For deselecting satellites, you have to distinguish, whether satellites are to be disabled for the use within the real-time system only or for the use in postprocessing as well. In the first case, real-time only, the observations from disabled satellites will be written into data files such as RINEX files, if data storage is activated. Thus, they are available for postprocessing. However, these observations will not be used for raw data analysis or passed on to modules using real-time data, such as the Synchronizer. The Satellite Tracking view will also not display real-time disabled satellites.

When a satellite is disabled for real-time and postprocessing applications, no satellite observation passes the respective GNSS Receiver module. However, with a passive connection to the reference station receiver, the receiver still tracks disabled satellites. Modules, which get the data stream before the GNSS Receiver module gets it, will therefore nevertheless receive this satellite's observation. Examples for such modules are the Router or the Raw Storage modules.

All in all, we have three satellite disabling states:

Specific satellite	All sats	Selecting this check box or button results in Status	Details
	Disable none	Enabled.	- Observations are available for real-time applications and for data storage.
	RT Disable All	RT disabled: Disabled for real-time application.	- Observations are written into data files, if data storage is activated. They are not used for raw data analysis.
	Disable All	RT/PP disabled: Disabled for real-time application as well as for post-processing.	- No observation passes the GNSS Receiver modules. - With passive connections to the reference station receiver, observations are passed on to the Router modules.
