Capital letters specifying signal generation attributes are A, B, C, D, I, L, M, N, P, Q, S, W, X, Y, and Z, see RINEX Version 3 documentation. Although RINEX Version 3 with its signal generation attributes is the internal default processing format for BNC, there are two applications where the program is explicitly required to produce data files in RINEX Version 2 format:

No configuration file is used. Examples are provided as shell scripts for a Linux system. They call BNC in &#8216;no window&#8217; batch mode (command line option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-nw</span></code>). The scripts expect &#8216;Example_Configs&#8217; to be the current working directory.</p>

-<h3>Command Line configuration options overwriting Configuration File options<a class="headerlink" href="#command-line-configuration-options-overwriting-configuration-file-options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>For specific applications you may like to use your own set of standard configuration options from a configuration file and update some of its content via command line. When using a configuration file together with command line configuration options in one BNC call, the command line configuration options will always overrule options contained in the configuration file:</p>
-<p>Shell script <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CompareSp3.sh</span></code>.</p>
-<p>Purpose: Equals configuration file example <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CompareSp3.bnc</span></code>, compares two SP3 files to calculate RMS values for orbit and clock differences. However, instead of excluding GPS satellite G05 and GLONASS satellite R18 from the comparison as specified in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CompareSp3.bnc</span></code>, GPS satellite G06 and all GLONASS satellites are excluded via command line option. BNC runs offline. Comparison results are saved in a logfile.</p>

-<p>You may need to specify a proxy when running BNC in a protected network. You may also like to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic protocols for secure Ntrip communication over the Internet.</p>
-<div class="section" id="proxy-usage-in-a-protected-lan">
-<span id="index-3"></span><h4>Proxy - Usage in a protected LAN<a class="headerlink" href="#proxy-usage-in-a-protected-lan" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>If you are running BNC within a protected Local Area Network (LAN), you might need to use a proxy server to access the Internet. Enter your proxy server IP and port number in case one is operated in front of BNC. If you do not know the IP and port of your proxy server, check the proxy server settings in your Internet browser or ask your network administrator.</p>
-<p>Note that IP streaming is often not allowed in a LAN. In this case you need to ask your network administrator for an appropriate modification of the local security policy or for the installation of a TCP relay to the Ntrip Broadcaster you need to access. If this is not possible, you might need to run BNC outside your LAN on a host that has unobstructed connection to the Internet.</p>

-<p>Communication with an Ntrip Broadcaster over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as well as the download of RINEX skeleton files when available from HTTPS websites requires the exchange of client and/or server certificates. Specify the path to a directory where you save certificates on your system. You may like to check out <a class="reference external" href="http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/wiki/Certificates">http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/wiki/Certificates</a> for a list of known Ntrip Server certificates. You may also just try communication via SSL to check out whether this is supported by the involved Ntrip Broadcaster.</p>
-<p>SSL communication may involve queries coming from the Ntrip Broadcaster or from a HTTPS website hosting RINEX skeletons. Such a query could show up under BNC&#8217;s &#8216;Log&#8217; tab especially when self-signed SSL certificates are used. Example:</p>

-<p>BNC can save all data coming in through various streams in one daily file. The information is recorded in the specified &#8216;Raw output file&#8217; in the received order and format. This feature allows a BNC user to run the PPP option offline with observations, Broadcast Corrections, and Broadcast Ephemeris being read from a previously saved file. It supports the offline repetition of a real-time situation for debugging purposes (Record &amp; Replay functionality) and is not meant for post processing.</p>
-<p>Data will be saved in blocks in the received format separated by ASCII time stamps like (example):</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">2010-08-03T18:05:28 RTCM3EPH RTCM_3 67</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>This example block header tells you that 67 bytes were saved in the data block following this time stamp. The information in this block is encoded in RTCM Version 3 format, comes from mountpoint RTCM3EPH and was received at 18:05:28 UTC on 2010-08-03. BNC adds its own time stamps in order to allow the reconstruction of a recorded real-time situation.</p>
-<p>The default value for &#8216;Raw output file&#8217; is an empty option field, meaning that BNC will not save all raw data into one single daily file.</p>

-<div class="section" id="rinex-observations">
-<span id="index-9"></span><h3>RINEX Observations<a class="headerlink" href="#rinex-observations" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
-<p>Observations will be converted to RINEX if they come in either RTCM Version 2 or RTCM Version 3 format. Depending on the RINEX version and incoming RTCM message types, files generated by BNC may contain data from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, SBAS, QZSS, and/or BDS (BeiDou). In case an observation type is listed in the RINEX header but the corresponding observation is unavailable, its value is set to zero &#8216;0.000&#8217; or left blank. Note that the &#8216;RINEX TYPE&#8217; field in the RINEX Version 3 Observation file header is always set to &#8216;M(MIXED)&#8217; or &#8216;Mixed&#8217; even if the file only contains data from one system.</p>
-<p>It is important to understand that converting RTCM streams to RINEX files requires a priori information on observation types for specifying a complete RINEX header. Regarding the RINEX Version 2 file header, BNC simply introduces all observation types defined in the Version 2 standard and later reports &#8216;0.000&#8217; for observations which are not received. However, following this approach is not possible for RINEX Version 3 files from RTCM Version 3 MSM streams because of the huge number of observation types, which might in principle show up. The solution implemented in BNC is to start with RINEX Version 3 observation type records from skeleton files (see section &#8216;Skeleton Extension&#8217; and &#8216;Skeleton Mandatory&#8217;) and switch to a default selection of observation types when such file is not available or does not contain the required information. The following is the default selection of observation types specified for a RINEX Version 3 file:</p>

-<p>Please note that RTCM Version 3 messages 1084 for GLONASS observations do not contain the GLONASS channel numbers. These observation messages can only be converted to RINEX when you add messages which include the channel numbers. This could be done by means of an additional stream carrying 1087 GLONASS observation messages or an additional stream carrying 1020 GLONASS ephemeris messages. You could also consider setting up a stream which contains both, the 1084 and the 1020 messages.</p>
-<p>The screenshot below shows an example setup of BNC when converting streams to RINEX. Streams are coming from various Ntrip Broadcasters as well as from a serial communication link. Specifying a decoder string &#8216;ZERO&#8217; would mean to not convert the affected stream but save its content as received. The &#8216;SSL Error&#8217; recorded in the &#8216;Log&#8217; tab is caused by the fact that observation stream downloads from IGS and MGEX Broadcasters initiate the download of RINEX skeleton files from a HTTPS (TLS/SSL) website and BNC has been configured in this example to ignore SSL errors as shown in the preceding &#8216;Network&#8217; panel screenshot <a class="reference internal" href="#fig-8"><span class="std std-numref">(Fig. 9)</span></a>.</p>

-<p>The default for RINEX filenames in BNC follows the convention of RINEX Version 2. However, the software provides options to alternatively follow the filename convention of RINEX Version 3. RINEX Version 2 filenames are derived by BNC from the first 4 characters of the corresponding stream&#8217;s mountpoint (4-character Station ID). For example, data from mountpoints FRANKFURT and WETTZELL will have hourly RINEX Observation files named:</p>
-<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">FRAN</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-<span class="n">WETT</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>where &#8216;ddd&#8217; is the day of year, &#8216;h&#8217; is a letter which corresponds to an hour long UTC time block and &#8216;yy&#8217; is the year.</p>
-<p>If there is more than one stream with identical 4-character Station ID (same first 4 characters for their mountpoints), the mountpoint strings are split into two sub-strings and both become part of the RINEX filename. For example, when simultaneously retrieving data from mountpoints FRANKFURT and FRANCE, their hourly RINEX Version 2 Observation files are named as:</p>
-<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">FRAN</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">_KFURT</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-<span class="n">FRAN</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">_CE</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>If several streams show up with exactly the same mountpoint name (example: BRUS0 from www.euref-ip.net and BRUS0 from www.igs-ip.net), BNC adds an integer number to the filename, leading e.g. to hourly RINEX Version 2 Observation files like:</p>
-<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">BRUS</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">_0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-<span class="n">BRUS</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">_1</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>Note that RINEX Version 2 filenames for all intervals less than 1 hour follow the filename convention for 15 minutes RINEX Version 2 Observation files e.g.:</p>
-<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">FRAN</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">ddd</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">h</span><span class="p">}{</span><span class="n">mm</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="p">{</span><span class="n">yy</span><span class="p">}</span><span class="n">O</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>where &#8216;mm&#8217; is the starting minute within the hour.</p>

-<p>Whenever BNC starts to generate RINEX Observation files (and then once every day at midnight), it first tries to retrieve information needed for RINEX headers from so-called fully machine-readable public RINEX header skeleton files which are derived from sitelogs. An HTTP or HTTPS link to a directory containing these skeleton files may be available through data field number 7 of the affected NET record in the source-table. See <a class="reference external" href="http://www.epncb.oma.be:80/stations/log/skl/brus.skl">http://www.epncb.oma.be:80/stations/log/skl/brus.skl</a> for an example of a public RINEX header skeleton file for EPN station Brussels. Note that the download of RINEX skeleton files from HTTPS websites requires the exchange of client and/or server certificates. Clarify &#8216;SSL&#8217; options offered through panel &#8216;Network&#8217; for details.</p>
-<p>Sometimes public RINEX header skeleton files are not available, their content is not up to date, or you need to put additional/optional records in the RINEX header. For that, BNC allows using personal skeleton files that contain the header records you would like to include. You can derive a personal RINEX header skeleton file from the information given in an up to date sitelog. A file in the RINEX Observations &#8216;Directory&#8217; with a &#8216;Skeleton extension&#8217; suffix is interpreted by BNC as a personal RINEX header skeleton file for the corresponding stream.</p>
-<p>When producing RINEX Observation files from mountpoints (examples) &#8216;BRUS0&#8217;, &#8216;FRANKFURT&#8217;, and &#8216;WETTZELL&#8217;, the following skeleton filenames would be accepted:</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">brus.skl</span>
-<span class="go">fran.skl</span>
-<span class="go">wett.skl</span>

-<p>if &#8216;Skeleton extension&#8217; is set to &#8216;skl&#8217;.</p>
-<p>Note the following regulations regarding personal RINEX header skeleton files:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>If such a file exists in the &#8216;RINEX directory&#8217;, the corresponding public RINEX header skeleton file is ignored. The RINEX header is generated solely from the content of the personal skeleton.</li>

