Probably existing files will be overwritten. However, it may be desirable to append observations to already existing RINEX files following a restart of BNC after an intentional 'Stop', a system crash or a crash of BNC. Hit 'Append files' to continue with already existing files and thus save what has been recorded so far.

Pay attention to data fields 'format' and 'format-details'. Keep in mind that BNC can only decode and convert streams that come in RTCM 2.x, RTCM 3, or RTIGS format s. RTCM 2.x streams must contain message types 18 and 19 while RTCM 3 streams must contain GPS 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.

It may happen that you need to overrule the automated decoder selection because of source-table setup deficiencies. Therefore BNC allows to edit the decoder string (first double-click, then edit field 'decoder', then hit Enter) for the streams shown under 'Mountpoints'. Accepted decoder strings allowed to be introduced are 'RTCM_2.x', 'RTCM_3', and 'RTIGS'. 361 BNC automatically selects one out of several internal decoders for a stream based on its 'format' and 'format-details' as given in the source-table.

To activate this functionality you need to enter the decoder string 'ZERO'. The generated file names are build from the characters of the affected mountpoints plus the two-digit numbers for year, month, and day. Example: Setting the 'decoder' string for mountpoint WTZZ0 to 'ZERO' and runnign BNC on March 29, 2007 to save incoming data untouched in a file would lead to a file name WTZZ0_070329. 358 365 </li> 359 366 <li> … … 386 393 Note that the self-explaining contents of the configuration file or the Windows register can easily be edited.
