     548<p><a name="reqc"><h4>3.6. RINEX Editing & QC</h4></p>
     549<p>
     550BNC allows to concatenate RINEX files and edit their contents. Observation and navigation files can be handled. BNC can also carry out a quality check of the contents of RINEX files. This functionality in BNC stands for
     551<ul>
     552<li>t = translation (from RTCM to RINEX)</li>
     553<li>e = editing and concatenation</li>
     554<li>qc = quality check</li>
     555</ul>
     556to follow UNAVCO's famous 'teqc' program. The remarkable thing about BNC in this context is that it supports RINEX Version 3 under GNU General Public License.
     557
     558<p><a name="reqcact"><h4>3.6.1 Action - optional</h4></p>
     559<p>Select an action. Options are 'Edit/Concatenate' and 'Analyze'.
     560<ul>
     561<li>Select 'Edit/Concatenate' of you want to edit RINEX file contents according to options specified under 'Set Edit Options' or if you want to concatenate several RINEX files.</li>
     562<li>Select 'Analyze' if you are interested in a quality controle of your RINEX file contents.</li>
     563</ul>
     564</p>
     565
     566<p><a name="reqcedit"><h4>3.6.2 Set Edit Options - mandatory if 'Edit/Concatenate' is set</h4></p>
     567<p>Once action 'Edit/Concationate' is selected, you have to specify editing options. BNC lets you specify the RINEX version, sampling rate, begin and end of file and marker, antenna or receiver details.
     568</p>

    549589<p>
    550590Differential 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 is using 'observation space' information. The representation with the RTCM standard can be called 'ObservationSpace Representation' (OSR).
     
    726766</pre>

    728 <p><a name="corrdir"><h4>3.6.1 Directory, ASCII - optional</h4></p>
     768<p><a name="corrdir"><h4>3.7.1 Directory, ASCII - optional</h4></p>
    729769<p>
    730770Specify 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 Corrections 'Directory' is an empty option field, meaning that no Broadcast Correction files will be created.
    731771</p>
    732772
    733 <p><a name="corrint"><h4>3.6.2 Interval - mandatory if 'Directory, ASCII' is set</h4></p>

    734774<p>
    735775Select the length of the Broadcast Correction files. The default value is 1 day.

     778<p><a name="corrport"><h4>3.7.3 Port - optional</h4></p>
    739779<p>
    740780BNC 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.
     
    781821</p>
    782822
    783 <p><a name="corrwait"><h4>3.6.4 Wait for Full Epoch - mandatory if 'Port' is set</h4></p>
     823<p><a name="corrwait"><h4>3.7.4 Wait for Full Epoch - mandatory if 'Port' is set</h4></p>
    784824<p>
    785825When feeding a real-time GNSS network engine waiting epoch by epoch for synchronized Broadcast Corrections, BNC drops (only concerning IP port output) whatever is received later than 'Wait for full epoch' seconds. A value of 2 to 5 seconds could be an appropriate choice for that, depending on the latency of the incoming Broadcast Corrections stream and the delay acceptable by your application. A message such as &quot;COCK1: Correction overaged by 5 sec&quot; shows up in BNC's logfile if 'Wait for full epoch' is exceeded.

    792832<p>
    793833BNC can generate synchronized or unsynchronized observations epoch by epoch from all stations and satellites to feed a real-time GNSS network engine. Observations can be streamed out through an IP port and/or saved in a local file. The output is always in plain ASCII format and comprises the following parameters:
     
    847887<p><u>Figure:</u> Synchronized BNC output via IP port to feed a GNSS real-time engine.</p>
    848888
    849 <p><a name="syncport"><h4>3.7.1 Port - optional</h4></p>
     889<p><a name="syncport"><h4>3.8.1 Port - optional</h4></p>
    850890<p>
    851891BNC 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 data for any specific epoch which become available within a certain number of latency seconds (see 'Wait for Full Epoch' option). It then - epoch by epoch - outputs whatever has been received. Specify an IP port number here to activate this function. The default is an empty option field, meaning that no binary synchronized output is generated.</p>
    852892</p>
    853893
    854 <p><a name="syncwait"><h4>3.7.2 Wait for Full Epoch - mandatory if 'Port' is set</h4></p>
     894<p><a name="syncwait"><h4>3.8.2 Wait for Full Epoch - mandatory if 'Port' is set</h4></p>
    855895<p>
    856896When feeding a real-time GNSS network engine waiting for synchronized input epoch by epoch, BNC drops whatever is received later than 'Wait for full 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 epoch' is 5 seconds.

Mean latencies are calculated from the individual latencies of at most one (first incoming) observation or correction to Broadcast Ephemeris 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 the latencies available from the 'Latency' tab on the bottom of the main window represent individual latencies and not the mean latencies for the logfile.

    13641404<p>
    13651405Zero value (or empty field) means that BNC processes each epoch of data immediately after its arrival using satellite clock corrections available at that time. Non-zero value 'Sync Corr' means that the epochs of data are buffered and the processing of each epoch is postponed till the satellite clock corrections not older than 'Sync Corr' are available. Specifying a value of half the update rate of the clock corrections as 'Sync Corr' (i.e. 5 sec) may be appropriate. Note that this causes an additional delay of the PPP solutions in the amount of the update rate.

    13761416Enter the length of a sliding time window in minutes. BNC will continuously output moving average values ns and their RMS as computed from those individual values obtained most recently throughout this period. RMS values presented for XYZ coordinates and tropospheric zenit path delays are bias reduced while RMS values for Nort/East/Up (NEU) displacements are not. Averaged values for XYZ coordinates and their RMS are marked with string &quot;AVE-XYZ&quot; in BNC's log file and 'Log' section while averaged values for NEU displacements and their RMS are marked with string &quot;AVE-NEU&quot; and averaged values for the tropospheric delays and their RMS are marked with string &quot;AVE-TRP&quot;.