-<p>Tick check box &#8216;Skeleton mandatory&#8217; in case you want that RINEX files are only produced when skeleton files are available for BNC. If no skeleton file is available for a particular source, then no RINEX observation file will be produced from the affected stream.</p>
-<p>Note that a skeleton file contains RINEX header information such as receiver and antenna types. In case of stream conversion to RINEX Version 3, a skeleton file should also contain information on potentially available observation types. A missing skeleton file will force BNC to only save a default set of RINEX 3 observation types.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="section" id="script-optional">
-<h4>Script - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#script-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>Whenever a RINEX Observation file is saved, you might want to compress, copy or upload it immediately via FTP. BNC allows you to execute a script/batch file to carry out these operations. To do that, specify the full path to such script/batch file. BNC will pass the RINEX Observation file path to the script as a command line parameter (%1 on Windows systems, $1 on Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems).</p>
-<p>The triggering event for calling the script or batch file is the end of a RINEX Observation file &#8216;Interval&#8217;. If that is overridden by a stream outage, the triggering event is the stream reconnection.</p>
-<p>As an alternative to initiating file uploads through BNC, you may like to call an upload script or batch file through your crontable or Task Scheduler (independent from BNC) once every one or two minutes after the end of each RINEX file &#8216;Interval&#8217;.</p>

-<div class="section" id="version-2-optional">
-<h4>Version 2 - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#version-2-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>GNSS observation data are generally hold available within BNC according to attributes as defined in RINEX Version 3. These attributes describe the tracking mode or channel when generating the observation signals. Capital letters specifying signal generation attributes are A, B, C, D, I, L, M, N, P, Q, S, W, X, Y, and Z, see RINEX Version 3 documentation. Although RINEX Version 3 with its signal generation attributes is the internal default processing format for BNC, there are two applications where the program is explicitly required to produce data files in RINEX Version 2 format:</p>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>When saving the content of incoming observation streams in RINEX Version 2 files as described in this section.</li>
-<li>When editing or concatenating RINEX 3 files to save them in Version 2 format, see section on &#8216;RINEX Editing &amp; QC&#8217;.</li>
-</ol>
-<p>As the Version 2 format ignores signal generation attributes, BNC is forced to somehow map RINEX Version 3 to RINEX Version 2 although this cannot be done in one-to-one correspondence. Hence we introduce a &#8216;Signal priority&#8217; list of attributes (characters, forming a string) for mapping Version 3 to Version 2.</p>
-<p>Signal priorities can be specified as equal for all systems, as system specific or as system and frequency specific. For example:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>&#8216;<a href="#id72"><span class="problematic" id="id73">CWPX_</span></a>?&#8217; (General signal priorities valid for all GNSS)</li>
-<li>&#8216;C:IQX I:ABCX&#8217; (System specific signal priorities for BDS and IRNSS)</li>
-<li>&#8216;G:12&amp;PWCSLXYN G:5&amp;IQX R:12&amp;PC R:3&amp;IQX&#8217; (System and frequency specific signal priorities)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The default &#8216;Signal priority&#8217; list is defined as follows: &#8216;G:12&amp;PWCSLXYN G:5&amp;IQX R:12&amp;PC R:3&amp;IQX E:16&amp;BCX E:578&amp;IQX J:1&amp;SLXCZ J:26&amp;SLX J:5&amp;IQX C:IQX I:ABCX S:1&amp;C S:5&amp;IQX&#8217;</p>
-<p>As an example the &#8216;Signal priority&#8217; of &#8216;<a href="#id74"><span class="problematic" id="id75">CWPX_</span></a>?&#8217; is explained in more detail:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>Signals with attribute &#8216;C&#8217; enjoy the highest priority. If such a Version 3 observation becomes available, it is presented as RINEX Version 2 observation if that is the format you wish to see. Observations with other attributes are being ignored.</li>

+As the Version 2 format ignores signal generation attributes, BNC is forced to somehow map RINEX Version 3 to RINEX Version 2 although this cannot be done in one-to-one correspondence. Hence we introduce a 'Signal priority' list of attributes (characters, forming a string) for mapping Version 3 to Version 2.
+</p>
+<p>
+Signal priorities can be specified as equal for all systems, as system specific or as system and frequency specific. For example:</li>
+<ul>
+<li>'CWPX_?' (General signal priorities valid for all GNSS)</li>
+<li>'C:IQX I:ABCX' (System specific signal priorities for BDS and IRNSS)</li>
+<li>'G:12&PWCSLXYN G:5&IQX R:12&PC R:3&IQX' (System and frequency specific signal priorities)</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+The default 'Signal priority' list is defined as follows: 
+<ul>
+ <li>'G:12&PWCSLXYN G:5&IQX R:12&PC R:3&IQX E:16&BCX E:578&IQX J:1&SLXCZ J:26&SLX J:5&IQX C:IQX I:ABCX S:1&C S:5&IQX'</li>
+</ul>
+
+As an example the 'Signal priority' of 'CWPX_?' is explained in more detail: 
+<ul>
+<li>Signals with attribute 'C' enjoy the highest priority. If such a Version 3 observation becomes available, it is presented as RINEX Version 2 observation if that is the format you wish to see. Observations with other attributes are being ignored.</li>
+<li>If no signal with 'C' attribute is available but we have an observation with 'W' attribute, BNC presents that one as RINEX Version 2 observation and ignores all observations with other attributes. The same applies mutatis mutandis to observations with P and X attributes.</li>
+<li>If no signal with 'C', 'W', 'P', or 'X' attribute is available but a signal with undefined generation attribute (underscore character, '_') exists, BNC presents that one as RINEX Version 2 observation. Note that observation attributes should actually always be available in RINEX Version 3. Hence the underscore character makes only sense in a few very special cases.</li>
+<li>If no signal with 'C', 'W', 'P', 'X', or '_' generation attribute exists then the question mark '?' tells BNC to present the first of any other appearing signal as RINEX Version 2 observation.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You may like to specify your own 'Signal priority' string(s) for producing RINEX Version 2 files. If you neither convert observation streams to RINEX Version 2 nor concatenate RINEX Version 3 to Version 2 files, then the 'Version 2' option is meaningless.

+</p>
+<p>
+When specifying several input files, BNC will concatenate their contents. In case of RINEX Observation input files with different observation type header records, BNC will output only one set of adjusted observation type records in the RINEX header which fits to the whole file content.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that you may specify several RINEX Version 2 Navigation files for GPS and GLONASS.

+
+<p><h4>2.6.3 <a name="reqcout">Output Files - optional if 'Action' is set to 'Edit/Concatenate'</h4></p>
+<p>
+If 'Edit/Concatenate' is selected, specifying the full path to output RINEX Observation file(s) and specifying the full path to output RINEX Navigation file(s) is optional. Default are empty option fields, meaning that no RINEX files will be saved on disk.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.6.4 <a name="reqclog">Logfile - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Specify the name of a logfile to save information on RINEX file Editing/Concatenation or Analysis. Default is an empty option field, meaning that no logfile will be saved.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that logfiles from analyzing RINEX files may become quite large. Hence, BNC provides an option 'Summary only' to limit logfile content to some essential information in case 'Action' is set to 'Analyze'. The following is an example for a RINEX quality check analysis logfile:

+<p>
+Multipath and signal-to-noise sky plots as well as plots for satellite availability, elevation and PDOP are produced per GNSS system and frequency with the multipath analysis based on CnC observation types (n = band / frequency). The 'Plots for signals' option lets you exactly specify the observation signals to be used for that and also enables the plot production. You can specify the navigation system (C = BDS, E = Galileo, G = GPS, J = QZSS, R = GLONASS, S = SBAS), the frequency, and the tracking mode or channel as defined in RINEX Version 3. Specifications for frequency and tracking mode or channel must be separated by ampersand character '&'. Specifications for each navigation systems must be separated by blank character ' '. The following string is an example for option field 'Plots of signals':

-<p>A note on converting RINEX Version 3 to RINEX Version 2 and vice versa:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><p class="first">The RINEX Version 2 format ignores signal generation attributes. Therefore, when converting RINEX Version 3 to Version 2 Observation files, BNC is forced to somehow map signals with attributes to signals without attributes although this cannot be done in one-to-one correspondence. Hence we introduce a &#8216;Version 2 Signal Priority&#8217; list of attributes (characters, forming a string) for mapping Version 3 to Version 2, see details in section &#8216;RINEX Observations/Version 2&#8217;. Signal priorities can be specified as equal for all systems, as system specific or as system and frequency specific. For example:</p>
-<ul class="simple">
-<li>&#8216;<a href="#id76"><span class="problematic" id="id77">CWPX_</span></a>?&#8217; (General signal priorities valid for all GNSS)</li>
-<li>&#8216;C:IQX I:ABCX&#8217; (System specific signal priorities for BDS and IRNSS)</li>
-<li>&#8216;G:12&amp;PWCSLXYN G:5&amp;IQX R:12&amp;PC R:3&amp;IQX&#8217; (System and frequency specific signal priorities)</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The default &#8216;Signal priority&#8217; list is defined as follows: &#8216;G:12&amp;PWCSLXYN G:5&amp;IQX R:12&amp;PC R:3&amp;IQX E:16&amp;BCX E:578&amp;IQX J:1&amp;SLXCZ J:26&amp;SLX J:5&amp;IQX C:IQX I:ABCX S:1&amp;C S:5&amp;IQX&#8217;</p>
-</li>
-<li><p class="first">When converting RINEX Version 2 to Version 3 Observation files, the tracking mode or channel information in the (last character out of the 3-character) observation code is left blank if unknown. This is a compromise, knowing that it is not in accordance with the RINEX Version 3 documentation.</p>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Optionally you may specify a &#8216;RUN BY&#8217; string to be included in the emerging new RINEX file header. Default is an empty option field, meaning the operator&#8217;s ID is automatically used as &#8216;RUN BY&#8217; string.</p>
-<p>You can specify a list of observation codes in field &#8216;Use Obs. Types&#8217; to limit the output file content to specific observation codes. GNSS system characters in that list are followed by a colon and a 2- or 3-character observation code. A 2-character observation code would mean that all available tracking modes of the affected observation type and frequency will be accepted as part of the RINEX output file. Observation codes are separated by a blank character. Default is an empty option field, meaning that any input observation code will become part of the RINEX output file.</p>
-<p>Specifying comment line text to be added to the emerging new RINEX file header is another option. Any introduction of a newline through &#8216;\n&#8217; in this enforces the beginning of a further comment line. Comment lines will be added to the header immediately after the &#8216;PGM / RUN BY / DATE&#8217; record. Default is an empty option field, meaning that no additional comment line will be added to the RINEX header.</p>
-<p>If you specify a &#8216;New&#8217; but no &#8216;Old&#8217; marker/antenna/receiver name, the corresponding data field in the emerging new RINEX Observation file will be filled accordingly. If you in addition specify an &#8216;Old&#8217; marker/antenna/receiver name, the corresponding data field in the emerging new RINEX Observation file will only be filled accordingly where &#8216;Old&#8217; specifications match existing file content.</p>

