    12931293Specify the receiver's antenna name as defined in your ANTEX file. Observations will be corrected for the antenna phase center's offset which may result in a reduction of a few centimeters at max. Corrections for phase center variations are not yet applied by BNC. The specified name must consist of 20 characters. Add trailing blanks if the antenna name has less then 20 characters. Examples:

    1398 Hit the 'Add Row' button then double click on the 'Mountpoint' field, enter a Broadcast Ephemeris corrections mountpoint from the 'Streams' section below and hit Enter. Then double click on the 'AC Name' field to enter your choice of an abbreviation for the Analysis Center (AC) providing the stream. Finally, double click on the 'Weight' field to enter a weight to be applied to this stream in the combination. The combination process will start when at least two corrections streams are configured for the combination.

    1401 Note that an appropriate 'Wait for full epoch' value needs to be specified for the combination under the 'Broadcast Corrections' tab. A value of '15' sec would make sense for that if the update rate of incoming clock corrections is i.e. 10 sec.
    1402 </p>
    1403 <p>
    1404 Note further that the sequence of entries in the 'Combination Table' is of importance. BNC considers the first AC in the 'Combination Table' as the 'Master AC'. The orbit information in the final combination stream is just copied from the 'Master AC's orbits. Moreover, the update rate of the combination product is defined by the update rate of the 'Master AC's stream. If the incoming streams have different rates, only epochs that correspond to the 'Master AC's update rate are used. Skipped epochs are however stored in the plain ASCII formated files mentioned below. It means that the 'Master AC' is responsible for two things: the satellite positions and the combination rate.

    1450 As an SP3 file contents should be refered to the satellite's Center of Mass (CoM) while correctors are refered to the satellite's Antenna Phase Center (APC), an offset has to be applied as taken from an IGS ANTEX file (see section 'ANTEX File'). You should therefore specify the &quot;ANTEX File' path under tab 'PPP (2)' if you want to save a combination product in SP3 format. If you don't specify an 'ANTEX File' path, the SP3 file contents will be refered to the satellites APCs.

You should therefore specify the 'ANTEX File' path under tab 'PPP (2)' if you want to save a combination product in SP3 format.
