[time-nuts] Relationship between fixes and time duration?

2013-05-05 Thread James Robbins
What is the relationship between the T'Bolt survey fixes number (e.g. 2000) and number of hours duration of the survey? Is it one fix per second or something? What number of fixes should be input to accomplish a 24 hour or a 48 hour survey? Second question: how is the survey duration set on

There are multiple variables that effect the minimum number of fixes that will yield a particular position accuracy (and hence a time accuracy when using that position as truth). (1) The ability of the antenna to see the entire sky. If a mountain, tall building or tree is between you and a