Therefore, when converting <u>RINEX Version 3 to Version 2</u> Observation files, BNC is forced to somehow map signals with attributes to signals without attributes although this cannot be done in one-to-one correspondence. Hence we introduce a 'Version 2 Signal Priority' list of attributes (characters, forming a string) for mapping Version 3 to Version 2, see details in section 'RINEX Observations/Version 2'. Signal priorities can be specified as equal for all systems, as system specific or as system and frequency specific. For example:</li>
+<ul>
+<li>'CWPX_?' (General signal priorities valid for all GNSS)</li>
+<li>'C:IQX I:ABCX' (System specific signal priorities for BDS and IRNSS)</li>
+<li>'G:12&PWCSLXYN G:5&IQX R:12&PC R:3&IQX' (System and frequency specific signal priorities)</li>

This is a compromise, knowing that it is not in accordance with the RINEX Version 3 documentation.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Optionally you may specify a 'RUN BY' string to be included in the emerging new RINEX file header. Default is an empty option field, meaning the operator's ID is automatically used as 'RUN BY' string.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can specify a list of observation codes in field 'Use Obs. Types' to limit the output file content to specific observation codes. GNSS system characters in that list are followed by a colon and a 2- or 3-Character observation code. A 2-Character observation code would mean that all available tracking modes of the affected observation type and frequency will be accepted as part of the RINEX output file. Observation codes are separated by a blank character. Default is an empty option field, meaning that any input observation code will become part of the RINEX output file. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Specifying comment line text to be added to the emerging new RINEX file header is another option. Any introduction of a newline through '\n' in this enforces the beginning of a further comment line. Comment lines will be added to the header immediately after the 'PGM / RUN BY / DATE' record. Default is an empty option field, meaning that no additional comment line will be added to the RINEX header.
+</p>

+If you specify a 'New' but no 'Old' marker/antenna/receiver name, the corresponding data field in the emerging new RINEX Observation file will be filled accordingly. If you in addition specify an 'Old' marker/antenna/receiver name, the corresponding data field in the emerging new RINEX Observation file will only be filled accordingly where 'Old' specifications match existing file content.

-<p>BNC allows to compare the contents of two files with GNSS orbit and clock data in SP3 format <a class="reference internal" href="#fig-16"><span class="std std-numref">(Fig. 17)</span></a>. SP3 ASCII files basically contain a list of records over a certain period of time. Each record carries a time tag, the XYZ position of the satellite&#8217;s Center of Mass at that time and the corresponding satellite clock value. Both SP3 files may contain some records for different epochs. If so, then BNC only compares records for identical epochs. BNC accepts that a specific GNSS system or a specific satellite is only available from one of the SP3 files. Note that BNC does not interpolate orbits when comparing SP3 files.</p>

-<p>Differential GNSS and RTK operation using RTCM streams is currently based on corrections and/or raw measurements from single or multiple reference stations. This approach to differential positioning uses &#8216;observation space&#8217; information. The representation with the RTCM standard can be called &#8216;Observation Space Representation&#8217; (OSR).</p>
-<p>An alternative to the observation space approach is the so-called &#8216;state space&#8217; approach. The principle here is to provide information on individual error sources. It can be called &#8216;State Space Representation&#8217; (SSR). For a rover position, state space information concerning precise satellite clocks, orbits, ionosphere, troposphere et cetera can be converted into observation space and used to correct the rover observables for more accurate positioning.

+Differential GNSS and RTK operation using RTCM streams is currently based on corrections and/or raw measurements from single or multiple reference stations. This approach to differential positioning uses 'observation space' information. The representation with the RTCM standard can be called 'Observation Space Representation' (OSR).
+</p>
+<p>
+An alternative to the observation space approach is the so-called 'state space' approach. The principle here is to provide information on individual error sources. It can be called 'State Space Representation' (SSR). For a rover position, state space information concerning precise satellite clocks, orbits, ionosphere, troposphere et cetera can be converted into observation space and used to correct the rover observables for more accurate positioning. Alternatively, the state information can be used directly in the rover's processing or adjustment model.

+<p><h4>2.8.1 <a name="corrdir">Directory, ASCII - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Specify a directory for saving Broadcast Corrections in files. If the specified directory does not exist, BNC will not create Broadcast Correction files. Default value for Broadcast Correction 'Directory' is an empty option field, meaning that no Broadcast Correction files will be created.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.8.2 <a name="corrint">Interval - mandatory if 'Directory, ASCII' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the length of the Broadcast Correction files. The default value is '1 day'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.8.3 <a name="corrport">Port - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC can output epoch by epoch synchronized Broadcast Corrections in ASCII format on your local host (IP 127.0.0.1) through an IP 'Port'. Specify an IP port number to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no Broadcast Correction output via IP port is generated.
+</p>
+<p>
+The output format is similar to the format used for saving Broadcast Corrections in a file.

-<p>The source code for BNC comes with a Perl script named &#8216;test_tcpip_client.pl&#8217; that allows to read BNC&#8217;s (synchronized or unsynchronized) ASCII observation output from the IP port and print it on standard output for verification.</p>
-<p>Note that any socket connection of an application to BNC&#8217;s synchronized or unsynchronized observation ports is recorded in the &#8216;Log&#8217; tab on the bottom of the main window together with a connection counter, resulting in log records like &#8216;New client connection on sync/usync port: # 1&#8217;.</p>
-<p>The following figure shows the screenshot of a BNC configuration where a number of streams is pulled from different Ntrip Broadcasters to feed a GNSS engine via IP port output.</p>

-<h4>Port - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#id6" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>BNC can produce synchronized observations in ASCII format on your local host (IP 127.0.0.1) through an IP &#8216;Port&#8217;. Synchronized means that BNC collects all observation data for a specific epoch, which become available within a certain number of seconds (see &#8216;Wait for Full Obs Epoch&#8217; option). It then - epoch by epoch - outputs whatever has been received. The output comes block-wise per stream following the format specified in <a class="reference internal" href="#tab-feed-engine"><span class="std std-numref">Table 6</span></a>. Enter an IP port number here to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no synchronized output is generated.</p>

-<p>When feeding a real-time GNSS network engine waiting for synchronized observations epoch by epoch, BNC drops whatever is received later than &#8216;Wait for full obs epoch&#8217; seconds. A value of 3 to 5 seconds could be an appropriate choice for that, depending on the latency of the incoming streams and the delay acceptable for your real-time GNSS product. Default value for &#8216;Wait for full obs epoch&#8217; is 5 seconds.</p>
-<p>Note that &#8216;Wait for full obs epoch&#8217; does not affect the RINEX Observation file content. Observations received later than &#8216;Wait for full obs epoch&#8217; seconds will still be included in the RINEX Observation files.</p>

-<p>Select a synchronized observation output sampling interval in seconds. A value of zero &#8216;0&#8217; tells BNC to send/store all received epochs. This is the default value.</p>

-<p>Specify the full path to a &#8216;File&#8217; where synchronized observations are saved in plain ASCII format. The default value is an empty option field, meaning that no ASCII output file is created.</p>
-<p>Beware that the size of this file can rapidly increase depending on the number of incoming streams. To prevent it from becoming too large, the name of the file can be changed on-the-fly. This option is primarily meant for test and evaluation.</p>

-<h4>Port (unsynchronized) - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#port-unsynchronized-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>BNC can produce unsynchronized observations from all configured streams in ASCII format on your local host (IP 127.0.0.1) through an IP &#8216;Port&#8217;. Unsynchronized means that BNC immediately forwards any received observation to the port. Nevertheless, the output is produced block-wise per stream. Specify an IP port number here to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no unsynchronized output is generated.</p>
-<p>The following is an example for unsynchronized IP port output which presents observations from GPS and GLONASS as collected through stream WTZR0. The format for synchronized and unsynchronized output of observations is very much the same. However, unsynchronized output does not have &#8216;Epoch Records&#8217; and &#8216;Observation Records&#8217;. Instead each record contains the &#8216;GPS Week Number&#8217; and &#8216;GPS Second of Week&#8217; time tag between the mountpoint string and the satellite number, see <a class="reference internal" href="#tab-feed-engine"><span class="std std-numref">Table 6</span></a> for format details.</p>

-<p>At any time an incoming stream might become unavailable or corrupted. In such cases, it is important that the BNC operator and/or the stream providers become aware of the situation so that measures can be taken to restore the stream. Furthermore, continuous attempts to decode a corrupted stream can generate unnecessary workload for BNC. Outages and corruptions are handled by BNC as follows:</p>
-<p>Stream outages: BNC considers a connection to be broken when there are no incoming data detected for more than 20 seconds. When this occurs, BNC will try to reconnect at a decreasing rate. It will first try to reconnect with 1 second delay and again in 2 seconds if the previous attempt failed. If the attempt is still unsuccessful, it will try to reconnect within 4 seconds after the previous attempt and so on. The waiting time doubles each time with a maximum of 256 seconds.</p>
-<p>Stream corruption: Not all chunks of bits transferred to BNC&#8217;s internal decoder may return valid observations. Sometimes several chunks might be needed before the next observation can be properly decoded. BNC buffers all outputs (both valid and invalid) from the decoder for a short time span (size derived from the expected &#8216;Observation rate&#8217;) to then determine whether a stream is valid or corrupted.</p>
-<p>Outage and corruption events are reported in the &#8216;Log&#8217; tab. They can also be passed on as parameters to a shell script or batch file to generate an advisory note to BNC&#8217;s operator or affected stream providers. This functionality lets users utilize BNC as a real-time performance monitor and alarm system for a network of GNSS reference stations, see <a class="reference internal" href="#fig-20b"><span class="std std-numref">Fig. 22</span></a> for an example setup.</p>

The default value is set to 15 minutes and is recommended as to not inundate users with too many event reports.</p>
-<p>Note that specifying a value of zero &#8216;0&#8217; for the &#8216;Failure threshold&#8217; will force BNC to report any stream failure immediately. Note also that for using this function you need to specify the &#8216;Observation rate&#8217;.</p>

