Base Station Commands
The following commands are related to the base station and are only applicable if you are doing differential processing (i.e. DGPS or TC).
|
Command |
-basefile# [input] |
|
Example |
-basefile1 "C:\My Data\base.gpb" |
|
Description |
Specifies the location of the GNSS base station data file. |
|
Input |
Full file path to the GPB or raw data file. |
|
Notes |
If this file is not in GPB format, the command-line utility will convert it (see -basetype). Wrap the path in quotation marks if it contains spaces. The # designator must be 1…100 to uniquely identify the base station(s). |
|
Required? |
No. For differential processing, a base station file will be downloaded if this command is not present. |
|
Command |
-basetype# [input] |
|
Example |
-basetype2 GPS_LEICA1200 |
|
Description |
Specifies the receiver/format used for the base station data. |
|
Input |
See Table: List of Receiver Types (for -basetype and -remtype) |
|
Notes |
Check with Waypoint Support if your receiver type is not listed here. Only applicable if the -basefile command is used. The # designator must be 1…100 to uniquely identify the base station(s). |
|
Required? |
No. If the file specified by -basefile is not already in GPB format and this command is not used, then the utility will attempt to auto-detect the receiver type. Use this command if auto-detection fails. |
|
Command |
-basecoord# [latitude] [longitude] [height] |
|
Example |
-basecoord1 36.161066211 -121.137349121 101.484 |
|
Description |
Specifies the coordinates of the base station. |
|
Input |
Latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), ellipsoidal height (meters) |
|
Notes |
These coordinates must be in the same datum specified by the -procdatum command. Only applicable if the -basefile command is used. The # designator must be 1…100 to uniquely identify the base station(s). |
|
Required? |
No. If the -basefile command is used but no coordinates are specified, the utility will automatically compute them using PPP. |
|
Command |
-baseht# [input] |
|
Example |
-baseht3 1.094 |
|
Description |
Specifies the height of the base station antenna. |
|
Input |
Antenna height to absolute L1 phase center (meters). |
|
Notes |
This vertical height is measured relative to the coordinates passed by -basecoord. Only applicable if the -basefile and -basecoord commands are used. The # designator must be 1…100 to uniquely identify the base station(s). |
|
Required? |
No. If not used, then the coordinates specified by -basecoord will be assumed to represent the ARP if the -baseant command is set, or else the absolute L1 phase center if the -baseant command is not set. |
|
Command |
-baseant# [input] |
|
Example |
-baseant1 LEIATX1230+GNSS |
|
Description |
Specifies the antenna profile to be used at the base station. |
|
Input |
Name of the antenna profile (IGS format for absolute antenna calibrations). |
|
Notes |
Consult the NGS or IGS website to find the proper name of your antenna's profile. Only applicable if the -basefile and -basecoord commands are used. The # designator must be 1…100 to uniquely identify the base station(s). |
|
Required? |
No |
|
Command |
-downloadbase [number] [distance] |
|
Example |
-downloadbase 5 100 |
|
Description |
Specifies the maximum number of base stations to be downloaded within a maximum distance from the remote file |
|
Input |
The maximum number of base stations to be downloaded and the maximum distance (km) to use for the search. |
|
Notes |
Cannot be used in conjunction with the enumerated -base commands. Once the number of downloaded stations reaches the specified maximum, the software will stop searching even if more stations exist within the specified distance. Similarly, the software will not download stations beyond the maximum specified distance even if the number of downloaded stations is less than the specified maximum. |
|
Required? |
No. If not specified, only the nearest base station will be downloaded. |
