Parameter Files allow you to save or load all GUI settings independent from the observation file. It is possible to load the parameters from a Settings File.
If you load a parameter file, all GUI settings, independent of the observation file, are changed. This way, you can process an observation file with identical settings to another (old) processing. Of course, you can create parameter files for specific processing styles (e.g., smartphones, single frequency, UC with ionospheric constraint,…).
Naturally, it is possible to load the default parameters, which resets the GUI to the default values but keeps the current observation file.
For example, the RINEX file A was processed with settings X. If you want to process RINEX file B with settings X, you load the RINEX file B into the GUI and then load the parameters from the settings.mat of X.
Currently, raPPPid provides the following exemplary Parameter Files:
- default.mat: Default settings of the GUI
- manually_TUG.mat: Example for the manual selection of input data using pseudo-code and the repro3 products from TU Graz (link). Please note that the data for these processing settings have to be downloaded manually from the repro3 folder of, for example, CDDIS.
- pppar_cnes.mat: PPP-AR with the operational IGS products from CNES.
- pppar_code_mgex.mat: PPP-AR with the IGS MGEX products from CODE. Please note that the corresponding ANTEX file (M20.atx) is included in DATA/ANTEX
- pppar_code_rapid.mat: PPP-AR with the operational rapid IGS product from CODE. Uses GPT3 as troposphere model.
- smartphone_postprocess.mat: Suitable for processing smartphone data in the uncombined model with ionospheric constraint in post-processing conditions (e.g., CODE MGEX products, CODE final GIM, CAS Multi-GNSS DCBs). Only code observations are processed but smoothed with Doppler observations. Of course, several settings (e.g., thresholds) might be adapted for a specific smartphone device.
- smartphone_realtime.mat: Suitable for processing smartphone data in the uncombined model with ionospheric constraint in real-time conditions (e.g., CNES real-time correction stream). Only code observations are processed. Of course, several settings (e.g., thresholds) might be adapted for a specific smartphone device. Please note that the selected ionosphere model ('GIOMO predicted') is currently not publicly available.
- CNES_postprocessed_igs14/igs20.at: Using CNES post-processed products in IGS14 or IGS20 reference frame (before/after November 2022). Before using this parameter file, you must manually download these products and copy them into the folder structure of raPPPid with CopyData2Folders(). The download link is the following:
http://www.ppp-wizard.net/products/POST_PROCESSED/post_$yyyy$doy.tgz where $yyyy is the 4-digit year (e.g., 2023) and $doy is the 3-digit day-of-year (e.g., 012).
Settings Files allow you to save or load all settings from or to the GUI. When saving a Settings File, the current setup of the GUI is saved, and you can reload it later. When you load a Settings File, all current settings in the GUI are overwritten with the loaded settings. If you want to reprocess a specific old processing, you can load the old Settings File and push the RUN button. When loading real old Settings Files, errors might occur due to software adaptations. You might check the output file settings_summary.txt in such a case.
