General Notes

  • The program returns 0 upon successful completion or 1 if an error is encountered. Note that a return value of 0 is not a guarantee of accuracy – only that the program did not encounter any serious errors. It is left to you to ensure that the final solution meets your requirements.

  • If the input value for a command is a string containing spaces (i.e. file path or file name), it must be wrapped in quotation marks.

  • Waypoint software contains many processing options, most of which are not available to be set via the command line. If you wish to customize the processing options, it is suggested that you create your own processing profile and pass it in using the -procprofile command. Processing profiles can be created within Inertial Explorer or GrafNav under Tools | Profile Manager.

  • When downloading base station data, the utility will first search the Favorites for coordinates. If none are found, it will compute them using PPP. User-provided base station data will be processed with PPP if no coordinates are passed via the -basecoord command.

  • You cannot load an existing project file (*.PROJ) for processing.

  • This utility supports the input of up to 100 base stations. However, for differential users who do not pass in their own base station data, only one base station will be downloaded. If you require more, you may use the -downloadbase command to specify additional parameters. Alternatively, you may download the desired data first using the Download Service Data utility and then pass it in using the appropriate command.

  • Precise files are required for PPP or PPPTC processing. If the files are not provided, and the utility fails to download them, then processing will not continue.

  • The commands themselves are not case-sensitive, but some inputs are (i.e. antenna profile names).

  • All messages written to the console are preceded by a designator to indicate the nature of the message. See the table below for more information.