-<p>BNC can average latencies per stream over a certain period of GPS time, the &#8216;Log latency&#8217; interval. Mean latencies are calculated from the individual latencies of one (first incoming) observation or Broadcast Correction per second. The mean latencies are then saved in BNC&#8217;s logfile. Note that computing correct latencies requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized. Note further that visualized latencies from the &#8216;Latency&#8217; tab on the bottom of the main window represent individual latencies and not the mean latencies for the logfile.</p>

It also estimates an observation rate (independent from the a priori specified &#8216;Observation rate&#8217;) from all observations received throughout the first full &#8216;Log latency&#8217; interval. Based on this rate, BNC estimates the number of data gaps when appearing in subsequent intervals.</p>
-<p>Latencies of observations or corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris and statistical information can be recorded in the &#8216;Log&#8217; tab at the end of each &#8216;Log latency&#8217; interval. A typical output from a 1 hour &#8216;Log latency&#8217; interval would be:</p>

-<p>When configuring a GNSS receiver for RTCM stream generation, the firmware&#8217;s setup interface may not provide details about RTCM message types and observation types. As reliable information concerning stream content should be available e.g. for Ntrip Broadcaster operators to maintain the broadcaster&#8217;s source-table, BNC allows to scan RTCM streams for incoming message types and printout some of the contained meta-data. Contained observation types are also printed because such information is required a priori for the conversion of RTCM Version 3 MSM streams to RINEX Version 3 files. The idea for this option arose from &#8216;inspectRTCM&#8217;, a comprehensive stream analyzing tool written by D. Stöcker.</p>

+<p>
+The source code for BNC comes with a Perl script named 'test_tcpip_client.pl' that allows to read BNC's (synchronized or unsynchronized) ASCII observation output from the IP port and print it on standard output for verification.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that any socket connection of an application to BNC's synchronized or unsynchronized observation ports is recorded in the 'Log' tab on the bottom of the main window together with a connection counter, resulting in log records like 'New client connection on sync/usync port: # 1'.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The following figure shows the screenshot of a BNC configuration where a number of streams is pulled from different Ntrip Broadcasters to feed a GNSS engine via IP port output.

+<p><u>Figure 18:</u> Synchronized BNC output via IP port to feed a GNSS real-time engine</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.9.1 <a name="syncport">Port - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC can produce synchronized observations in ASCII format on your local host (IP 127.0.0.1) through an IP 'Port'. Synchronized means that BNC collects all observation data for a specific epoch, which become available within a certain number of seconds (see 'Wait for Full Obs Epoch' option). It then - epoch by epoch - outputs whatever has been received. The output comes block-wise per stream following the format specified in Table 2. Enter an IP port number here to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no synchronized output is generated.</p>
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.9.2 <a name="syncwait">Wait for Full Obs Epoch - mandatory if 'Port' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+When feeding a real-time GNSS network engine waiting for synchronized observations epoch by epoch, BNC drops whatever is received later than 'Wait for full obs epoch' seconds. A value of 3 to 5 seconds could be an appropriate choice for that, depending on the latency of the incoming streams and the delay acceptable for your real-time GNSS product. Default value for 'Wait for full obs epoch' is 5 seconds.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that 'Wait for full obs epoch' does not affect the RINEX Observation file content. Observations received later than 'Wait for full obs epoch' seconds will still be included in the RINEX Observation files.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.9.3 <a name="syncsample">Sampling - mandatory if 'File' or 'Port' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select a synchronized observation output sampling interval in seconds. A value of zero '0' tells BNC to send/store all received epochs. This is the default value.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.9.4 <a name="syncfile">File - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Specify the full path to a 'File' where synchronized observations are saved in plain ASCII format. The default value is an empty option field, meaning that no ASCII output file is created.
+</p>
+<p>
+Beware that the size of this file can rapidly increase depending on the number of incoming streams. To prevent it from becoming too large, the name of the file can be changed on-the-fly. This option is primarily meant for test and evaluation.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.9.5 <a name="syncuport">Port (unsynchronized) - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC can produce unsynchronized observations from all configured streams in ASCII format on your local host (IP 127.0.0.1) through an IP 'Port'. Unsynchronized means that BNC immediately forwards any received observation to the port. Nevertheless, the output is produced block-wise per stream. Specify an IP port number here to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no unsynchronized output is generated.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following is an example for unsynchronized IP port output which presents observations from GPS and GLONASS as collected through stream WTZR0. The format for synchronized and unsynchronized output of observations is very much the same. However, unsynchronized output does not have 'Epoch Records' and 'Observation Records'. Instead each record contains the 'GPS Week Number' and 'GPS Second of Week' time tag between the mountpoint string and the satellite number, see Table 2 for format details.

+<p><h4>2.10 <a name="serial">Serial Output</h4></p>
+<p>
+You may use BNC to feed a serially connected device like a GNSS receiver. For that, an incoming stream can be forwarded to a serial port. Depending on the stream content, the receiver may use it for Differential GNSS, Precise Point Positioning or any other purpose supported by its firmware.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that receiving a VRS stream requires the receiver sending NMEA sentences (option 'NMEA' set to 'Manual' or 'Auto') to the Ntrip Broadcaster. The following figure shows the data flow when pulling a VRS stream or a physical (non-VRS) stream.
+</p>
+
+<p><img src="IMG/screenshot35.png"/></p>

+When selecting one of the serial communication options listed below, make sure that you pick those configured to the serially connected receiver.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.2 <a name="serport">Port Name - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Enter the serial 'Port name' selected on your host for communication with the serially connected receiver. Valid port names are
+</p>
+<pre>
+   Windows:       COM1, COM2
+   Linux:         /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1

