    925 <p><a name="streams"><h4>3.11. Streams</h4></p>
     930<p><a name="pppclient"><h4>3.11. PPP Client</h4></p>
     931<p>
     932BNC can derive coordinates for a rover position following the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) approach. It uses either code or phase data in ionosphere free linear combinations P3 or L3.
     933</p>
     934
     935<p><a name="pppmount"><h4>3.11.1 Mountpoint - optional</h4></p>
     936<p>
     937Specify a mountpoint if you want BNC to derive coordinates for the affected receiver position through a PPP solution.
     938</p>
     939
     940<p><a name="pppstatic"><h4>3.11.2 Static - optional</h4></p>
     941<p>
     942By default BNC considers the rover position as mobile. Tick 'Static' to consider a static observation sitatuion and adapt appropriate filter characteristics for that.
     943</p>
     944
     945<p><a name="pppphase"><h4>3.11.3 Use phase obs - optional</h4></p>
     946<p>
     947By default BNC applies a PPP solution using an ionosphere free P3 linear combination of code observations. Tick 'Use phase obs' to switch to an ionosphere free L3 linear combination of phase observations.
     948</p>
     949
     950<p><a name="ppptropo"><h4>3.11.4 Estimate tropo - optional</h4></p>
     951<p>
     952By default BNC does not introduce troposphere parameters when estimating coordinates. Tick 'Estimate tropo' to introduce troposphere parameters when estimating coordinates.
     953</p>
     954
     955<p><a name="streams"><h4>3.12. Streams</h4></p>
    926956<p>
    927957Each stream on an NTRIP broadcaster (and consequently on BNC) is defined using a unique source ID called mountpoint. An NTRIP client like BNC access the desired data stream by referring to its mountpoint. Information about streams and their mountpoints is available through the source-table maintained by the NTRIP broadcaster. Note that mountpoints could show up in BNC more than once when retrieving streams from several NTRIP broadcasters.

    975 <p><a name="logs"><h4>3.12. Logging</h4></p>
     1005<p><a name="logs"><h4>3.13. Logging</h4></p>
    9761006<p>
    9771007A tabs section on the bottom of the main window provides online controle of BNC's activities. Tabs are available to show the records saved in a logfile, for a plot to controle the bandwidth consumtion and for a plot showing stream latencies.
    9781008</p>
    979 <p><a name="logfile"><h4>3.12.1 Log</h4></p>
     1009<p><a name="logfile"><h4>3.13.1 Log</h4></p>
    9801010<p>
    9811011Records of BNC's activities are shown in the 'Log' tab. They can be saved into a file when a valid path is specified in the 'Logfile (full path)' field.
    9821012</p>

     1019<p><a name="latency"><h4>3.13.3 Latency</h4></p>
    9901020<p>
    9911021The latency of observations in each incoming stream is shown in the 'Latency' tab in milliseconds or seconds. Streams not carrying observations (i.e. those providing only broadcast ephemeris messages) are not considered here. Note that the calculation of correct latencies requires the clock of the host computer to be properly synchronized.
    9921022</p>

    10211051Use 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.x, RTCM Version 3.x, or RTIGS format. RTCM Version 2.x streams must contain message types 18 and 19 or 20 and 21 while RTCM Version 3.x streams must contain GPS or SBAS message types 1002 or 1004 and may contain GLONASS message types 1010 or 1012, see 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.x streams containing message types 1019 (GPS) and 1020 (GLONASS) are required. Select your streams line by line, use +Shift and +Ctrl when necessary.

    11301160<p>
    11311161Command line options are available to run BNC in 'no window' mode or let it read data from a file in offline mode. BNC will then use processing options from the configuration file. Note that the self-explaining contents of the configuration file can easily be edited. It is possible to introduce a specific configuration file name instead of using the default name 'BNC.ini'.

    11351165<p>
    11361166Apart from its regular windows mode, BNC can be started on all systems as a background/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.

    11441174<p>
    11451175Although BNC is primarily a real-time online tool, it can be run in offline mode to read data from a file for post processing purposes. Enter the following four command line options for that:

     1192<p><a name="conffile"><h4>3.15.3 Configuration File - optional</h4></p>
    11631193The default configuration file name is 'BNC.ini'. You may change this name at startup time using the command line option '--conf &#060;<u>confFileName</u>&#062;'. This allows to run 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 file name. If you introduce only a filename, the corresponding file will be saved in the current working directory from where BNC is started.
