A combination of raw and summary data may be used to study the diurnal and seasonal trends of
the ionosphere at a location of interest, in support of scientific research and long-term data
collection.
The GPStation-6 also includes a SW utility package to support control of receiver operations and data
post-processing. Custom data extraction utilities for processing the GPStation-6 GISTM logs are
included, and example C++ source code (.cpp files) is supplied to aid in users developing their own
extraction or processing code. Detailed descriptions of all of these various software utilities are
included on page 21.
System Components
The GPStation-6 GISTM system consists of the following components:
•
GPStation-6 receiver. The enclosure houses a OEM628 GNSS receiver and an Oven-Controlled
Crystal Oscillator (OCXO)
•
CD-ROM. Real time data collection, status monitoring, receiver configuration and post-
processing software utilities.
GISTM Receiver Heritage and the GSV4004B
Built on nearly 20 years of technological heritage and a collaborative partnership between NovAtel
Inc. and GPS Silicon Valley, the GPStation-6 is the next offering in a long line of GISTM receivers.
The GPStation-6 is a direct upgrade and product replacement for the GSV4004B GISTM receiver, a
product sold and supported by GPS Silicon Valley since 2004 (no longer commercially available). A
business partnership with GPS Silicon Valley continues via GPStation-6 consulting support.
The GPStation-6 combines the field proven enclosure design of the GSV4004B platform with
NovAtel Inc.'s future-proof OEM628 GNSS receiver. This combination of advanced technologies
allows NovAtel to bring to market a performance-proven, next generation GISTM receiver.
The GPStation-6 was designed to provide maximum backward compatibility for existing GSV4004B
customers. The enclosure communication interface and supporting software utilities will be familiar
to existing customers and legacy logs and commands have been carried forward as possible. Due to
fundamental changes between the OEM4 receiver used in the GSV4004B and the OEM628 receiver
used in the GPStation-6, certain legacy commands have been replaced with their OEM628
equivalents. The new commands and logs are defined in Chapter 4, Commands and Chapter 5, Logs
of this User Manual. Due to the required changes, special care should be taken when migrating
existing GSV4004B scripts and processing software.