+   SunOS/Solaris: /dev/ttya, /dev/ttyb
+</pre>
+<p>
+Note that you must plug a serial cable in the port defined here before you start BNC.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.3 <a name="serbaud">Baud Rate - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select a 'Baud rate' for the serial output link. Note that using a high baud rate is recommended.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.4 <a name="serflow">Flow Control - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select a 'Flow control' for the serial output link. Note that your selection must equal the flow control configured to the serially connected device. Select 'OFF' if you do not know better.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.5 <a name="serparity">Parity - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the 'Parity' for the serial output link. Note that parity is often set to 'NONE'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.6 <a name="serdata">Data Bits - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the number of 'Data bits' for the serial output link. Note that often '8' data bits are used.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.7 <a name="serstop">Stop Bits - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the number of 'Stop bits' for the serial output link. Note that often '1' stop bit is used.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.8 <a name="serauto">NMEA - mandatory if 'Mountpoint' is set</h4></p>
+<p>The 'NMEA' option supports the so-called 'Virtual Reference Station' (VRS) concept which requires the receiver to send approximate position information to the Ntrip Broadcaster. Select 'no' if you do not want BNC to forward or upload any NMEA sentence to the Ntrip broadcaster in support of VRS.
+</p>
+<p>Select 'Auto' to automatically forward NMEA sentences of type GGA from your serially connected receiver to the Ntrip broadcaster and/or save them in a file.
+</p>
+<p>Select 'Manual GPGGA' or 'Manual GNGGA' if you want BNC to produce and upload GPGGA or GNGGA NMEA sentences to the Ntrip broadcaster because your serially connected receiver does not generate them. A Talker ID 'GP' proceeding the GGA string stands for GPS solutions while a Talker ID 'GN' stands for multi-constellation solutions.
+</p>
+<p>Note that selecting 'Auto' or 'Manual' works only for VRS streams which show up under the 'Streams' canvas on BNC's main window with 'nmea' stream attribute set to 'yes'. This attribute is either extracted from the Ntrip broadcaster's source-table or introduced by the user through editing the BNC configuration file.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.9 <a name="serfile">File - optional if 'NMEA' is set to 'Auto'</h4></p>
+<p>Specify the full path to a file where NMEA sentences coming from your serially connected receiver are saved. Default is an empty option field, meaning that no NMEA sentences will be saved on disk.
+</p>
+<p><h4>2.10.10 <a name="serheight">Height - mandatory if 'NMEA' is set to 'Manual'</h4></p>
+<p>
+Specify an approximate 'Height' above mean sea level in meters for the reference station introduced through 'Mountpoint'. Together with the latitude and longitude from the Ntrip broadcaster source-table, the height information is used to build GGA sentences to be sent to the Ntrip broadcaster.
+</p>
+<p>For adjusting latitude and longitude values of a VRS stream given in the 'Streams' canvas, you can double click the latitude/longitude data fields, specify appropriate values and then hit Enter.
+</p>
+<p>This option is only relevant when option 'NMEA' is set to 'Manual GPGGA' or 'Manual GNGGA' respectively.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.10.11 <a name="sersampl">Sampling - mandatory if 'NMEA' is set to 'Manual'</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select a sampling interval in seconds for manual generation and upload of NMEA GGA sentences.
+</p>
+<p>
+A sampling rate of '0' means that a GGA sentence will be sent only once to initialize the requested VRS stream. Note that some VRS systems need GGA sentences at regular intervals.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.11 <a name="advnote">Outages</h4></p>
+<p>
+At any time an incoming stream might become unavailable or corrupted. In such cases, it is important that the BNC operator and/or the stream providers become aware of the situation so that measures can be taken to restore the stream. Furthermore, continuous attempts to decode a corrupted stream can generate unnecessary workload for BNC. Outages and corruptions are handled by BNC as follows:
+</p>
+<p>
+<u>Stream outages:</u> BNC considers a connection to be broken when there are no incoming data detected for more than 20 seconds. When this occurs, BNC will try to reconnect at a decreasing rate. It will first try to reconnect with 1 second delay and again in 2 seconds if the previous attempt failed. If the attempt is still unsuccessful, it will try to reconnect within 4 seconds after the previous attempt and so on. The waiting time doubles each time with a maximum of 256 seconds.
+</p>
+<p>
+<u>Stream corruption:</u> Not all chunks of bits transferred to BNC's internal decoder may return valid observations. Sometimes several chunks might be needed before the next observation can be properly decoded. BNC buffers all outputs (both valid and invalid) from the decoder for a short time span (size derived from the expected 'Observation rate') to then determine whether a stream is valid or corrupted.
+</p>
+<p>
+Outage and corruption events are reported in the 'Log' tab. They can also be passed on as parameters to a shell script or batch file to generate an advisory note to BNC's operator or affected stream providers. This functionality lets users utilize BNC as a real-time performance monitor and alarm system for a network of GNSS reference stations.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.11.1 <a name="obsrate">Observation Rate - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC can collect all returns (success or failure) coming from a decoder within a certain short time span to then decide whether a stream has an outage or its content is corrupted. This procedure needs a rough a priori estimate of the expected observation rate of the incoming streams.</p><p>An empty option field (default) means that you do not want explicit information from BNC about stream outages and incoming streams that cannot be decoded.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.11.2 <a name="advfail">Failure Threshold - mandatory if 'Observation rate' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Event 'Begin_Failure' will be reported if no data is received continuously for longer than the 'Failure threshold' time. Similarly, event 'Begin_Corrupted' will be reported when corrupted data is detected by the decoder continuously for longer than this 'Failure threshold' time. The default value is set to 15 minutes and is recommended as to not inundate users with too many event reports.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that specifying a value of zero '0' for the 'Failure threshold' will force BNC to report any stream failure immediately. Note also that for using this function you need to specify the 'Observation rate'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.11.3 <a name="advreco">Recovery Threshold - mandatory if 'Observation rate' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+Once a 'Begin_Failure' or 'Begin_Corrupted' event has been reported, BNC will check when the stream again becomes available or uncorrupted. Event 'End_Failure' or 'End_Corrupted' will be reported as soon as valid observations are detected continuously throughout the 'Recovery threshold' time span. The default value is set to 5 minutes and is recommended as to not inundate users with too many event reports.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that specifying a value of zero '0' for the 'Recovery threshold' will force BNC to report any stream recovery immediately. Note also that for using this function you need to specify the 'Observation rate'.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.11.4 <a name="advscript">Script - optional if 'Observation rate' is set</h4></p>
+<p>
+As mentioned before, BNC can trigger a shell script or a batch file to be executed when one of the described events is reported. This script can be used to email an advisory note to network operator or stream providers. To enable this feature, specify the full path to the script or batch file in the 'Script' field. The affected stream's mountpoint and type of event reported ('Begin_Outage', 'End_Outage', 'Begin_Corrupted' or 'End_Corrupted') will then be passed on to the script as command line parameters (%1 and %2 on Windows systems or $1 and $2 on Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems) together with date and time information.
+</p>
+<p>
+Leave the 'Script' field empty if you do not wish to use this option. An invalid path will also disable this option.
+</p>
+<p>
+Examples for command line parameter strings passed on to the advisory 'Script' are:
+<pre>
+   FFMJ0 Begin_Outage 08-02-21 09:25:59
+   FFMJ0 End_Outage 08-02-21 11:36:02 Begin was 08-02-21 09:25:59
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+Sample script for Unix/Linux/Mac OS X systems:
+</p>
+<pre>
+   #!/bin/bash
+   sleep $((60*RANDOM/32767))
+   cat &gt; mail.txt &lt;&lt;EOF
+   Advisory Note to BNC User,
+   Please note the following advisory received from BNC.
+   Stream: $*
+   Regards, BNC
+   EOF
+   mail -s &quot;NABU: $1&quot; email@address &lt; mail.txt
+</pre>
+</p>
+<p>
+Note the sleep command in this script, which causes the system to wait for a random period of up to 60 seconds before sending the email. This should avoid overloading your mail server in case of a simultaneous failure of many streams.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.12 <a name="misc">Miscellaneous</h4></p>
+<p>
+This section describes several miscellaneous options which can be applied to a single stream (mountpoint) or to all configured streams.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The following figure shows RTCM message numbers and observation types contained in stream 'CUT07' and the message latencies recorded every 2 seconds.
+</p>
+<p><img src="IMG/screenshot14.png"/></p>
+<p><u>Figure 21:</u> RTCM message numbers, latencies and observation types logged by BNC</p>
+
+
+<p><h4>2.12.1 <a name="miscmount">Mountpoint - optional </h4></p>
+<p>
+Specify a mountpoint to apply one or several of the 'Miscellaneous' options to the corresponding stream. Enter 'ALL' if you want to apply these options to all configured streams. An empty option field (default) means that you do not want BNC to apply any of these options.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.12.2 <a name="miscperf">Log Latency - optional </h4></p>
+<p>
+ BNC can average latencies per stream over a certain period of GPS time, the 'Log latency' interval. Mean latencies are calculated from the individual latencies of one (first incoming) observation or Broadcast Correction per second. The mean latencies are then saved in BNC's logfile. Note that computing correct latencies requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized. Note further that visualized latencies from the 'Latency' tab on the bottom of the main window represent individual latencies and not the mean latencies for the logfile.
+</p>
+<p>
+<u>Latency:</u> Latency is defined in BNC by the following equation:
+</p>
+<pre>
+    UTC time provided by BNC's host
+  - GPS time of currently processed epoch
+  + Leap seconds between UTC and GPS time
+  --------------
+  = Latency
+</pre>
+<p>
+<u>Statistics:</u> BNC counts the number of GPS seconds covered by at least one observation. It also estimates an observation rate (independent from the a priori specified 'Observation rate') from all observations received throughout the first full 'Log latency' interval. Based on this rate, BNC estimates the number of data gaps when appearing in subsequent intervals.
+</p>
+<p>
+Latencies of observations or corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris and statistical information can be recorded in the 'Log' tab at the end of each 'Log latency' interval. A typical output from a 1 hour 'Log latency' interval would be:
+</p>
+<pre>
+08-03-17 15:59:47 BRUS0: Mean latency 1.47 sec, min 0.66, max 3.02, rms 0.35, 3585 epochs, 15 gaps
+</pre>
+<p>
+Select a 'Log latency' interval to activate this function or select the empty option field if you do not want BNC to log latencies and statistical information.
+</p>
+
+
+<p><h4>2.12.3 <a name="miscscan">Scan RTCM - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+When configuring a GNSS receiver for RTCM stream generation, the firmware's setup interface may not provide details about RTCM message types and observation types. As reliable information concerning stream content should be available e.g. for Ntrip Broadcaster operators to maintain the broadcaster's source-table, BNC allows to scan RTCM streams for incoming message types and printout some of the contained meta-data. Contained observation types are also printed because such information is required a priori for the conversion of RTCM Version 3 MSM streams to RINEX Version 3 files. The idea for this option arose from 'inspectRTCM', a comprehensive stream analyzing tool written by D. St&ouml;cker.

+<p><h4>2.13.1.8 <a name="pppv3filename">Version 3 Filenames - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Tick 'Version 3 filenames' to let BNC create so-called extended filenames for PPP logfiles, NMEA files and SINEX Troposphere files to follow the RINEX Version 3 standard, see section 'RINEX Filenames' for details.
+</p>
+<p>
+Default is an empty check box, meaning to create filenames following the RINEX Version 2 standard. The file content is not affected by this option. It only concerns the filename notation.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following are examples for Version 2 filenames:
+<p>
+</p>

-<p>Each row reports the PPP result of one epoch. It begins with a UTC time stamp (yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) which tells us when the result was produced. A second time stamp (yyyy-mm-dd_hh:mm:ss) describes the PPP&#8217;s epoch in &#8216;GPS Time&#8217;. It is followed by the derived XYZ position in [m], its North, East and Up displacement compared to an introduced a priori coordinate, and the estimated tropospheric delay [m] (model plus correction). If you require more information, you can specify a &#8216;Logfile directory&#8217; to save daily logfiles per station (filename suffix &#8216;ppp&#8217;) with additional processing details on disk:</p>

+Each row reports the PPP result of one epoch. It begins with a UTC time stamp (yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) which tells us when the result was produced. A second time stamp (yyyy-mm-dd_hh:mm:ss) describes the PPP's epoch in 'GPS Time'. It is followed by the derived XYZ position in [m], its North, East and Up displacement compared to an introduced a priori coordinate, and the estimated tropospheric delay [m] (model plus correction).

+If you require more information, you can specify a 'Logfile directory' to save daily logfiles per station (filename suffix 'ppp') with additional processing details on disk.

+<p><h4>2.13.3.1 <a name="ppplinecombi">Linear Combinations - mandatory</h4></p>
+<p>
+<p>
+Specify on which ionosphere-free Linear Combinations (LCs) of observations you want to base ambiguity resolutions (Mervart et al. 2008). This implicitly defines the kind of GNSS observations you want to use. The specification is to be done per GNSS system ('GPS LCs', 'GLONASS LCs', 'Galileo LCs', 'BDS LCs').
+</p>
+<p>
+<ul>
+<li>Selecting 'P3' means that you request BNC to use code data and the so-called P3 ionosphere-free linear combinations of code observations.</li>
+<li>'L3' means that you request BNC to use phase data and the so-called L3 ionosphere-free linear combinations of phase observations.</li>
+<li>'P3&L3' means that you request BNC to use both, code and phase data and the so-called P3 and L3 ionosphere-free linear combinations of code and phase observations.
+</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>Note that most geodetic GPS receivers support the observation of both, code and phase data. Hence, specifying 'P3&L3' would be a good choice for GPS when processing data from such a receiver. If multi-GNSS data processing is your intention, make sure your receiver supports GLONASS and/or Galileo and/or BDS observations besides GPS. Note also that the Broadcast Correction stream or file, which is required for PPP, also supports all the systems you have in mind.
+</p>
+<p>Specifying 'no' means that you do not at all want BNC to use observations from the affected GNSS system.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.13.3.2 <a name="pppcodeobs">Code Observations - mandatory</h4></p>
+</p>
+Enter a 'Sigma C1' for C1 code observations in meters. The bigger the sigma you enter, the less the contribution of C1 code observations to a PPP solution based on a combination of code and phase data. '2.0' meters is likely to be an appropriate choice.
+</p>
+<p>
+Specify a maximum for residuals 'Max Res C1' for C1 code observations in a PPP solution. '3.0' meters may be an appropriate choice for that. If the maximum is exceeded, contributions from the corresponding observation will be ignored in the PPP solution.
+</p>
+
+
+<p><h4>2.13.3.3 <a name="pppphaseobs">Phase Observations - mandatory</h4></p>
+<p>
+Enter a 'Sigma L1' for L1 phase observations in meters. The bigger the sigma you enter, the less the contribution of L1 phase observations to a PPP solutions based on a combination of code and phase data. '0.01' meters is likely to be an appropriate choice.
+</p>
+<p>
+Specify a maximum for residuals 'Max Res L1' for L1 phase observations in a PPP solution. '0.03' meters may be an appropriate choice for that. If the maximum is exceeded, contributions from the corresponding observation will be ignored in the PPP solution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As the convergence characteristic of a PPP solution can be influenced by the ratio of sigmas for code and phase, you may like to introduce sigmas which differ from the default values.
+<ul>
 <li>Introducing a smaller sigma (higher accuracy) for code observations or a bigger sigma for phase observations leads to better results shortly after program start. However, it may take more time until you finally get the best possible solution.</li>
 <li>Introducing a bigger sigma (lower accuracy) for code observations or a smaller sigma for phase observations may lead to less accurate results shortly after program start and thus a prolonged period of convergence but could provide better positions in the long run.</li>

-<p>Specifying &#8216;no&#8217; for option &#8216;Wait for clock corr.&#8217; means that BNC processes each epoch of data immediately after arrival using satellite clock corrections available at that time. A non-zero value means that epochs of data are buffered and the processing of each epoch is postponed until satellite clock corrections not older than &#8216;Wait for clock corr.&#8217; seconds are available.

