BDSALMANAC

Decoded BDS Almanac

Platform:

OEM719, OEM729, OEM7500, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7, SMART2

This log contains the decoded BeiDou B1I almanac parameters, with the parity information removed and appropriate scaling applied. Multiple messages are transmitted, one for each SV almanac collected. For more information about almanac data, refer to the BDS Signal Specification.

The OEM7 family of receivers automatically save almanacs in their Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), so creating an almanac boot file is not necessary.

Message ID: 1584

Log Type: Asynch

The speed at which the receiver locates and locks onto new satellites is improved if the receiver has approximate time and position (SETAPPROXTIME and SETAPPROXPOS), as well as an almanac. This allows the receiver to compute the elevation of each satellite so it can tell which satellites are visible and their Doppler offsets, improving Time to First Fix (TTFF).
