3.13.1.10 SNX TRO File - optional
-This panel allows to enter parameters specific to each PPP process. Individual sigmas for a-priori coordinates and a noise for coordinate variations over time can be introduced. Furthermore, a sigma for model based troposphere estimates and the corresponding noise for troposphere variations can be specified. Finally, local IP ports can be defined for output of NMEA streams carrying PPP results. -

3.13.3 PPP (3): Processing Options
BNC allows using different Point Positioning processing options depending on the capability of the involved receiver and the application in mind. It also allows introducing specific sigmas for code and phase observations as well as for reference coordinates and troposphere estimates. You may also like to carry out your PPP solution in Quick-Start mode or enforce BNC to restart a solution if the length of an outage exceeds a certain threshold. +
++The intention of this panel is to specify general processing options which are to be applied to all PPP threads carried out in one BNC job.
