Satellite Enable/Disable

Select Satellites / Enable/Disable.

 

Constellation tabs

A separate tab is available for each tracked constellation.

Use these settings to show and to control which satellites are enabled or are set to ignore bad health status. Each satellite has two check boxes associated with it. These check boxes control how the receiver treats each satellite.

An overall option to turn all tracking for each constellation on or off is available on the Receiver Configuration - Tracking page.

SV – The numeric identifier of the satellite.

Enable – If the Enable check box is selected, the receiver uses the satellite in positioning and places the measurements from that satellite in logged data files, as long as the satellite is reported to be healthy, or as long as the Ignore Health check box is checked.

If the Enable check box is not selected, the receiver does not use the satellite in positioning, and does not place the measurements in logged data files, regardless of the reported health or the state of the Ignore Health check box. It is not recommended that satellites be explicitly disabled.

Ignore Health – The receiver does not normally track satellites that are considered unhealthy. However, if the Ignore Health check box is selected for a satellite, then the receiver tracks that satellite even if it is considered unhealthy. Measurements from that satellite are used in all outputs such as logged measurements, logged ephemeris files, and in any other output that gives raw measurement values. Regardless of this setting, unhealthy satellites are never used to calculate the position of the receiver. Trimble recommends that you do not track unhealthy satellites in normal (non-scientific) applications.

Use the Enable All and Disable All buttons as a quick way to turn on or off the use of all satellites if several have been disabled. Use the Ignore Health All as a quick way to ignore the health of all enabled satellites.
