GLOALMANAC

Decoded GLONASS L1 C/A Almanac

Platform:

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

The GLONASS L1 C/A almanac reference time and week are in GPS reference time coordinates. GLONASS ephemeris information is available through the GLOEPHEMERIS log.

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

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).
