Signal Status tiles

The Signal Status tiles display tracking information for the GNSS signals available to the receiver.

NovAtel Connect displays one Signal Status tile for each GNSS constellation that the receiver is capable of tracking. The GNSS constellations available vary based on the receiver model.

Tracking information about the signals is displayed on several tabs:

  • Carrier/Noise Ratio (CNO)

  • Pseudorange (PSR)

  • Doppler

  • Residual (Res.)

  • Lock Time (Time)

The color of the tile indicates if signals from that constellation are used in the solution:

  • Green: When at least one tracked satellite is used in solution

  • Red: When no tracked satellites are used in solution

Double click a Signal Status tile, or click , to open the Channel Tracking Status window for a constellation.

Carrier to noise density ratio (dB-Hz) values are displayed in this window. These values indicate the strength of the signal.

Pseudorange (km) values are displayed in this window. These values indicate the distance to the Satellite from the Antenna.

Doppler values are displayed in this window.

Pseudorange residual values are displayed in this window.

Lock Time values are displayed in this window. The lock time indicates the time the receiver has continuously tracked the signal.

Graph details

  • Each vertical bar represents a Satellite Vehicle (SV) Channel. Each of them has unique number which is displayed beside the heading Channel

  • A channel may or may not be tracking a Satellite at any given moment

  • The PRN of a tracked satellite is displayed beside the heading PRN

  • Each channel may have single or multiple sub-channels corresponding to multiple frequencies

For details about the information provided on this window, refer to the TRACKSTAT log in the documentation.
