[time-nuts] nuts about position

2018-04-30 Thread Mark Sims
Heather now requests the RAW and RAWX messages... those output carrier phase, 
doppler, and pseudo ranges.The M8N does not support either, but the M8T 
supports RAWX.

Heather now requests the SFRB and SFRBX messages... those output the satellite 
navigation messages. All the M8's output SFRBX.

I cranked up the M8N baud rate to 115200 and the receiver can handle all the 
various raw messages  But the bugaboo is requesting the TRK-MEAS and 
TRK-SFRBX messages.   The messages are not officially supported, Ublox forbids 
talking about them on their forums... they might even dispatch Ninja assassins 
if you talk about them.   If you request those messages on the M8N very bad 
things seem to happen...  you start receiving messages 0x27-0x00 with a length 
of either 68 bytes or around 1300-1400 bytes.  Whatever 0x27-0x00 is, nobody's 
talking...  The 0x27 message group is for security features like chip serial 
numbers.

I have an M8T on the way from Germany...

I think heather is parsing the UBX_RAW_RATE messages for the
raw GPS meansurements.  The LEA-6T allows UBX_RAW_RATE, but the
NEO-M8N does not.

I once spent way too much time trying to get Heather to spit out a RINEX file 
from a Thunderbolt.   I could never get any of the post-processors to accept 
it.   The Thunderbolt's raw data needs to somehow be tweaked to be compatible 
and I didn't really know what I was doing.

A LEA-6T seems to be able to cope with the data stream at it's default 9600 
baud.  I just tried a NEO-8N and it drops packets, etc.   Even weirder, it does 
not output any of the requested packets that might be flooding the port, but 
still drops packets.

There *is* a lot of data when you turn all this stuff on. If you can get above 
115K baud, it’s well worth it.

Thanks Ulrich for bringing this to my attention.

So, the new entry from the T&F side is David Howe, NIST. It's not a bad
achievement, behind this. Just go to the NIST T&F library and read his
articles, and then consider heading the phase-noise group at NIST. Dave
is now semi-retired from NIST, only doing a few things.

Congratulations Dave!

Cheers,
Magnus

Hi

You mean that LH does not translate the data to the correct format *and* submit 
it for post processing ?

115K baud, it’s well worth it.

One important qualifier to re-state. L1 post processing is very dependent on 
the distance to an “open” source
of correction data. The spacing of those sites over the US is highly variable. 
If you get outside the US it is very 
much a “that depends” sort of thing. Some countries apparently don’t have the 
same sort of open site network 
that we have in the US.

Coincidentally, yesterday I tweaked up Lady Heather's Ublox code to enable all 
of the necessary raw data messages.  Heather also enables the raw messages from 
Trimble TSIP speaking receivers,  the NVS CSM24 receiver, and the Furuno GT87 
receiver (if baud rate is >=115200).

Heather can write a raw data capture file (/dr=filename on the command line or 
WY from the keyboard).  You should be able to convert those raw capture files 
to RINEX and then post-process those.

Hi

If you are looking at doing a self survey on a timing module, there is a lot
of information in the archives. It turns out that (like it or not) there is very
likely to be a ~24 hour periodicity in your self survey data.  Therefor 
something
like a two, three, or four day survey will enhance your position estimate. 

Again - for all get gory details dig into the archives.

Since the timing is done against the module’s “best estimate” of it’s position, 
there isn’t a lot of benefit in having a surveyed correct position instead. More
or less, the same errors that goofed the position also goof the timing in the
same direction. Again, info in the archives.

Thanks for taking the time to write that up.  Out of curiosity, how far
away from the RINEX coordinates is an RMS or median of the original
coordinates as recorded by the GPS and how does the convergence curve
look like?  I'm trying to gauge how long I need to run my timing module
in survey mode…
