QZSSALMANAC

Decoded QZSS Almanac parameters

Platform:

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

This log contains the decoded L1 C/A almanac parameters as received from the satellite with the parity information removed and appropriate scaling applied.

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

For more information about QZSS almanac data, refer to the Interface Specifications for QZSS at http://qzss.go.jp/en/technical/ps-is-qzss/ps-is-qzss.html.

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).
