Observations Window

The Observations window displays information regarding all the observation files (GPB) that are included in the project.

Columns in the Observations Window

Name

Name of the station (entered or scanned during data import).

AntHgt

Antenna height for the period at which the observations were made.

AntType

Name of absolute antenna model applied.

File

File, path and name of the GPB observation file.

#

If multiple observation periods are contained within one GPB file, this column indicates which of those observation periods is being referred to. Observation periods are numbered sequentially in the order they appear in the GPB file.

Length

Length of the observation period in HH:MM:SS.

Start Date

Date when the observation period started in MM/DD/YYYY.

Start Time

Time of day at which the observation period started in HH:MM:SS.

Receiver

Name of receiver as decoded to the GPB file.

Freq

Indicates whether data is single or dual frequency.

Int(s)

Interval, in seconds, at which the data was logged.

Right-click Options for Observations in Project Window
