This log provides information on the state of RTK ASSIST.

RTK ASSIST operates in two modes: coast and full assist. The RTKASSISTSTATUS log reports which mode is currently available. Coast mode is available as soon as the RTK ASSIST corrections are received from the L-Band satellite, while full assist mode requires a convergence period. In coast mode, position error growth during RTK correction outages is slightly worse than in full assist mode and RTK will not resume following a full signal outage until after RTK corrections are restored. Full assist gives the lowest position error growth during RTK correction outages, and makes it possible for RTK to resume even if there are complete GNSS signal outages during the RTK ASSIST period.

The RTK ASSIST ACTIVE state reported in the RTKASSISTSTATUS log is also reported in the RTKPOS and BESTPOS extended solution status field. See Table: Extended Solution Status.

The RTKASSISTSTATUS log reports the time remaining in the RTK ASSIST ACTIVE state. Once RTK ASSIST becomes active, the remaining time will count down from the time out set by the RTKASSISTTIMEOUT command .

The corrections age reported in the RTKASSISTSTATUS log should typically be below 30 seconds. If the age exceeds this value, then L-Band tracking is likely degraded. The most likely cause of degraded L-Band tracking are obstructions between the antenna and the L-Band satellite.
