Ephemeris Manager Orbit Feed view

With the RTX processing functionality licensed, the Ephemeris Manager has extended functionality.

• It connects to Trimble CenterPoint RTX, the Trimble server of corrected orbits and clocks. The connection to that server is specified with the Ephemeris Manager property Use Trimble RTX orbits/clocks set to Yes, and the incoming connection to the server correctly set up. The default connection is an NTRIP Client connection pointing to TrimbleGlobal.net at port 2101 and to the Mountpoint TGIP.
• It makes the improved, corrected clocks and orbits available to the RTX Engine module.
• It displays the additional Ephemeris Manager Orbit Feed view.

The Ephemeris Manager Orbit Feed view provides detailed information about the corrected orbit and clock data the Ephemeris Manager has received from Trimble CenterPoint RTX. Above a main table four fields display the time of the last message (Last message), the connection time (Connected since), the epoch for which the orbit and clock corrections to the broadcast orbits are calculated (the Epoch), and the identification of the server having estimated the clocks and orbit corrections (Server ID).

For a description of the table columns see the following table.

The main spreadsheet displays the current satellite status. It is empty as long as no corrected ephemeris data is available.