-<p>BNC allows processing several orbit and clock correction streams in real-time to produce, encode, upload and save a combination of Broadcast Corrections from various providers. All corrections must refer to satellite Antenna Phase Centers (APC). It is so far only the satellite clock corrections which are combined by BNC while orbit corrections in the combination product as well as product update rates are just taken over from one of the incoming Broadcast Correction streams. Combining only clock corrections using a fixed orbit reference imposes the potential to introduce some analysis inconsistencies. We may therefore eventually consider improvements on this approach. The clock combination can be based either on a plain &#8216;Single-Epoch&#8217; or on a Kalman &#8216;Filter&#8217; approach.</p>
-<p>In the Kalman Filter approach, satellite clocks estimated by individual Analyses Centers (ACs) are used as pseudo observations within the adjustment process. Each observation is modeled as a linear function (actually a simple sum) of three estimated parameters: AC specific offset, satellite specific offset common to all ACs, and the actual satellite clock correction, which represents the result of the combination. These three parameter types differ in their statistical properties. The satellite clock offsets are assumed to be static parameters while AC specific and satellite specific offsets are stochastic parameters affected by white noise.</p>
-<p>The solution is regularized by a set of minimal constraints. In case of a change of the &#8216;SSR Provider ID&#8217;, &#8216;SSR Solution ID&#8217;, or &#8216;IOD SSR&#8217; (see section &#8216;Upload Corrections&#8217;), the satellite clock offsets belonging to the corresponding analysis center are reset in the adjustment.</p>
-<p>Removing the AC-dependent biases as well as possible is a major issue with clock combinations. Since they vary in time, it can be tricky to do this. Otherwise, there will be artificial jumps in the combined clock stream if one or more AC contributions drop out for certain epochs. Here the Kalman Filter approach is expected to do better than the Single-Epoch approach.</p>

Note further that BNC will ignore incorrect or outdated Broadcast Ephemeris data when necessary, leaving a note &#8216;WRONG EPHEMERIS&#8217; or &#8216;OUTDATED EPHEMERIS&#8217; in the logfile.</p>
-<p>A combination is carried out following a specified sampling interval. BNC waits for incoming Broadcast Corrections for the period of one such interval. Corrections received later than that will be ignored. If incoming streams have different rates, only epochs that correspond to the sampling interval are used.</p>
-<p>With respect to IGS, it is important to understand that a major effect in the combination of GNSS orbit and clock correction streams is the selection of ACs to include. It is likely that a combination product could be improved in accuracy by using only the best two or three ACs. However, with only a few ACs to depend on, the reliability of the combination product could suffer and the risk of total failures increases. So there is an important tradeoff here that must be considered when selecting streams for a combination. The major strength of a combination product is its reliability and stable median performance which can be much better than that of any single AC product.</p>
-<p>This comment applies in situations where we have a limited number of solutions to combine and their quality varies significantly. The situation may be different when the total number of ACs is larger and the range of AC variation is smaller. In that case, a standard full combination is probably the best.</p>
-<p>The following recursive algorithm is used to detect orbit outliers in the Kalman Filter combination when Broadcast Corrections are provided by several ACs:</p>
-<ol class="arabic simple">
-<li>We do not produce a combination for a certain satellite if only one AC provides corrections for it.</li>
-<li>A mean satellite position is calculated as the average of positions from all ACs.</li>
-<li>For each AC and satellite, the 3D distance between individual and mean satellite position is calculated.</li>
-<li>We find the greatest difference between AC specific and mean satellite positions.</li>
-<li>If that is less than a threshold, the conclusion is that we do not have an outlier and can proceed to the next epoch.</li>
-<li>If that is greater than a threshold, then corrections of the affiliated AC are ignored for the affected epoch and the outlier detection restarts with 1.</li>

+Note that the combination process requires real-time access to Broadcast Ephemeris. Therefore, in addition to the orbit and clock correction streams BNC must pull a stream carrying Broadcast Ephemeris in the form of RTCM Version 3 messages.

Then double click on the 'AC Name' field to enter your choice of an abbreviation for the Analysis Center (AC) providing the Antenna Phase Center (APC) related correction stream. Finally, double click on the 'Weight' field to enter a weight to be applied to this stream in the combination. 
+</p>
+<p>
+The sequence of entries in the 'Combine Corrections' table is not of importance. Note that the orbit information in the final combination stream is just copied from one of the incoming streams. The stream used for providing the orbits may vary over time: if the orbit-providing stream has an outage then BNC switches to the next remaining stream for getting hold of the orbit information.</p>
+<p>
+It is possible to specify only one Broadcast Ephemeris correction stream in the 'Combine Corrections' table. Instead of combining corrections from several sources, BNC will then merge the single corrections stream with Broadcast Ephemeris to allow saving results in SP3 and/or Clock RINEX format when specified accordingly under the 'Upload Corrections' panel. Note that in such a BNC application you must not pull more than one Broadcast Ephemeris correction stream even if a second stream would provide the same corrections from a backup caster.

-<p>BNC allows configuring several Broadcast Correction streams for upload so that they refer to different reference systems and different Ntrip Broadcasters. You may use this functionality for parallel support of a backup Ntrip Broadcaster or for simultaneous support of various regional reference systems. Available options for transforming orbit and clock corrections to specific target reference systems are:</p>

-<h4>Center of Mass - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#center-of-mass-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>BNC allows to either refer Broadcast Corrections to the satellite&#8217;s Center of Mass (CoM) or to the satellite&#8217;s Antenna Phase Center (APC). By default, corrections refer to APC. Tick &#8216;Center of Mass&#8217; to refer uploaded corrections to CoM.</p>

-<h4>SP3 File - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#sp3-file-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>Specify a path for saving the generated orbit corrections as SP3 orbit files. If the specified directory does not exist, BNC will not create SP3 orbit files. The following is a path example for a Linux system:</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">/home/user/BNC${GPSWD}.sp3</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>Note that &#8216;${GPSWD}&#8217; produces the GPS Week and Day number in the filename. Default is an empty option field, meaning that you do not want BNC to save the uploaded stream content in daily SP3 files.</p>
-<p>As a SP3 file content should be referred to the satellites&#8217; Center of Mass (CoM) while Broadcast Corrections are referred to the satellites&#8217; APC, an offset has to be applied which is available from an IGS ANTEX file (see option &#8216;ANTEX File&#8217; below). Hence, you should specify the &#8216;ANTEX File&#8217; path there if you want to save the stream content in SP3 format. If you do not specify an &#8216;ANTEX File&#8217; path, the SP3 file content will be referred to the satellites APCs.</p>
-<p>The filenames for the daily SP3 files follow the convention for SP3 filenames. The first three characters of each filename are set to &#8216;BNC&#8217;. Note that clocks in the SP3 orbit files are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect.</p>
-<p>In case the &#8216;Combine Corrections&#8217; table contains only one Broadcast Correction stream, BNC will merge that stream with Broadcast Ephemeris to save results in files specified here through SP3 and/or Clock RINEX file path. In such a case you have to define only the SP3 and Clock RINEX file path and no further option in the &#8216;Upload Corrections&#8217; table.</p>
-<p>Note that BNC outputs a complete list of SP3 &#8216;Epoch Header Records&#8217;, even if no &#8216;Position and Clock Records&#8217; are available for certain epochs because of stream outages. Note further that the &#8216;Number of Epochs&#8217; in the first SP3 header record may not be correct because that number is not available when the file is created. Depending on your processing software (e.g. Bernese GNSS Software, BSW) it could therefore be necessary to correct an incorrect &#8216;Number of Epochs&#8217; in the file before you use it in post processing.</p>

+Because a mathematically strict transformation to a regional reference system is not possible on the BNC server side when a scale factor is involved, the program follows an approximate solution. While <u>orbits</u> are transformed in full accordance with given equations, a transformed <u>clock</u> is derived through applying correction term
+</p>
+<pre>
+   dC = (s - 1) / s * &rho; / c
+</pre>
+<p>
+where s is the transformation scale, c is the speed of light, and &rho; are the topocentric distance between an (approximate) center of the transformation's validity area and the satellite.
+</p>
+<p>
+From a theoretical point of view, this kind of approximation leads to inconsistencies between orbits and clocks and is therefore not allowed (Huisman et al. 2012). However, it has been proved that resulting errors in Precise Point Positioning are on millimeter level for horizontal components and below one centimeter for height components. The Australian GDA94 transformation with its comparatively large scale parameter is an exception in this as discrepancies may reach up there to two centimeters.

+
+<p><h4>2.15.4 <a name="upcom">Center of Mass - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC allows to either refer Broadcast Corrections to the satellite's Center of Mass (CoM) or to the satellite's Antenna Phase Center (APC). By default, corrections refer to APC. Tick 'Center of Mass' to refer uploaded corrections to CoM.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.5 <a name="upsp3">SP3 File - optional</h4></p>
+<p>Specify a path for saving the generated orbit corrections as SP3 orbit files. If the specified directory does not exist, BNC will not create SP3 orbit files. The following is a path example for a Linux system:
+
+<pre>
+   /home/user/BNC${GPSWD}.sp3
+</pre>
+
+Note that '${GPSWD}' produces the GPS Week and Day number in the filename.</p>
+<p>
+Default is an empty option field, meaning that you do not want BNC to save the uploaded stream content in daily SP3 files.
+</p>
+<p>
+As a SP3 file content should be referred to the satellites' Center of Mass (CoM) while Broadcast Corrections are referred to the satellites' APC, an offset has to be applied which is available from an IGS ANTEX file (see option 'ANTEX File' below). Hence, you should specify the 'ANTEX File' path there if you want to save the stream content in SP3 format. If you do not specify an 'ANTEX File' path, the SP3 file content will be referred to the satellites APCs.
+</p>
+<p>
+The filenames for the daily SP3 files follow the convention for SP3 filenames. The first three characters of each filename are set to 'BNC'. Note that clocks in the SP3 orbit files are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect.
+</p>
+<p>
+In case the 'Combine Corrections' table contains only one Broadcast Correction stream, BNC will merge that stream with Broadcast Ephemeris to save results in files specified here through SP3 and/or Clock RINEX file path. In such a case you have to define only the SP3 and Clock RINEX file path and no further option in the 'Upload Corrections' table.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that BNC outputs a complete list of SP3 'Epoch Header Records', even if no 'Position and Clock Records' are available for certain epochs because of stream outages. Note further that the 'Number of Epochs' in the first SP3 header record may not be correct because that number is not available when the file is created. Depending on your processing software (e.g. Bernese GNSS Software, BSW) it could therefore be necessary to correct an incorrect 'Number of Epochs' in the file before you use it in post processing.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.6 <a name="uprinex">RNX File - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+The clock corrections generated by BNC for upload can be logged in Clock RINEX format. The file naming follows the RINEX convention.
+</p>
+<p>
+Specify a path for saving the generated clock corrections as Clock RINEX files. If the specified directory does not exist, BNC will not create Clock RINEX files. The following is a path example for a Linux system:
+<pre>
+   /home/user/BNC${GPSWD}.clk
+</pre>
+Note that '${GPSWD}' produces the GPS Week and Day number in the filename.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note further that clocks in the Clock RINEX files are not corrected for the conventional periodic relativistic effect.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.7 <a name="pidsidiod">PID, SID, IOD - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+When applying Broadcast Ephemeris corrections in a PPP algorithm or in a combination of several correction streams, it is important for the client software to receive information on the continuity of discontinuity of the stream contents. Here you can specify three ID's to describe the contents of your Broadcast Ephemeris correction stream when it is uploaded.
+<ul>
+<li>A 'SSR Provider ID' is issued by RTCM SC-104 on request to identify a SSR service (see e.g. <u>http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/wiki/SSRProvider</u>). This ID is globally unique. Values vary in the range of 0-65535. Values in the range of 0-255 are reserved for experimental services.</li>
+<li>A provider may generate several Broadcast Ephemeris correction streams with different contents. The 'SSR Solution ID' indicates different SSR services of one SSR provider. Values vary in the range of 0-15.</li>
+<li>A change of the 'IOD SSR' is used to indicate a change in the SSR generating configuration which may be relevant for the rover. Values vary in the range of 0-15.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.8 <a name="upinter">Interval - mandatory if 'Upload Table' entries specified</h4></p>
+<p>
+Select the length of Clock RINEX files and SP3 Orbit files. The default value is 1 day.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.9 <a name="upclksmpl">Sampling</h4></p>
+<p>BNC requires an orbit corrections sampling interval for the stream to be uploaded and sampling intervals for SP3 and Clock RINEX files. The outgoing stream's clock correction sampling interval follows that of incoming corrections and is therefore nothing to be specified here.</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.15.9.1 <a name="upclkorb">Orbits (Orb) - mandatory if 'Upload Table' entries specified</h4></p>
+<p>Select the stream's orbit correction sampling interval in seconds. A value of 60 sec may be appropriate.</p>
+<p> A value of zero '0' tells BNC to upload all orbit correction samples coming in from the real-time GNSS engine along with the clock correction samples to produce combined orbit and clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris (1060 for GPS, 1066 for GLONASS).
+</p>
+<p>
+Configuration examples:
+</p>
+Let us suppose a real-time network engine supporting BNC every <u>5 sec</u> with GPS Broadcast Corrections for orbits, clocks and code biases in 'RTNET' stream format.
+<ul>
+<li>With 'Sampling Orb' set to '0'  BNC will produce</li>
+<ul>
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1059 message for GPS code biases,</li>
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1060 message for combined orbit and clock corrections to GPS Broadcast Ephemeris.</li>
 </ul>
-<p>With &#8216;Sampling Orb&#8217; set to &#8216;5&#8217; BNC will produce</p>
-<ul class="simple">
+<br>
+<li>With 'Sampling Orb' set to '5' BNC will produce</li>
+<ul> 
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1057 message for GPS orbit corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris,</li>
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1058 message for GPS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris,</li>
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1059 message for GPS code biases.</li>

 <li>Every 5 sec a 1058 message for GPS clock corrections to Broadcast Ephemeris,</li>
 <li>Every 5 sec a 1059 message for GPS code biases.</li>
 </ul>
-<p>Note that only when specifying a value of zero &#8216;0&#8217; (default) for &#8216;Sampling Orb&#8217;, BNC produces combined orbit and clock correction messages.</p>

+<p>
+Each stream on an Ntrip Broadcaster (and consequently on BNC) is defined using a unique source ID called mountpoint. An Ntrip Client like BNC accesses the desired stream by referring to its mountpoint. Information about streams and their mountpoints is available through the source-table maintained by the Ntrip Broadcaster.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Streams selected for retrieval are listed under the 'Streams' canvas on BNC's main window. The list provides the following information either extracted from source-table(s) produced by the Ntrip Broadcasters or introduced by BNC's user:
+</p>
+<p>
+<table>
+<tr><td>'resource loader'&nbsp; </td><td>Ntrip Broadcaster URL and port, or<br>TCP/IP host and port, or<br>UDP port, or<br>Serial input port specification.</td></tr>

-<h4>Edit Streams<a class="headerlink" href="#edit-streams" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>BNC automatically allocates one of its internal decoders to a stream based on the stream&#8217;s &#8216;format&#8217; and &#8216;format-details&#8217; as given in the source-table. However, there might be cases where you need to override the automatic selection due to an incorrect source-table for example. BNC allows users to manually select the required decoder by editing the decoder string. Double click on the &#8216;decoder&#8217; field, enter your preferred decoder and then hit Enter. Accepted decoder strings are &#8216;RTCM_2.x&#8217;, &#8216;RTCM_3.x&#8217; and &#8216;RTNET&#8217;.</p>
-<p>In case you need to log the raw data as it is, BNC allows users to by-pass its decoders and directly save the input in daily logfiles. To do this, specify the decoder string as &#8216;ZERO&#8217;. The generated filenames are created from the characters of the streams mountpoints plus two-digit numbers each for year, month, and day. Example: Setting the &#8216;decoder&#8217; string for mountpoint WTZZ0 to &#8216;ZERO&#8217; and running BNC on March 29, 2007 would save raw data in a file named WTZZ0_070329.</p>
-<p>BNC can also retrieve streams from virtual reference stations (VRS). To initiate these streams, an approximate rover position needs to be sent in NMEA format to the Ntrip Broadcaster. In return, a user-specific data stream is generated, typically by Network RTK software. VRS streams are indicated by a &#8216;yes&#8217; in the source-table as well as in the &#8216;nmea&#8217; column on the &#8216;Streams&#8217; canvas in BNC&#8217;s main window. They are customized exactly to the latitude and longitude transmitted to the Ntrip Broadcaster via NMEA GGA sentences.</p>
-<p>If NMEA GGA sentences are not coming from a serially connected GNSS rover, BNC simulates them from the default latitude and longitude of the source-table as shown in the &#8216;lat&#8217; and &#8216;long&#8217; columns on the &#8216;Streams&#8217; canvas. However, in many cases you would probably want to change these defaults according to your requirement. Double-click on &#8216;lat&#8217; and &#8216;long&#8217; 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 (example: 358.872 or -1.128). Only streams with a &#8216;yes&#8217; in their &#8216;nmea&#8217; column can be edited. The position should preferably be a point within the VRS service area of the network. RINEX files generated from these streams will contain an additional COMMENT line in the header beginning with &#8216;NMEA&#8217; showing the &#8216;lat&#8217; and &#8216;long&#8217; used.</p>
-<p>Note that when running BNC in a Local Area Network (LAN), NMEA strings may be blocked by a proxy server, firewall or virus scanner when not using the Ntrip Version 2 transport protocol.</p>

+
+<p><h4>2.19.1.1 <a name="streamcaster">Add Stream - Coming from Caster</h4></p>
+
+<p>
+Button 'Add Stream' &gt; 'Coming from Caster' opens a window that allows users to select data streams from an Ntrip Broadcaster according to their mountpoints and show a distribution map of offered streams.

+
+<p><h4>2.19.1.1.1 <a name="streamhost">Caster Host and Port - mandatory</h4></p>
+<p>
+Enter the Ntrip Broadcaster host IP and port number. Note that EUREF and IGS operate Ntrip Broadcasters at <u>http://www.euref-ip.net/home</u>, <u>http://www.igs-ip.net/home</u>, <u>http://products.igs-ip.net/home</u> and <u>http://mgex.igs-ip.net/home</u>.

+<p>
+Streams on Ntrip Broadcasters may be protected. Enter a valid 'User' ID and 'Password' for access to protected streams. Accounts are usually provided per Ntrip Broadcaster through a registration procedure. Register through <u>http://register.rtcm-ntrip.org</u> for access to protected streams from EUREF and IGS.

+
+<p><h4>2.19.1.1.4 <a name="gettable">Get Table</h4></p>
+<p>
+Use the 'Get Table' button to download the source-table from the Ntrip Broadcaster. Pay attention to data fields 'format' and 'format-details'. Keep in mind that BNC can only decode and convert streams that come in RTCM Version 2, RTCM Version 3, or RTNET format. For access to observations, Broadcast Ephemeris and Broadcast Corrections in RTCM format, streams must contain a selection of appropriate message types as listed in the Annex, cf. data field 'format-details' for available message types and their repetition rates in brackets. Note that in order to produce RINEX Navigation files, RTCM Version 3 streams containing message types 1019 (GPS) and 1020 (GLONASS) and 1043 (SBAS) and 1044 (QZSS) and 1045, 1046 (Galileo) and 63 (BDS/BeiDou, tentative message number) are required. Select your streams line by line, use +Shift and +Ctrl when necessary. The figure below provides an example source-table.
+</p>
+<p>
+The content of data field 'nmea' tells you whether a stream retrieval needs to be initiated by BNC through sending an NMEA-GGA message carrying approximate position coordinates (Virtual Reference Station, VRS).

+<p>
+Hit 'OK' to return to the main window. If you wish, you can click on 'Add Stream' and repeat the process of retrieving streams from different casters.

However, note that graphics support is also required when producing plots in batch mode (option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-nw</span></code>). Windows and Mac OS X systems always support graphics. For producing plots in batch mode on Linux systems you must make sure that at least a virtual X-Server such as &#8216;Xvfb&#8217; is installed and the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-display</span></code> option is used.

-<p>Although BNC is primarily a real-time online tool, for debugging purposes it can be run offline to read data from a file previously saved through option &#8216;Raw output file&#8217; (Record &amp; Replay functionality). Enter the following command line option for that</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">--file &lt;inputFileName&gt;</span>

-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>Note that when running BNC offline, it will use options for file saving, interval, sampling, PPP etc. from its configuration file. Note further that option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--file</span></code> forces BNC to apply the &#8216;-nw&#8217; option for running in &#8216;no window&#8217; mode.</p>

You may change this name at startup time using command line option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--conf</span> <span class="pre">&lt;confFileName&gt;</span></code>. This allows running several BNC jobs in parallel on the same host using different sets of configuration options. &#8216;confFileName&#8217; stands either for the full path to a configuration file or just for a filename. If you introduce only a filename, the corresponding file will be saved in the current working directory from where BNC is started, e.g.</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">./bnc --conf MyConfig.bnc</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>This leads to a BNC job using configuration file &#8216;MyConfig.bnc&#8217;. The configuration file will be saved in the current working directory.</p>

-<div class="section" id="configuration-options-optional">
-<h4>Configuration Options - optional<a class="headerlink" href="#configuration-options-optional" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h4>
-<p>BNC applies options from the configuration file but allows updating every one of them on the command line while the content of the configuration file remains unchanged. Note the following syntax for Command Line Interface (CLI) options:</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">--key &lt;keyName&gt; &lt;keyValue&gt;</span>
-</pre></div>
-</div>
-<p>Parameter &lt;keyName&gt; stands for the key name of an option contained in the configuration file and &lt;keyValue&gt; stands for the value you want to assign to it. The following is a syntax example for a complete command line:</p>
-<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="go">bnc --nw --conf &lt;confFileName&gt; --key &lt;keyName1&gt; &lt;keyValue1&gt; --key &lt;keyName2&gt; &lt;keyValue2&gt; ...</span>
-</pre></div>

+<li>Enter the serial 'Port name' selected on your host for communication with the receiver. Valid port names are
+<pre>
+Windows:       COM1, COM2
+Linux:         /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1
+FreeBSD:       /dev/ttyd0, /dev/ttyd1
+Digital Unix:  /dev/tty01, /dev/tty02
+HP-UX:         /dev/tty1p0, /dev/tty2p0
+SGI/IRIX:      /dev/ttyf1, /dev/ttyf2
+SunOS/Solaris: /dev/ttya, /dev/ttyb
+</pre>
+</li>
+<li>Select a 'Baud rate' for the serial input. Note that using a high baud rate is recommended.</li>
+<li>Select the number of 'Data bits' for the serial input. Note that often '8' data bits are used.</li>
+<li>Select the 'Parity' for the serial input. Note that parity is often set to 'NONE'.</li>
+<li>Select the number of 'Stop bits' for the serial input. Note that often '1' stop bit is used.</li>
+<li>Select a 'Flow control' for the serial link. Select 'OFF' if you do not know better.</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+When selecting one of the serial communication options listed above, make sure that you pick those configured to the serially connected GNSS receiver.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Streams received from a serially connected GNSS receiver show up with an 'S' (for <u>S</u>erial Port, no Ntrip) in the 'Streams' canvas section on BNC's main window. Latitude and longitude are to be entered just for informal reasons.
+<p>
+
+<p>
+The following figure shows a BNC example setup for pulling a stream via serial port on a Windows operating system.
+</p>
+<p><img src="IMG/screenshot15.png"/></p>
+<p><u>Figure 41:</u> BNC configuration for pulling a stream via serial port</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.19.2 <a name="streamsdelete">Delete Stream</h4></p>
+<p>
+Button 'Delete Stream' allows you to delete streams previously selected for retrieval as listed under the 'Streams' canvas on BNC's main window.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.19.3 <a name="streamsmap">Map</h4></p>
+<p>
+Button 'Map' opens a window to show a distribution map of the streams selected for retrieval as listed under the 'Streams' canvas. You may like to zoom in or out using the mouse. Left button: draw a rectangle to zoom, right button: zoom out, middle button: zoom back.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.19.4 <a name="start">Start</h4></p>
+<p>
+Hit 'Start' to start retrieving, decoding or converting GNSS data streams in real-time. Note that 'Start' generally forces BNC to begin with fresh RINEX files which might overwrite existing files when necessary unless option 'Append files' is ticked.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.19.5 <a name="stop">Stop</h4></p>
+<p>
+Hit the 'Stop' button in order to stop BNC.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.19.6 <a name="contexthelp">Help? = Shift+F1</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC comes with a <i>What's This</i> help system providing information about its functionality and usage. Short descriptions are available for any widget and program option. Focus to the relevant object and press Shift+F1 to request help information. A help text appears immediately; it disappears as soon as the user does something else. The dialogs on some operating systems may provide a '?' button that users can click; click the relevant widget to pop up the help text.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20 <a name="cmd">Command Line Options</h4></p>
+<p>
+Command line options are available to run BNC in 'no window' mode or let it read previously recorded input offline from one or several files for debugging or post processing purposes. It is also possible to introduce a specific configuration filename instead of using the default filename 'BNC.bnc'. The self-explaining content of the configuration file can easily be edited. 
+</p>
+<p>
+In addition to reading processing options from the involved configuration file, BNC can optionally read any configuration option from command line. Running BNC with command line option 'help'
+</p>
+<p>
+Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bnc --help (MS Windows: bnc.exe --help | more)
+</p>
+<p>
+provides a list of all available command line options.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.1 <a name="cmdVersion">Version - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Command line option '--version' lets BNC print its version number.
+</p>
+<p>
+Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bnc --version (MS Windows: bnc.exe --version | more)
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.2 <a name="cmdDisplay">Display - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+On systems which support graphics, command line option '--display' forces BNC to present the BNC window on the specified display.
+</p>
+<p>
+Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bnc.exe --display localhost:10.0
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.3 <a name="nw">No Window Mode - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Apart from its regular windows mode, BNC can be started on all systems as a batch job with command line option '-nw'. BNC will then run in 'no window' mode, using processing options from its configuration file on disk. Terminate BNC using Windows Task Manager when running it in 'no window' mode on Windows systems.
+</p>
+<p>
+Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bnc.exe --nw
+</p>
+<p>
+It is obvious that BNC requires graphics support when started in interactive
+mode. However, note that graphics support is also required when producing plots in
+batch mode (option -nw). Windows and Mac OS X systems always support graphics. For
+producing plots in batch mode on Linux systems you must make sure that at
+least a virtual X-Server such as 'Xvfb' is installed and the '-display' option
+is used. The following is an example shell script to execute BNC in batch mode
+for producing QC plots from RINEX files. It could be used via 'crontab':
+</p>
+<pre>
+   #!/bin/bash
+
+   # Save string localhost
+   echo "localhost" > /home/user/hosts
+
+   # Start virtual X-Server, save process ID
+   /usr/bin/Xvfb :29 -auth /home/user/hosts -screen 0 1280x1024x8 &
+   psID=`echo $!`
+
+   # Run BNC application with defined display variable
+   /home/user/BNC/bnc --conf /dev/null --key reqcAction Analyze --key reqcObsFile ons12090.12o --key reqcNavFile brdc2090.12p --key reqcOutLogFile multi.txt --key reqcPlotDir /home/user --display localhost:29 --nw
+
+   # BNC done, kill X-server process
+   kill $psID
+</pre>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.4 <a name="post">File Mode - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+Although BNC is primarily a real-time online tool, for debugging purposes it can be run offline to read data from a file previously saved through option 'Raw output file' (Record &amp; Replay functionality). Enter the following command line option for that
+</p>
+<p>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --file &lt;<u>inputFileName</u>&gt;
+</p>
+
+and specify the full path to an input file containing previously saved data. Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ./bnc --file /home/user/raw.output_110301
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that when running BNC offline, it will use options for file saving, interval, sampling, PPP etc. from its configuration file.
+</p>
+<p>Note further that option '--file' forces BNC to apply the '-nw' option for running in 'no window' mode.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.5 <a name="conffile">Configuration File - optional</h4></p>
+The default configuration filename is 'BNC.bnc'. You may change this name at startup time using command line option '--conf &lt;<u>confFileName</u>&gt;'. This allows running several BNC jobs in parallel on the same host using different sets of configuration options. <u>confFileName</u> stands either for the full path to a configuration file or just for a filename. If you introduce only a filename, the corresponding file will be saved in the current working directory from where BNC is started.
+</p>
+<p>
+Example:<br><br>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ./bnc --conf MyConfig.bnc
+</p>
+<p>
+This leads to a BNC job using configuration file 'MyConfig.bnc'. The configuration file will be saved in the current working directory.
+</p>
+
+<p><h4>2.20.6 <a name="confopt">Configuration Options - optional</h4></p>
+<p>
+BNC applies options from the configuration file but allows updating every one of them on the command line while the content of the configuration file remains unchanged. Note the following syntax for Command Line Interface (CLI) options:
+</p>
+<p>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --key &lt;keyName&gt; &lt;keyValue&gt;
+</p>
+<p>
+Parameter &lt;keyName&gt; stands for the key name of an option contained in the configuration file and &lt;keyValue&gt; stands for the value you want to assign to it. The following is a syntax example for a complete command line:
+</p>
+<p>
+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; bnc --nw --conf &lt;confFileName&gt --key &lt;keyName1&gt; &lt;keyValue1&gt; --key &lt;keyName2&gt; &lt;keyValue2&gt; ...
+</p>
+<p>
+Configuration options which are part of the configuration files PPP section must be prefixed by 'PPP/'. As an example, option 'minObs' from the PPP section of the BNC configuration file would be specified as 'PPP/minObs' on a command line.
+</p>
+<p>
+Values for configuration options can be introduced via command line exactly as they show up in the configuration file. However, any value containing one or more blank characters must be enclosed by quotation marks when specified on command line.

+The Ntrip Broadcaster maintains a source-table containing information on available Ntrip streams, networks of Ntrip streams and Ntrip Broadcasters. The source-table is sent to an Ntrip Client on request. Source-table records are dedicated to one of the following: Data Streams (record type STR), Casters (record type CAS), or Networks of streams (record type NET).
